Bardo is AMAZING! If you’re considering it, do!
Why?
It’s beautiful; a tranquil oasis with its own vibe! The resort looks exactly like the pictures . my massage with Gloria was relaxing, deep & dreamy. Suggest her & on the beach too.
Alex and Fernando are warm and welcoming when they greet you, there to help you every step of the way, incredibly resourceful & funny. They use the whatsup app for easy, fast communication regarding reservations and anything you need. The housekeeping team checks in with you too.
As a solo female I felt safe the entire time. On the property, in town, and on the beach.
Rent a scooter (not a car) if you want to easily get around. The city center is easily walkable. If I hand known for the beach, centers and other I’d definitely have rented a scooter vs a car/bike.
The food is amazing! Drinks too! The tuna tataki, while an app, makes a killer meals and is a flavor bomb.
Bardo has 2 sister properties you may visit if you wish. Which I did for yoga (which is included and people who up. So should you! Not to hard, not to light). Their Temazcal Ceremony is authentic, challenging and our spiritual guide/shaman is there to support you every step of the way.
I used google maps to maneuver through the city and along the beach. Even if you don’t have reception (I only did when connected to WiFi) it will still show you where you are and where your pins are to make it to where you want to go.
