I had high hopes for this place based on feedback I got from people I knew that visited in the past. With that being said, I wasn't that impressed especially for the price. I will start with the things that I liked/enjoyed. The overall cleanliness of the facility was excellent; landscaping was gorgeous especially with variety of birds and some bunnies. The gym area was good in terms of size and equipment variety. The pool areas were nice and the fact you can order food was a plus. I didn't like the fact that you had to purchase a spa service to access the saltwater pool. For the things I didn't like... The class schedules could have been better as well as the number of participants allowed. If you're going to have a cap then offer the class more than once, maybe a morning and evening option. The food was not the greatest, the only saving grace was breakfast. Lunch and dinner options were not the best in my opinion especially for the price. Luckily, I had a rental car, so I ventured off and grabbed some good food in the surrounding area.

The staff were all phenomenal. The property was beautiful and maintained. The classes were all great in their own ways. Everything is very convenient. I’m all for health and wellness food but I was burning so many calories. I had to uber some sustenance a few times. But there’s plenty nearby. The Seed cafe got me through a lot. No Diet Coke on the property for the record. Otherwise everything bypassed any expectations.

The property is beautiful. The classes are excellent the way the instructors explain the purpose of the class and you get take this home with you. I had a deep inner connection. The staff went way beyond my expectations they made sure you had the best experience. I recommended to all my friends. Carefree is beautiful if you do leave the resort. Restaurants are great and the locals are very friendly.
