Family Retreat Oasis - Somerset
I don't post negative reviews lightly but I wanted to share my recent experience with Family Retreat Oasis in order to warn others about this Company and it's director - Evija (Eviia) Poriete and to prevent anyone else from falling victim to this Company too. In October 2024 I booked and paid in full (in 3 equal monthly instalments) for a family retreat that was due to take place in Somerset in August 2025. In July, a few weeks before the retreat was due to take place out of the blue I received an email from Evija saying that the retreat had been cancelled due to personal reasons. Whilst this was very disappointing and challenging to book something else because it was peak holiday season, I could have understood. The issue was this - there was no commitment and no date given for refunding me the money that I had paid. Instead, I was met with excuses about why the money could not be refunded straight away. This has been a horrible experience - I was promised (and had paid for) a heavenly, relaxing retreat, instead I have had weeks of stress and anxiety and a fight on my hands to try and get my money back. If I could have given 0 stars I would have.
