Grail Springs Retreat Centre for Wellbeing

Mixed review here. I have come back 4X - Obviously different experiences - the last stay 2 full weeks. The spa services were awful - most everyone was new but you still pay a premium. I was bruised after a massage. In 2 weeks I think I enjoyed 7 lunch/dinner's of 28! They still have one good chef there but he's not there all the time (not enough). For several days in a row it was canned tomatoes and beans. I'm not joking that was the base - fruit and satisfying vegetables were scarce. They've done some great work on the grounds. That is the highlight. I was in a room that over-looked the entry way and unfortunately for me they were building a new fountain out front, which is beautiful - but it was loud and I couldn't sit on the cute little landing outside for the noise. I was there when it was vegetarian and once before when they moved to Vegan. But, they need more than one Vegan chef for the cost to stay - I went to the local grocery store last time, for the first time to get veg and fruit - Speakers I had heard years ago, same topic - If that was my first experience, I wouldn't go back.
My last stay was Sept for 15 days 2020. not a year ago.

My friend and I have made the road trip to Grail Springs twice now. We recently went with the understanding they were following all measures possible to prevent a covid situation. They did not disappoint. It was as beautiful, as peaceful, the staff and visitors social distanced themselves, while always wearing a mask. The trees were beautiful, rooms were lovely, the stars were stunning!
Both my friend and I could not believe how relaxed we were after our two night stay. Thank you to the Staff and owner of Grail Springs! A special thanks to the Chef and all the staff in the dining room that provided and served the wonderful meals everyday, we ate so well, I'm sure that added to why we felt so good! See you next year.

5 stars are not enough to capture to beautiful experience that Grail Springs provides. If you've been looking for a retreat or just to get out of the city and reconnect with yourself and nature, then this is the place for you.

The food was phenomenal and the staff were incredibly in tune with everyone's needs and preferences. They make sure to learn everyone's name to add a personable touch.

I can't wait for my next visit! 5 days just aren't enough!

I visited Grail Springs for the first time this year when my travel plans were suspended due to COVID. I wasn't sure what to expect, but WOW - it over delivered. From the beautiful grounds, outdoor activities, crystal forest and spectacular gourmet vegan cuisine. Visiting during a pandemic, I felt very safe as the proper protocols were in place and witnessed common areas routinely cleaned by the staff. If you're looking for some R&R, this place is for you. Can't wait for my next visit. This place is just MAGIC.
