Reviews for Carefree Resort & Conference Center

Civana is a truly magical, healing, and restorative sanctuary

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 1 day ago

From the moment we arrived, the positive energy of the staff made it clear that this resort is dedicated to genuine connection and wellness. What stands out the most is that the staff members are all so positive, welcoming, and genuinely happy to be there, which speaks volumes about the resort. Hunter gave us a beautifully warm orientation. Even with our last-minute booking, Dakota worked magic for our group for a same day reservation at the spa. Kyle followed up with a fantastic, thorough tour of the facility. The spa itself is an absolute must-visit, especially for the stunning sunset views. I treated myself to a refreshing, nontoxic manicure and pedicure from the lovely and warm hearted, Tisha, while my friends thoroughly enjoyed their own uniquely individual spa services. Shoutout to Jaydn, who always greeted us with a warm smile and kept the women’s locker room absolutely spotless. Our second day was packed with transformative classes and time exploring the beautiful Labyrinth. Aubrey’s breath work class was deeply moving, and we loved the yoga session and gratitude circle led by Courtney. Alex, the concierge, was also fantastic at getting us set up with bikes and helping us navigate where are classes were located. The food here is just as incredible as the wellness program. We had a great lunch at Seed, where every dish we ordered was delicious. For dinner, we headed to Terra, where Yolanda served us amazing food paired with wonderful vibes. Civana provides a remarkably safe, spiritual, and restorative atmosphere. Whether you go solo or make friends, there is truly something for everyone here. We had a fantastic experience and cannot wait to come back again!

Experience beyond my expectations

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 2 weeks ago

Civana is the place where your worries and stress go to die. From the moment my car pulled up to the doors every need was met far beyond my expectations. It is an absolute paradise with a beautiful pool, masterfully created gardens, quiet spaces, amazing food and an impressive spa. Along with the luxury the focus on wellness and overall health is supported by a full menu of classes and activities. It’s an experience of wellness done best.

A True Wellness Experience

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 2 months ago

CIVANA exceeded every expectation I had! From the moment I arrived, the location, amenities, and overall atmosphere created an immediate sense of peace. Every staff member I encountered was genuinely kind, welcoming, and accommodating, making me feel cared for throughout my stay. (It was also a nice gesture to receive the steel water bottle, along with other gifts). One of my favorite parts of the experience was the variety of wellness classes and activities. They weren’t just enjoyable, they were educational, intentional, and unlike anything I’ve experienced elsewhere. I left with practical ideas and inspiration to continue creating wellness rituals long after I returned home. I especially loved the beautiful walking/meditation labyrinth. Taking time to walk it quietly became one of the most grounding moments of my stay. The spa was exceptional! The treatment waiting area was incredibly peaceful and gave guests the opportunity to truly slow down before and after their services. My facial was rejuvenating, and my skin glowed beautifully even the next day. All of the spa amenities were excellent, but my favorite was the eucalyptus steam room! It opened my sinuses, gave me a great sweat, and after the session cold, iced towels were waiting for the guests. More than anything, CIVANA gave me exactly what I didn’t realize I needed: a chance to calm my nervous system, reconnect with myself, and simply breathe. It wasn’t just a getaway; it was a reset. I left feeling rested, inspired, and equipped to bring more intention into my everyday life. I can honestly say this has become a place I plan to visit every year, and I cannot wait to return!

Need some improvements to get to 5 /5

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 2 months ago

I really loved so many things about my stay here. I stayed 3 nights and left feeling centered and relaxed. The classes were really great as well as the atmosphere of the resort. The chakra balancing sound healing was my favorite class. Reasons I only gave it 3/5: My first full day there I was in and out of my room a few times changing in between classes, pool, etc. I had to call and ask for my room to be cleaned because it wasn't done by mid afternoon. There is construction going on by the spa(they mention it on the website) but you think they would offer something to make up for the fact that you could not relax at the spa pool with construction going on right next to it. My spa treatment was good, but definitely overpriced. Still I had a really relaxing and great time here and left thinking I would for sure return for another visit, but I'm now reconsidering. When I checked out I was told I would be emailed a receipt for everything charged to my room while I was there. I never received a receipt and have since sent 2 follow up emails requesting the receipt and I am continuing to be ignored, so not exactly a great way to treat your guests.

All About Wellness

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 2 months ago

This resort was absolutely beautiful. The service was 10/10 from start to finish. Every class and instructor was top-tier, and there were so many incredible classes to choose from that I had to remind myself to slow down, relax, and simply enjoy the space. The food was delicious, healthy, and thoughtfully prepared. The spa was stunning. I had a wonderful massage and thoroughly enjoyed the hot and cold circuit, as well as the pool. My room was clean, spacious, and comfortable. One of the best parts of my stay was the people. I met so many wonderful individuals, and the saying, "You come solo, but you're never alone," could not be more true. Seeing familiar faces in the classes each day made it easy to connect with others and build meaningful conversations. My favorite experiences were the dance class, mixology class, and numerology session, but every activity added something special to the experience. I highly recommend this resort and fully intend to return every year. It's the perfect place to slow down, be still, get quiet, and focus on yourself—your mind, your body, and your overall wellness.

“The grounds were beautiful, the rooms were ok, kind of like an updated holiday inn, I had to remind them of the strawberries and wine that was supposed to be in the room. The staff was friendly and the location of the hotel was great.”
