Treat you like family I was totally pampered by everyone on the staff! I don’t think I ever had a more relaxing vacation. AmaTiera is a unique place! I had two incredible massages -Vivienna knew my body better than I do! Also had a facial, felt so young and healthy after my week there. The chef Pablo prepared delicious meals-very talented. Jill and Bob treat you like family ! Must go back!

A Wonderful Place to Host a Yoga Retreat I hosted a small yoga retreat for a group of 9 at the beginning of the month and I was so impressed with everything Amatierra had to offer. As a retreat host, the pre-trip communication was timely and consistent and every effort was made to accommodate any questions or requests I had. Jill and Bob, the owners, welcomed my group at the front desk as if they were welcoming us into their home during the holidays with hugs, big smiles and cold welcome drinks for everyone. As soon as the group left the airport we were all taken care of by the staff including bags being brought to our rooms, questions being answered and dietary issues addressed. The staff is like a family and that is shown to all of the guests. It was an amazing place to host a retreat and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a venue to host a group!

Superb! I had the most incredible time at Ama Tierra. The location is perfect for day trips to the beach, local waterfalls, and the animal sanctuaries. There are miles of trails on the property to explore and see the gorgeous plants and wild life. Bird watching is a must! The yoga shala was a beautiful spot to practice yoga and the spa downstairs is wonderful! The best part is the people there Bob and Jill (the owners), Alan (the house manager), and all of the staff were so friendly and outgoing...and THE FOOD! Chef Pablo is just magnificently talented. Everything was fresh and delicious! Everything was beyond my expectations - I will definitely be back!

Excellent place I just got back from a one week Yoga Retreat (cyndy@yogawithcyndy.com) organized and executed by Cyndy, and have nothing but high praise for her, her yoga retreat, and the entire staff at Ama Tierra!!! The owners, Bob and Jill are amazing, talented, kind, and full of great stories! Alan, the front desk and organizational king, has a 24-7 smile and makes everything run smoothly! Pablo, the chef, and his team, provided us with incredibly fresh and always delicious meals! Viviana gave me perhaps the BEST massage ever! Bravo to all of them!!! The accommodations were clean, charming, and almost felt like two-rooms-in-one with a well positioned semi divider wall. My roommate and I were in the same room, but still felt like we had our own “space”! The yoga studio is fantastic, with a great local wood floor, plenty of space, and tree top vistas! The wellness options available are extensive! The owner Jill is a professional nutritionist and clinical herbalist. She offers energy and nutritional consultations! They were enlightening! It is a perfect set up for groups, and would also be great if traveling solo or with a partner! My sincere thanks and gratitude to all who made this experienced possible! Nina

Yoga Retreat with Charlotte & Grace 2026!! I attented Amatierra for a Yoga Retreat which was organized by some fellow yoga teachers so we had the whole facility! Amatierra has everything you need for an all inclusive Yoga Retreat. They organized everything from meals (which were fabulous), excursions, and offered spa services. You could venture out on excursions or just stay and relax by the pool. All of the staff were friendly and welcoming! Allan did an amazing job of organizing us from spa appointments to excursions as well as airport shuttles!! The resort is approximately 1 hour from San Jose but you feel quite remote and you can enjoy the sounds of the jungle! We were well taken care of at the Amatierra resort! Jill, Bob, Allan, Pablo and all the rest of the staff went above and beyond with music and dance! What a gem of a place to retreat to!

Amatierra is Amazing!!! I was so fortunate to visit Amatierra last week for a wellness/healing retreat and it was absolutely amazing. Bob, Jill, and the whole staff are incredible people and they go way beyond to ensure everyone is well taken care of. The rooms were great and I loved having the windows open while enjoying the elements. I can't wait to return!! - Sabrina

A one of a kind experience We hosted a 6 day women’s yoga and wellness retreat with AmaTierra, and we were absolutely blown away at the magic and beauty that this space holds. AmaTierra is one of a kind. What made our stay the most exceptional were the people. Jill, Bob, and the rest of the AmaTierra staff went above and beyond to accommodate us, making us feel right at home during our stay. Everything was handled with so much care and love. The food was phenomenal. Chef Pablo put so much intention and care into our meals. We felt so nourished! And the massages were some of the best we’ve ever had! Our tour guides and drivers were excellent and we had a blast during our excursions. There is something truly special about AmaTierra and we are so lucky and grateful to have had the opportunity to host our retreat here. Thank you Bob and Jill and to the wonderful staff at AmaTierra for making this experience an unforgettable one.

11/10 STARS!!! Highly Recommend I have nothing but WONDERFUL things to say about Amatierra. The entire place is beautiful, the staff is some of the best ever, the food was unreal, and the rooms were amazing. I highly recommend staying with Bob and Jill. Our group had a lovely experience for the 5 days we stayed and would absolutely love to come back. Massive shoutouts to Alan, Pablo & Popo who treated us like family. 🤍

Relaxing and full of great experiences in Costa Rica! Went for a Yoga retreat and had an amazing time! The Yoga studio shows off the incredible landscape and is absolutely perfect whether you are practicing with a large group or solo. Viviana is magic and gave me one of the best massages of my life, I would return just for her! Pablo cooked incredible meals and treated us to a couple of evenings of beautiful music. And all of the staff were so kind and helpful, attentive and added to the relaxing feeling of being there. But the true stars were Alan, Jill and Bob who are warm and gracious hosts with a wealth of knowledge and know how to provide you with whatever you need from Costa Rican adventures to quiet self care and poolside days. Thank you for an amazing trip!

“Felt like visiting Family…in a good way 😉“

REVIEWED JUNE, 2022

I visited AmaTierra for a much needed 10 day mental, spiritual and physical rest. I went alone and fully intended to keep to myself the entire time. However, I was struck by the sense of warmth and inclusion that the staff radiated from the time that Juan picked me up from the airport until the moment I left. The sense of belonging trickles down to the guests and, to my surprise, I found myself making some really good friends from all over the world who were also there to heal. It was just perfect. And exactly what this weary soul needed. I also did the 5 day detox with two other guests. We became fast friends as The Detoxers and actually enjoyed ourselves immensely. The group and individual sessions with Jill were so helpful. I honestly was never hungry and I was able to cleanse my body of a wicked caffeine addiction that had lasted for decades. Seriously. This place is special. It is admittedly a bit “wild”, with no air conditioning in the rooms (which this Texas girl is definitely used to) and the occasional visit from rather large spiders but I honestly feel so grateful that I found this place. I will keep in touch with Bob, Jill, Melinda and many of the guests that I had the pleasure of meeting at AmaTierra. And I am looking forward to going back as soon as I can.

“A grounding experience, how wonderful!“

REVIEWED APRIL, 2022

From the first day to the last, our stay at Ama Tierra was truly wonderful. My mom and I visited together for a medical school graduation/30th birthday celebration for me and we could not have chosen a better place for this occasion. I was impressed by the balance struck in every aspect of the experience at Amatierra. Rooms were clean and comfortable. Morning and evening yoga with interspersed meals made for enough to do without being overwhelming and plenty of time for introspection and relaxation. Jill and Bob were incredibly welcoming and kind. The other guests who we shared our time with were beyond wonderful and we had a connective experience with them as well. I left feeling I think the most relaxed I ever have in my life (not exaggerated). By taking care of all the potential decisions in a day (where to go, what to do, what to eat) you as a guest were almost forced to just practice being and sit with yourself which encouraged reflection, relaxation, and ease. As a soon to be allopathic medical doctor I was impressed by Jill’s expertise in her field and knowledge of chinese medicine and herbs. Though she was clearly incredibly knowledgeable I also appreciated that she did not push her offerings on any of the guests and approached each guest from an ethos of non judgement and opening. I truly felt so comfortable and can not say enough about the authentic experience Jill and Bob are offering. My mom and I left feeling strong, centered, relaxed, and ready to step back into daily life feeling more resilient and grounded. Would love to come back to this special place!

“Rest and renew yoga retreat“

REVIEWED APRIL, 2022

It difficult to clearly express the wonderful experience my stay was…as I arrived I felt welcomed, Jill and Bob are truly sincere and go beyond to make your stay memorable. Yoga was given by a gifted instructor, a loving spirit. Meals were so delicious…each a surprise visually in presentation. Their staff are friendly and very helpful.

“I cannot express in words just how grateful I am to have discovered Amatierra, and to have had the opportunity to come stay here for a week. I have done other week-long wellness retreats in the past, and nothing compares to what Bob and Jill (the owners) offer at their magical, sacred, stunning location above the mountain jungle canopy. Between the lush, fresh, healing food their staff creates for you, to the personal relationships forged, to the attention to detail, to the treatments and activities on offer, to the natural surroundings themselves – every aspect served to heal and change my life for the better in every way: mentally, emotionally, spiritually, physically, psychically. I did the week long wellness / detox package (which comes with all meals and a massage, two yoga classes a day, as well as a comprehensive health and wellness consult with Jill, who is an herbalist and healer, among many other credentials), and I left feeling restored, empowered, embodied, and reset. Yoga is done in the most majestic open area studio over looking the valley, and all meals are taken in a similar setting on a gorgeous patio. I opted to buy another massage, as well as another incredible healing session. This place is a singular, special place, one that attracts incredible people to come work and stay here. I can’t say enough good things about the entire experience, and I cant wait to return to Amatierra to see Bob, Jill, and their entire gorgeous, kind, intuitive, empathetic staff! Highly, highly recommend in every way.”
