Colon Cleansing & Detox Retreat in Marbella, Spain Marbella, Malaga, Spain Review

Overall Rating

Excellent detoxification and colon cleansing programs
Located in Europe in a great environment
Excellent additional Alternative therapies
We enjoyed the Helpful staff and very friendly therapists.

A bit far from shopping facilities and no Internet access.

Last September 2005, my friend Mariska and I wanted to attend a detox / colon cleansing program again. We did colon cleansing before in Thailand but we did not want to travel too far and decided to stay in Europe. Another reason to do this detox program was that Linda was diagnosed with Candida and a colon cleansing or detoxification program is very helpful to get rid of it. The protocol incorporates lifestyle change, and implements healthy diet, body cleansing, exercises and different natural therapies. "Colon cleanse" or "Bowel Cleanse" or "Intestinal Cleanse" or "Intestinal Therapy" are terms referring to a procedure (or a therapy) which has as its main goal having a clean bowel. Colon cleansing is a procedure which may include the use of many different supplements, alternative or natural therapies and few days of FASTING. A good intestinal cleanse will also include a parasite cleanse. On the Internet we found a colon cleansing and detox retreat in Marbella (near Malaga), Spain. The website looked beautiful and was full of interesting and useful information. We decided to make a reservation for June but this was not possible because the detox centre was fully booked till half September so we made a reservation for September. We went for a 1 week program but we did regret that we did not do a 2 week cleansing program. The accommodation was really nice and very clean but there was no possibility to go shopping because this was to far away. It was good that the retreat organised shopping trips to Marbella or any place we would like to go to. Including in our program price was to enjoy the wide range of excellent facilities provided at the leisure and sports club on their grounds; three paddle tennis and tennis courts, gymnasium, sauna, steam room, Jacuzzi, and restaurant. The clubhouse was approximately 500 meters away and the staff was very helpful to offer a drive to the clubhouse or to pick us up. Optional will be the use of a 9-hold par course and putting green for an additional fee to pay in the clubhouse. The program was excellent and although we did not fancy the detox shakes we did very well. We did not suffer so much from the side effects and during the program we lost a few (8) pounds and even after the program we felt so rejuvenated, energetic and full of happiness that we are sure we will go back again soon. We also enjoyed the sun, the pools, the natural therapies and massage. The treatments are not included in the program price. We hope that this review was useful for you!

  The Saint once suggested that a diet of boiled grass and prune juice was a very cheap and effective colon cleanser!
  
  I wouldn't know - we've got certain politicians over here who are even more adept at the old Montezuma's revenge.
