We have limited space available for this once in a lifetime experience. We will only be accepting 10 reservations for this five-night six-day retreat, and they will go fast! Our shared room package is perfect for you and your best girlfriend or family member. You will be booked together in a beautiful apartment style room at the Grand Hyatt Resort with two queen beds. If you are traveling solo and don't mind a shared room for a cheaper rate, that is not a problem. We are happy to pair you up with another fantastic woman with shared interests and inspiration for joining our retreat. There will be plenty of time beforehand for you to connect via social media and get to know your roommate before November. The women who will be joining us are going to be nothing short of amazing, so take the risk! You might walk away with a new lifelong friend.

katie and bradfor willcox

Katie and Bradford Willcox visited Playa Del Carmen for the first time in 2006 and fell in love with the energy of this charming Mexican city. Over the past decade, Katie and Bradford have been living in Playa Del Carmen for several months per year and considered it to be their home. As certified open water and cave scuba divers, Katie and Bradford have explored the underworld of the cenote cave and caverns and well as the open waters of the Caribbean sea.  They have explored all the beautiful Mayan ruins in the Yucatan and found climbing Coba to be the most energetic and extraordinary experience of them all. Katie and Bradford will guide you to some of their favorite local beaches, restaurants, and shops that you won't want to miss. Using their relationships within the city of Playa Del Carmen, Katie and Bradford can guarantee you will have an experience to remember.
