Miraval Berkshires Resort & Spa

This was my first time at Miraval Berkshires. The weather was not the best, and I am a big believer in weather making or breaking an experience. That being said, I still found comfort in the resort itself. The horse meditation and the way of the wheel were two classes I attended that were outside (we took a shuttle) and got to see some of the surroundings. (I highly recommend both classes, by the way!) It was misty, if a bit rainy, and a tad cold on the last day, but my group made the most out of it! We were there to celebrate a birthday and we had an amazing, soul-fun time all together. I will not soon forget my trip, mostly because it allowed me to center myself again, and get back to basics. I had a facial and a massage, and took some really nice classes such as Cardio Drumming (a must!), slow flow, power flow, facing your fears, a match you color class, Tibetan Tones, in addition to the Equine meditation and the Way of the Wheel. This left time for a lot of down time as well! Miraval will always have a special place in my heart.

For the money you spend, not worth it. Everything was hooked up several weeks beforehand. I would feel differently if I actually got to do the things I wanted to do. They are woefully understaffed in every area, and the price is anything but discount.

My overall stay at Miraval Berkshires was just amazing😄 Where do I begin? Kelly Ford was my experience planner. She is knowledgeable, very helpful and kind. She helped me to prepare for the perfect experience at Miraval Berkshires😀 From the moment I was greeted by Trevor to the moment I departed. I felt well cared for, recognized, and valued. I am disabled due to Multiple Sclerosis and cannot walk so I use a disability scooter. I did have some issues with your disability accommodations and I discussed them intensely with your very kind and empathic Emma Barishman. Now she is a keeper for sure! Professional, warm, kind, knowledge. If there were more people like her in this world, I can guarantee you the world would be a much nicer place. Harvest Moon was excellent and delicious! And the staff was amazing. In particular Kristen was a standout! She couldn’t have been nicer and more accommodating! She went out of her way to make sure my needs were met. Now the classes. I loved my Private Clairvoyant Reading with Jenna Reid, who was right on with her clairvoyance. She too was also kind and so helpful. I had private sessions too with Dr. Jan Seward who read my tarot cards and I also a private session for my horoscope. I also took 2 of her group classes! She combined her knowledge of the Tarot, Astrology and Clinical psychology. She is brilliant and is very well-related also. I would recommend her highly. I also had a private session with Dayla Robinson and took her brilliant class called Vibrational Sound Chamber. Tibetan Singing bowls. Brilliant! I am already putting what I learned into practice. It was all wonderful! My only recommendations would be: More music classes or even a jazz performance in a central location would be a welcome addition. After all, everything is better with music. And since I went alone, I would love there to be a social gathering, whether it be a meet and greet or cocktail hour; just something to get to know other guests. Other than that, it was a perfect retreat that I plan to make annually. Best, Valerie Lenes

Wonderful stay, far exceeded expectations. If you want to get away from it all and relax, this is the place. Great spa, wonderful activities, comfortable rooms. I have been to many similar places and this one was one of the very best . We will return.

This was a great place to stay across the board - the food was delicious, with very clear labeling for ingredients and plenty of variety and options for allergies and sensitivities. The flexibility of the programming on offer was an excellent highlight as well - it was wonderful to be able to fill a day with a mix of hiking, fitness classes, and educational workshops and wind down with a massage in the spa. I would make special note of how wonderful the no phones policy is - I spent 3 days there and it felt like a week long getaway purely from the lack of distraction. It also seemed to create a much more relaxing environment overall - the background anxiety felt in day to day life decreased a shocking amount purely by nature of not constantly checking in with my phone or seeing others around me doing the same.
