Sing Eat Retreat Reviews 105

Wow! What an amazing experience from start to finish - hosted by the multi-talented Cat, her seamless organisation and wicked sense of humour - an absolute star! Beautiful villa, delicious food and 3 extraordinary talented singing tutors with endless patience: Steve, CJ and Tasha. 16 strangers became a really tight-knit and harmonious group of friends - a week I will never forget!

The villa is stunning and the perfect setting for the Retreat.
The food is fabulous and plentiful. The drinks are plentiful too!

What made it so amazing though, was the team looking after us.

Cat - without a doubt, the best host you could hope for! Working so hard day and night to make everything run smoothly. From arriving to leaving, we were really well looked after. Nothing was too much trouble. Cat is definitely the jewel in Sing Eat Retreat's crown. So much fun and a great backing dancer at the open mic nights!

Steve Moss - insanely talented, a brilliant Musical Director and a genuinely lovely person. With infinite patience, a great sense of humour and lots of support and kindness, he managed to get 16 strangers singing together in harmony. Also great company at the after dinner drinks.

CJ Johnson - shared her immense knowledge and skills with passion, generosity and infectious enthusiasm, giving us all the tools to be better singers and performers. She gave so much support, positivity (and hugs when needed), all the way through the Retreat.

Tasha Sheridan - gave an amazing masterclass and one-to-one tuition. I learned so much from her in a short space of time. She shared everything with the same passion, generosity and infectious enthusiasm as CJ and was super supportive with everyone.

It was such a privilege to have the opportunity to learn from Steve, CJ and Tasha at the Retreat, and to be hosted by Cat.

A fabulous week - strangers when we arrived, but a group of friends by the end!

We had a wonderful week. Sing Eat Retreat are a very professional and efficient team. Also they are friendly and kind, nothing is too much trouble and they really make sure the guests are really well looked after. Cat was in charge and the best host you could imagine.

Wow. Just wow. I'm not sure if I can adequately describe what an amazing life changing experience my week at Les Mis seateatretreat was. Zane, Cat and the team have created something truly magical. Meeting with like minded people at the airport, most of us solo travellers, settled my nerves immediately and by the time we got on the bus we were all already firm friends. The villa is stunning and so peaceful, a true Nirvana. I felt closeted in it's loving embrace all week - so much so that I didnt even want to leave to visit Tarifa when we had the chance. The industry professionals, Liegh, CJ and Katy gave so generously of themselves. They shared their knowledge and passion with humor, kindness and support; giving us all a great toolkit to use in our performances. I could not quite believe that we were getting acces to these amazing people. For the first time ever I left work at home and did not think of it once until I got back (a minor miracle for me). Karaoke every evening was the icing on the cake and by the end of the week everyone was joining in with a new found confidence and joy. I only have one complaint- I miss everyone so much!! Every single person was loving and supportive throughout and by the end we had made lifelong friends. Cannot wait to go again. Oh and not forgetting Charlie - a wonderful bonus. One last thing - If you are lucky enough to go you need to warn your friends that you'll be singing the praises of singeatretreat for hours when you get back if they ask how it went!

This is my second SER and it was just as great the second time around. Of 23 of us lots have already jumped on to review our week and I won’t make this review long by saying it all again; they speak truely.
I will add that Zane told me 60% of us were repeat bookings, by my maths that is 13 or 14 of us.
And, I have already booked my next week and know that I will know at least 3 of the others booked on from my 2 SER so far, I can’t wait to return.

This experience could be a life changer. 23 people met for the first time on 17th May and 6 days later were able to perform those loved songs from Les Mis. Wonderful surroundings, amazing food and accommodation and wonderful tutors from the West End. The results were a joyous week of singing and long lasting friendships.

Wow!! What an epic week we have all just had singing Les Mis at SingEatRetreat in Tarifa, Spain.
The Villa is breathtaking and every element of the week was arranged to perfection by the highly caring team, led by Zane and Cat. They are genuinely interested in ensuring complete happiness for everyone.
This included superb, fresh gourmet food for breakfast, lunch and dinner, along with endless snacks available to keep us energised for the all the fun.
The musical experience is mind blowing. Our awesome tutors Leigh, Katy and CJ gave endlessly of themselves. It will take me many months to unpack all the of the teaching we have received.
I believe we will all use our newly acquired skills for the rest of singing lives, truly phenomenal coaching was given by the most generous and caring (And fun) industry professionals that one could ever hope to meet.
We had 23 of the most wonderful people singing for this week and what a bunch!! Oh my lord we have laughed from the moment we arrived to the moment we left. The stories, the songs, the giggles, the caring and sharing were far beyond what I could have imagined. Thank you all ❤️
A truly awesome experience, if you’re anyway interested in trying one of these experiences, just do it.
You definitely will not regret it 😎☀️🎶

Sing: At the Les Miserables retreat we were anything but miserable! We were given a unique opportunity to rehearse and perform some of the hit songs from the show. Not only that, but we did so under the tutelage of the immensely talented Leigh, CJ and Katy, and were awed by their professionalism and generosity of spirit. These West End pros created such a safe secure place for all of us to develop our voices. While they aimed for us to put on a good show, they made it clear that the journey was far more important than the destination. On that journey, they brought me further than I ever thought possible.
Eat: The food was delicious, healthy and plentiful. It was cooked daily on site by Sara and Alex. We had open access to the kitchen for making teas and coffees, and fruit, biscuits and cake were thoughtfully laid out for us for snacking. Wines and beer were provided in the evening and there was zero stinginess about it!!
Retreat: While this was a singing holiday, the retreat aspect of it completed the perfect holiday. Nestled in the hills of Andalusia, this secluded villa was comfortable, spacious and afforded breathtaking views of Africa. Vocal warm ups happened outside and we were always accompanied by birdsong. The pool/ jacuzzi area was so beautiful and there were plenty of sun loungers to go round. We were waited on hand and foot. The sensational Cat organised our schedules to perfection, and served us at table in the evenings. She also provided a bus service for those of us staying in the hotel. She was our go to person. I was so sorry to leave but left feeling physically and spiritually rejuvenated. Thank you Zane and Cat for such a special time. I can’t wait to come back!

My second sing eat retreat Les Miserable and the “wow “factor still remains.
Well organised by Zane &Cat who host your stay to perfection. The villia takes your breath away luxurious.
Now the singing , coached by three industry professionals with their wealth of knowledge and expertise , They all Believed in each and everyone off us to be a better version of ourselves at the end of the week . How their dedication helped to improve our singing and knowledge in how to train your voice is incredible .
The end of the week show from the most inspiring show Les miserable was phenomenal.
You will never go hungry the food is cooked onsite and omg it really is Al a carte at its finest , plenty of snacks inbetween .
We all arrived as strangers but left with great friendships made .
Now I can’t wait to book again for my next return to this fabulous retreat .

This was truly one of the most fun things I’ve done. It’s well organised, food is delicious and plentiful and Huerta Belinda is beautiful, spacious and comfortable. However, the highlight is the tuition by West End directors, choreographers, vocal coaches and stars. Even though im not the greatest singer, it gave me so much confidence and enjoyment. I loved it. It’s also a great way to make new friends. Would love to do the Mamma Mia or Sound of Music one next. Thanks Cat and Zane for being incredible hosts too.
All the best, Tracey

Simply the best week. Fantastic teaching, great company, so well organised and friendly. I was made to feel looked after and valued. Particularly appreciated as a first time solo holiday, and I had never done anything like this before. Completely out of my comfort zone however by the end of the week it felt like I had found my tribe and friends for life.
Since coming home people have remarked on how it has given me back my confidence, and helped me find me voice.
If I could, I would come back again and again!

Simply the best!
Best place, best tutors, best management, best food, best fun, best experience. Had two singing holidays so far with Sing Eat Retreat, both excellent in every way. Two more booked, more to come. Can't wait- I am hooked!

Excellent week enjoying singing with new people and learning new techniques. Fantastic venue with views of Africa. Beautiful food and lots of fun in the evening. Enjoyed it so much returning again in September. Mentors are the best. Zane and Cat fabulous and superb Chefs in the kitchen. Thank you for giving me this opportunity.

What a totally incredible and rewarding experience it has been to spend a week at Sing Eat Retreat! Besides meeting lovely fellow singers, I learned so much about my voice and what is needed to train it further. Good food, fantastic ambiance and a highly professional team. Thanks everyone 🙏

Great experience! I loved the food and the villa! Fantastic! The singing and dancing were beautiful and inspiring. There were no negatives!

This was one of the best things I have ever done in my life. What an amazing week! It was my first solo holiday and I was a little apprehensive but it was such a great group of people and the way we gelled was fantastic..... I know I have made friends for life. The villa was stunning, the food was beautiful and Cat and Zane could not have been better hosts in any way. The tutors Steve, Zev and Maria were literally some of the best in the industry and to think we were being coached and conducted by professionals of such high calibre was incredible. Luke, a West End lead, delivered a superb masterclass and was always ready to share anecdotes and tips. Days were enjoyably busy with vocal tech, performance, mentor groups, 1-1 coaching and ensemble sessions, then the evenings were great - beautiful meals, wine and fabulous fun open mic nights where both guests and coaches let their hair down. We also all loved the concert on the final night when we had the chance to perform our songs at the studio in the villa. I really cannot recommend this experience highly enough and cannot wait to return.

This was the most fantastic week with fantastic people. For the moment you arrive Cat and Zane will do everything they can to make it a home from home. The tutors (Steve, Zev, Mari and Luke)were so giving of their time and expertise. A truly magical and rewarding experience and made truly lasting friendships for life . Will definitely be returning.

If I could , I would give 10 ⭐️
My second retreat in this wonderful venue with 100% professional tutors from the musical business, delicious food and the amazing hosts Zane and Cat! I am very thankful for this experience!
Already looking forward to the next one!

Yes it really is that fabulous. Great value for money. Singing is such a joy and we danced and sung karaoke in the evenings. Zev was brilliant, I trusted all that he said on vocal technique and how to improve. He is obsessed with vocal technique, has read many related sciences and hence explains the purpose of each exercise. His knowledge is grounded in the experience of applying this in practice in teaching many stars and regular guys and women. Steve guided us in a very positive and lively way - his harshest feedback was delivered in a way that made us laugh hence was easy to take on board. Maria was encouraging and brought out of me a wonderful performance. Luke drew out brilliant performances during his master class.

This has been the most incredible Singing Retreat I’ve attended—and I’ve been coming for six times in a row! I absolutely love the community here. The singing tutors are truly top-notch, and the food is amazing. It feels like a place I could call home. I highly recommend it to anyone seeking a similar experience.
