Alexis L's Escape to Shape Review

By Alexis L, Miami, FL

I have been on an Escape to Shape before to Cartagena, Colombia and am looking forward to going again to Zihuatanejo, Mexico in October. Its an easy and rewarding way to travel. In Cartagena I was able to relax and enjoy the beautiful and fun city all while still losing 4 pounds. I didn't go to lose weight and was very surprised when I came back and had lost weight because I felt like I was eating large quantities. The food was so good and based on the results I guess it was really good for you. I got to stay in a huge multi-million dollar villa with pool, jacuzzi, sunbathing deck and massage area right in the center of the city. It was a great experience and am looking forward to doing it again.

Amanda N's Escape to Shape Review

By Amanda N, Chicago, IL

Escape to Shape is the definition of a real vacation. It’s a perfect way to escape from the routine and stresses of everyday life by also avoiding all the risks and drama of organizing your own vacation. I went with Escape to Shape to Cartagena, Colombia and Marrakesh, Morocco. I had never traveled to Colombia and Morocco and found this to be the best way travel to new exotic places without the headaches of organizing the trip yourself. The week long stays are very well prepared with excursions to the most interesting and fun locations in the area, cultural classes and an overall focus on fitness and health. I loved the two villas I got to stay in during my stays and I have to admit that if I had to organize the trips myself I never would’ve had such luxurious and comfortable accommodations. I probably would’ve ended up in some average hotel fending for myself in trying to figure out what to do and where to go. The most unexpected perk out of the entire trip besides the obvious R&R vacation time was that you have the opportunity of meeting many interesting people who share the same interests for traveling and wellness.

Cindy W's Escape to Shape Review

By Cindy W, ON, Canada

Who would’ve known that a health and fitness oriented vacation could be so enjoyable. I had an amazing time enjoying just about everything Escape to Shape and Cartagena have to offer. It truly was an unforgettable “Escape”. The combination of insightful and adventurous excursions mixed with fun and helpful classes, delicious but still healthy food and an attention to fitness and yoga truly make Escape to Shape the perfect recipe for a great vacation, not to mention that I lost 5 pounds during the week. The staff is friendly and helpful, the villa is beautiful and spacious offering a pool, hot tub and plenty of common areas to relax and enjoy the marvelous weather Cartagena has to offer. It was everything I could’ve possibly wanted from a vacation offering the right balance between rest and relaxation and exercise and excursions. If you are searching for a pressure free way to have an enjoyable and healthy vacation look no further. The owners truly have an understanding of what people are looking for in an “escape”. For a week you lose yourself in the beauty of Cartagena forgetting all about the outside world. Looking forward to joining Escape to Shape in other trips particularly Morocco in May and St. Petersburg in 2010.

Escape to Shape is fantastic. I taveled solo on their Marrakech trip and even though I didn't know anyone within hours I had new friends for life. The trip was full of satisfying yoga classes, wonderful meals and outstanding accommodations. I had such a wonderful time and even lost a few pounds in the process. I will never forget our hike through the Atlas mountains. It was one of the most beautiful places I have ever been. Also eating with the Berber family was very enjoyable. I will see you in Zihuatanejo!

A memorable experience. I went to Cartagena with Escape To Shape and wow!. The place we stayed in was spectacular and the staff and owners were very gracious. The highlights of my trip was the boat ride to the Rosario Islands and the dip in the volcano mud baths. The entire trip was just what I needed. I got to relax with some wonderful people and lost 4 pounds at the same time. Escape to Shape helped me jumpstart a healthy program of living while enjoying the wonderful city of Cartagena.
