The staff are amazing. The property is clean and well maintained. The Spa was great. I wasn’t able to eat at the onsite restaurants but that’s not on them. As my husband wanted to adventure off property.

We really enjoyed our stay overall, especially the spa—it was truly the highlight of the resort. The treatments were excellent and made the experience feel relaxing and worthwhile. The food was also very good, and we had some nice meals during our time there.

The property itself feels a bit older, though it’s clear it has been refreshed in some areas. It’s a smaller resort with just one main restaurant and a café, which keeps things simple but a bit limited. Service was decent, though not especially standout.

A couple things to be aware of: the pool wasn’t as clean as we would have hoped, and the rooms are fairly basic. Also, if you’re sensitive to noise, I would recommend requesting a room away from the main entrances, as the doors opening and closing can be quite loud.

Overall, it’s a nice, low-key place to unwind, with a spa that really makes it worth the visit.

From the moment I arrived, this property exceeded every expectation. The space was absolutely immaculate—clean, stylish, and thoughtfully designed to make you feel right at home. Every detail, from the comfortable furnishings to the well-equipped amenities, showed a clear level of care and pride from the host.

The atmosphere was peaceful and inviting, making it the perfect place to relax and unwind. Whether you’re visiting for business or leisure, this property offers the ideal balance of comfort and convenience. The location was also a huge plus—everything I needed was easily accessible.

What truly stood out, though, was the hospitality. Communication was seamless, and the host went above and beyond to ensure my stay was smooth and enjoyable.

I would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a top-tier experience. I’ll definitely be returning—this place sets the standard for what a great stay should be.

The room was not updated, not decorated at all, I would not consider this a “luxury” spot for the price. While I went for my birthday, other people staying there were also celebrating their birthdays and received a free dessert while I didn’t get anything till I mentioned it to staff. I also wasn’t given an option for a meal plan like others were.

The property was overpriced, had to call to request housekeeping after our room wasn’t cleaned on the second day. Housekeeper came with a big attitude. Limited menu choices at two dining options on site. During lunch with 3 friends on our last day, restaurant server kept coming to the table and interrupting our conversation - obviously we didn’t need anything. $67.76 “experience” fee charged per day, even if you don’t take any classes. Few are good, some are very corny. Spa is very expensive and most certainly not the best spa experience I’ve had. Finally, they allowed one of my friends to add herself to my room, didn’t take her credit card, so little did I know I had to pay for all of her extras and classes that were charged to the room - which Civana never got my authorization for in advance. Will not return to this resort. Did not end my trip feeling relaxed or reset. Left very annoyed by the waste of money.

I loved the spa & the amenities. The staff there were very attentive & friendly. My message was amazing, Thanks Teri! As before, I love the aesthetic of the room, classes & property. The only issue was I wanted a direct sunlight room. I called & was told I would get a call back about that & didn't. I knew I wouldn’t in the back of my mind & went on to enjoy my stay. The waitress at the bar at Terras seemed a bit annoyed Saturday night. Me & 2 other ladies sat down to eat & drink. I went to the restroom, not sure what happened as I was gone, but I came back to some intense uncomfortable energy. The attitude we were getting was different from the night before. I hope the attitude the 3 of us ladies felt, doesn’t happen to anyone else in a wellness environment. First time any of this has ever happened staying here or going to Terras. Overall, I made the best out of my time & trip to the resort. I think the timing may play a role in when to go.

Loved the classes and that the pools are accessible any time of day. The spa is beautiful and relaxing. The room was great. Cocktails and dinner are great, but don't order dinner before you finish your appetizer or you will get them at the same time. Also, skip the farmers breakfast sandwich; it was barely edible so dry. I definitely got the peace I was needing, just going out for breakfast and dinner next time!

I recently stayed at the Civana Wellness Resort for my first solo trip as an African-American woman, and it was absolutely perfect. This was the best place to relax, restore, and refresh. I left feeling so healed and renewed.

The resort grounds are beautiful, everything was spotless, and my room was very spacious. I also felt completely safe the entire time, which made the experience even more enjoyable. The atmosphere was calm and welcoming, and every detail was well taken care of.

I had such an amazing time here and would highly recommend Civana Wellness Resort to anyone looking for a peaceful, rejuvenating getaway.

I very much enjoyed my stay at Civana!
The classes were all super well organized, all of the instructors were very knowledgable and made everyone feel welcomed. The staff was very courteous and professional. The two closest towns were quaint, safe, and had very zen vibes to go along with Civana's same atmosphere. The spa was great, the massage was AMAZING and love that with this service you get to enjoy the amenities of the spa all day.
Only thing I would like to see would be more food options, dinner was a bit pricey but wonderful tasty healthy food. I would highly recommend Civana for anyone looking to re-charge and re-connect with your best self!

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.

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.

Overall Civana is lovely but it falls short in a few areas. Front desk needs more staff. They are the point of contact for many things and often only one person manned the front leading to long waits.
Food is a bit hit or miss.
My initial room smelled like a fart but they were able to move me.
Every issue I brought up was addressed so kudos for that.

Went here for a girls weekend, paid $500/night because of all of the classes that were included. They only let you reserve 2 classes prior to arrival, and once you get there most of the classes are full and you can’t add more. Lots of the classes you also have to pay extra for. The pool was filthy, it was obvious nobody was cleaning it regularly. The same bandaids and dead bugs were floating around in it over the 3 days we stayed there. Dirty carpets with stains. Candlelight yoga class didn’t have any candles. Staff was hit or miss. Some of them were exceptional and very kind, others were rude. Would not stay here again at this price point, definitely not worth the money.
