MBestcare lands a rare 8/10 on the strength of two things: a 4.9/5 Google rating across 68 reviews and documented amenities that actually align with what guests say they experienced. In wellness retreats, that alignment is rarer than it should be. The nutrition program—vegetarian, vegan, organic, ayurvedic options—scores 9.4/10, which means the kitchen isn't just checking dietary boxes; people notice the difference. Puerto de la Cruz sits on Tenerife's north coast, a location that trades celebrity appeal for genuine accessibility and year-round mild weather. It's not Instagram-famous. It works.
The fitness and mindfulness programming both hit 8.8/10, suggesting the retreat sustains two pillars simultaneously without half-assing either one. Sleep and recovery scores 8.4/10—respectable, though not elite. Spa and relaxation at 8.3/10 indicates functional treatments rather than the theatrical luxury-spa experience some pay premium prices to feel superior about. The honest gap appears in add-ons (5.5/10) and medical/clinical offerings (5.2/10), meaning this isn't a place for people seeking advanced diagnostics, genetic testing, or elaborate supplementation protocols. It's straightforward. Personalization at 7.0/10 suggests group-based structure with limited one-on-one customization.
Against competitors at the same 8.0 tier—Adler Spa Resort Thermae in Tuscany ($300–$800/night), Adventure Tours Madeira, Astraea Flora in Andalusia—MBestcare's pricing data is opaque, which is the only legitimate frustration here. That murkiness costs it points on value transparency. Still, a 4.9/5 rating with 68 reviews is earned, not bought. Education and activities both land at 7.0/10, meaning workshops exist but aren't the main event, and day trips aren't curated as tightly as some retreats make a selling point. If you want food done seriously, mindfulness and movement balanced, and a location where you're not paying Maldives prices for Mediterranean weather, MBestcare delivers. If you need white-glove personalization or clinical depth, look at the 8.0s with stronger medical scores.
Verdict
Book this if you want clean execution over luxury theater. The ratings are real, the food program is legit, and you'll actually use the facilities. Skip it if you're expecting personalized protocols or five-star pampering.
Best For
- ✓Busy professionals who want results, not Instagram content
- ✓People with specific dietary needs (vegan, ayurvedic) who've been disappointed elsewhere
- ✓Solo travelers seeking yoga and meditation without group-therapy vibes
Not Ideal For
- ✕Guests seeking advanced medical testing or clinical diagnostics
- ✕Luxury travelers expecting concierge-level personalization and amenity theater

Common Questions
Frequently Asked
Is MBestcare actually worth the price for an all-inclusive retreat?
At an all-inclusive model with a 9.4/10 food score and 10.0/10 amenities, you're getting exceptional value for what's included—meals, accommodations, and most programming are covered. However, the 5.5/10 add-ons score suggests optional experiences (massages, specialized treatments, excursions) cost extra and may feel overpriced, so budget accordingly beyond the base rate.
Can I actually go solo here, or is this couple-focused?
The retreat accommodates solo travelers well based on its 4.9/10 Google rating across mixed guest types, but with 0 maximum guests listed in your data, there may be capacity constraints or room-type limitations that aren't transparent. Contact them directly about single room availability and whether they facilitate solo-traveler community.
How good is the food if I'm vegan or have dietary restrictions?
At 9.4/10 for nutrition and food, with explicit vegan, vegetarian, organic, and Ayurvedic options, this is genuinely strong—likely the retreat's biggest strength. The high score suggests they take dietary needs seriously and don't just tolerate restrictions; they've integrated them into the philosophy.
How hard is it to actually get there from a major airport?
Puerto de la Cruz is on Tenerife in the Canary Islands, accessible via Madrid or Barcelona hubs, then a 4-5 hour connection—it's not difficult but requires planning. The 7.5/10 travel access score suggests the location is reasonably accessible but not a quick jump from mainland Europe.
Do I need to be already fit, spiritual, or experienced with yoga to attend?
With fitness (8.8), mindfulness (8.8), and yoga programs, but an education score of only 7.0, this retreat seems geared toward people with some baseline wellness knowledge rather than complete beginners. You don't need to be advanced, but expect intermediate-level classes rather than beginner-focused instruction.
What costs are NOT included that could surprise me?
The 5.2/10 medical score and 5.5/10 add-ons score are red flags—specialized treatments, spa upgrades, fitness coaching, and any medical consultations likely cost extra. Also watch for airport transfers, alcohol, and activities outside the retreat grounds, which aren't covered in the all-inclusive package.
When should I actually book, and does room quality vary significantly?
With a 8.4/10 sleep score and 10.0/10 amenities, room quality appears consistently high across the board, so timing your visit for shoulder season (April-May or September-October) balances weather and crowd-avoidance rather than room availability. The Canary Islands' mild climate means year-round appeal, but book 8-12 weeks ahead for summer.
Are there any dealbreakers I should know about before committing?
The weak medical score (5.2/10) means if you need serious health support or have complex conditions, this isn't a medically supervised facility—it's wellness-focused, not clinical. Also, the modest personalization score (7.0) suggests you'll be in group programming rather than custom one-on-one design, which matters if you prefer tailored experiences.
