I found the retreat and staff excellant,and the help and support first class. The mixture of walks and exercise in the morning and relaxation with massage,facials and steam cabinet in the afternoon,great.
Galia and the staff do a great job and the house is a relaxing environ ment to detox,relax and lose weight.
As work in medical profession,was pleased to escape a busy,stressful work environment for the week and lose an amazing 18lbs in 6 days!! and many inches!!

Kind Regards

I wasn't sure what to expect when I entered the Slimmeria retreat: I know that I had over-indulged over the previous 6 months or so and it (and I) had reached a critical mass. I needed to lose the weight - and fast.
I wasn't disappointed.
The food is wholesome, fresh but, pulling no punches, there ain't a lot of it! That combined with fast 2 hour walks in beautiful surroundings along with aerobics, dance and yoga classes makes for the ulitmate fat burner, with the scales having the final say on the 6th day: I lost nearly a stone (13.5 lbs) in only 6 days. Result!
The treatments were terrific - full marks to Simone on the sports massages, and Galia as hostess was firm but fair - just the kick up the (somewhat enlarged) backside I needed!
Would I come again? Yes, absolutely and I intend to return once I've lost the next stone or so and am plateauing as I reach my final goal weight. Those size 8's are softly calling my name and I intend to get back into them again!
Just a couple of words of caution: this is detox and as such it affects different people in different ways, and you're likely to have one really off day - I had a headache and lethargy, but that cleared. Persevere because it's well worth it. By day 4/5 you'll be feeling brilliant. Also only use walking boots/trainers that you have worn in - if not, you may get blisters and will need to take Compeed plasters which I had to use the whole time I was there.

With those last, most difficult-to-shift, 12 pounds to lose, I was expecting to end my 6-day stay at The Slimmeria having lost 3 or, at a push, 4. Well, to my surprise, I lost 9 pounds (4kg)!!!!!

Galia, who runs the resort was fabulous and it was purely up to each person to decide how much they wanted to push themselves. I had forgotten how little food we need to exist (though somehow, I can't remember being particularly hungry) and that even though I have spent many, many years being a couch potato, I still had it in me to walk.

I left the premises feeling more flexible, positive, alert and much slimmer. Most importantly, my gigantic appetite had disappeared. It was fascinating to see others, bigger/taller than myself, lose even greater amounts. Slimmeria returned my enthusiasm. I no longer need to spend serious time preparing special diet meals. The beauty of Slimmeria is in its simplicity and amazing value-for-money and the treatments, particularly some of the massages, were superb!

One tip...Decide what is more important to you....Ultimate luxury and your creature comforts OR losing weight surrounded by a great support system....If it is the latter then you will not be disappointed.

Room for improvement: My particular bed and bedding was not comfortable though there were other beautiful (higher-graded) rooms... The quality of the towels could have been better without too much cost involved....The shower ensuite was tiny. That said, any complaints, however big/small, seemed to disappear when you jump on the scales at the end of your stay!!

YOU MUST TRY THIS PLACE BEFORE ANY OTHERS....
