由 @mariongrant8386672 評論: I stayed at this wellness haven in Costa Rica and it was the reset I didn't know I needed. The property is full of crystals and waterfalls, and I loved just wandering the trails. Finding the swings in the forest was a highlight—pure magic.

Reality check

- You are serious about detox, yoga, and clean eating
- You want a vacation where you lose weight rather than gain it
- You appreciate silence and being disconnected from the news cycle
