We just returned from Little Corn Island where we spent a dream vacation at Yemaya with family and friends. The big effort to get to Little Corn Island is well worth it - and made much simpler with the VIP package that Yemaya offers. I'd strongly recommend considering that option.

What a fantastic place with unparalleled service. Our group of 16 stayed in 5 cabanas, which are located right on the beach. The folks at Yemaya have considered every detail to make this a relaxing and easy vacation spot. The cabanas were gorgeous, comfortable and well appointed (including a mini fridge and outside spigot to wash sand from your feet).

In a week's time, none of us wished there were more to do. Yemaya provided paddleboards, kayaks and snorkel gear for guests' use. There are many lounging hammocks on the beach. The lodge is stocked with games and a lending library. A daily excursion is always posted, in which you can participate free of charge including dance lessons, hikes and snorkel trips on a sailboat. The daily yoga and meditation classes in the open air accommodated everyone's needs from beginner to advanced.

We walked the 30 minute walk to the other side of the island on a daily basis, which was fascinating and fun. We arranged scuba certification and fishing excursions with the help of the folks at Yemaya.

A review of Yemaya isn't complete without discussion of the fabulous and fresh food. Wow! We ate so well. The breakfasts are complimentary and fantastic. The lunches and dinners feature seafood, vegetarian fare as well as meat. We LOVED the food at Yemaya and Michael, the cook, made certain to accommodate special dietary needs. I'm still dreaming of the dinner he cooked for us with the fish we caught on the fishing trip - out of this world!

The entire staff at Yemaya made the experience special. ,Whether we needed a boat ride, suggestions of things to do, a phone call to the other side of the island, a smoothie made in a certain way, coffee served earlier than posted - our queries were addressed quickly and with a smile. Our rooms were kept impeccable by a staff who seemed to slip in and out - unnoticed. The wait staff, the yoga instructors, the front desk staff, the bartenders, the boat drivers - everyone made this experience one of the best vacations we've ever taken.
