Our Take
Last updated
April 2026
Onyx Retreats sits at a solid 7.9—the same tier as comparable offerings across Asia, Europe, and South America. That's not accidental. The property excels where it counts: amenities and facilities hit a perfect 10, reputation sits at 4.9/5 across 78 reviews, and nutrition scores 9.4 with vegetarian, vegan, organic, and Ayurvedic options. If food quality and physical infrastructure matter to you, this place delivers. The fitness programming (8.8) and sleep/recovery setup (8.4) suggest a retreat that takes the fundamentals seriously rather than leading with philosophy.
Where Onyx stumbles reveals what's missing. Education and workshops lag at 7.0—meaning structured learning feels lighter than at comparable retreats offering yoga teacher trainings or deep clinical protocols. Personalization scores the same (7.0), which matters if you're traveling solo or need custom programming. Add-ons sit at 5.5, suggesting limited flexibility to extend stays or layer services. Medical and clinical support registers at just 5.2, a real constraint if you're doing plant medicine work or managing health conditions seriously. For context, that's notably lower than dedicated clinical retreats or structured psilocybin programs.
The bigger friction point: location data is sparse (scored as "Other"), and pricing shows $0–$0/night, which means the property either isn't transparent about costs or the data collection failed. That's a gap worth filling before booking. The competitors at 7.9 in Thailand, India, Colombia, and the UK all price transparently ($76–$213/night) and market clearly. You're looking at a retreat with strong operational bones—excellent facilities, solid reputation, good food—but insufficient transparency to make a confident financial decision. That's a question mark, not a disqualifier.
Verdict
Strong execution on basics and reputation, but gaps in clinical depth, personalization, and pricing transparency. Book if you want reliable infrastructure and quality nutrition; look elsewhere if you need deep medical supervision or structured educational programs.

Common Questions
Frequently Asked
Is Onyx Retreats actually worth the price?
At $0-$0/night all-inclusive, the value proposition depends on what you're getting—our data shows exceptional scores in amenities (10.0), nutrition (9.4), and fitness (8.8), but the Medical score is only 5.2, so if you need clinical oversight, you're paying for yoga and spa rather than healthcare. For a pure wellness experience with top-tier food and facilities, it tracks as good value; for medical-grade plant medicine work, budget accordingly elsewhere.
Can I actually go solo, or is this a couples retreat?
There's no couples requirement in the data, but with a maximum guest capacity of 0 (which appears to be a data error), we can't confirm current solo-friendly logistics. I'd recommend contacting them directly about solo accommodation and whether you'll have community connection or privacy—the 7.0 personalization score suggests they're not heavily customizing single-guest experiences.
What's the food actually like, and will I be hungry?
The 9.4 nutrition score and strong vegetarian/vegan/ayurvedic programming indicate the food is thoughtfully designed—not just rabbit food. That said, all-inclusive meals are planned for you with no customization mentioned, so if you have specific cravings or dietary quirks beyond the listed specialties, you might feel limited. Ayurvedic meals are typically lighter and early-evening focused, which some people love and others find insufficient.
How hard is it actually to get there?
With a travel access score of only 6.0 (the lowest non-medical category), expect logistics friction—the retreat location data is incomplete, but this score suggests it's not near a major airport or easily accessible by public transport. Budget extra travel time and possibly higher transportation costs than you'd expect; this isn't a weekend drive-away situation.
Do I need to be already fit, spiritual, or experienced with plant medicine?
The fitness score is 8.8, suggesting workouts are part of the experience but the retreat likely accommodates varied levels—no mention of prerequisites. For plant medicine, the medical score of only 5.2 is concerning; this isn't a clinical setting, so if you're new to plant medicine, confirm their screening process and support protocols are robust before booking.
What's not included that I should actually budget for?
Add-ons score only 5.5 (well below other categories), which typically means premium services, longer sessions, or specialized treatments carry additional costs—massage extensions, private instruction, or enhanced plant-medicine ceremonies likely cost extra. Travel access is weak (6.0), so factor in potentially expensive ground transportation to get there.
What's the best time of year to go, and does it matter?
The data doesn't specify seasonal variations, but with a sleep score of 8.4 and meditation/mindfulness focus, climate and light cycles will affect your experience—ask directly whether certain seasons offer better weather, fewer crowds, or different plant-medicine availability. The 1-night minimum suggests flexibility, so you could test the spring/fall sweet spot before committing to a longer stay.
What are the dealbreakers I should know about before booking?
Medical oversight is weak (5.2), so don't expect clinical-grade diagnostics or emergency medical infrastructure—this is wellness, not medicine. The low add-on score (5.5) and incomplete location data suggest limited flexibility once you arrive; go in knowing the itinerary is pretty fixed and customization may cost more. Finally, the education score of 7.0 means you're there to experience, not necessarily to leave with deep learning or certifications.
