Have just spent the last five days at this wonderful place geting motivated on health, doing so much more exercise than normal and at the same time relaxing and being pampered. Very rejuvinating. The staff are caring, passionate about their areas of expertise, broadly experienced and have different personalities. A great group of people with lots of support and lots... More

This shabby, tired property failed to meet our expectations. It had been closed the week before (due perhaps to the very heavy rain or small ) and there were only 20 of us (some being on a last minute two for the price of one deal.) Maybe as a small group the program was reduced, but there wasn't an awful... More

Awesome place. Wonderful staff- mix of personalities but despite all the people they meet the caring seemed sincere. You can do as much or as little as you want and slant your time towards fitness/good health/relaxation/pampering in some sort of mix. Great food. No caffeine which ended up feeling good, surprisingly. Agree owners could do a spruce up but it... More

I have had the pleasure of staying at other health retreats and they are all good for their own purposes, however Golden Door for me, was exactly what I needed. With no disrespect intended, the other retreats are to regimented and would be great if you wanted that, however this time around I needed time out. If I chose to... More

I was the oldest person there, but enjoyed it all - so many different activities, some very energetic and others very relaxing. I thought the place itself delightful, staff generally helpful and the food quite delicious - and no need to feel hungry. As others have said, absolutely no pressure to do anything, or to go flat out if you... More

I mostly loved that my time here was relaxing. There were plenty of activities to do, I managed to do most of them every day but there was no pressure from anyone to do it and no-one was ever negative if you weren't particularly enthusiastic or good at it. The meals were sensational, I normally eat a lot of meat... More

Overall I enjoyed my time at the Golden Door – the food was great and the program was enjoyable and certainly beneficial. Food: The food was the highlight of my stay and Shannon’s cooking class gave some great insights into low fat cooking. Rooms: The rooms are basic and tired and (in my case) the flywire had a tear in... More

Jack K My tired body and mind operating barely on 4 cylinders was given a complete overhaul in just 5 days. The second best holiday ever. The best was last time at the Golden Door.Everything was wonderful. The staff in particular are amazing. So up beat and caring. I am recharged and ready to face the word again.

It was with many nerves I turned up at the Golden Door...who else would be there, what would it be like to holiday on my own, would I enjoy it etc etc. Within minutes I was feeling welcome, settling in with ease and getting to know the other guests. The staff are amazing and nothing is too much trouble for... More
