I traveled to India alone for the first time and that was no problem at all with SpaDreams Reisen and the Nalanda Beach Resort. Everything went very smoothly, including the transfers. Yoga was offered twice a day for 90 minutes in the beautiful shalas at the resort, and you could book additional individual classes if you wanted. The level of the teachers is quite high, but there were always alternatives for all skill levels. I booked Ayurveda treatments, which were also good, but I would have liked better advice beforehand. For example, I didn't know that you should rest after an Ayurveda treatment and not jump into the sea or do yoga. But well, I did my own research and adjusted my daily rhythm accordingly. The location of the resort is quite nice, right by the sea, depending on which room you book. I was right by the sea, the rooms were basic but were cleaned quickly and thoroughly on request. I felt very comfortable there. Everyone was very helpful and friendly with any questions. Now that I know what you pay for a cab to the airport (about 8 - 10 euros), I wouldn't book the transfer again through SpaDreams Reisen, which cost me 90 euros per transfer. Now I am smarter. I also look past the fact that one of the hotel's shareholders was in the cab with me, who I basically paid for the trip. It would have been fine if I had been asked, I certainly wouldn't have said no. I found the Chia Bar very nice - located right by the sea - and the food from the buffet and à la carte was great. All in all, a very nice location that I would visit again. Perhaps not again with an Ayurvedic focus, but rather for yoga.
