“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.

Jill, Bob and all of the staff simply made us feel at home! My partner and I brought a group of 21 people to AmaTierra for a yoga and sound healing retreat. The communication was excellent, the food was to die for and the retreat center was everything we could have asked for! Thank
“Restorative week at Ama Tierra“
REVIEWED MARCH, 2019
One of the most beautiful and restful locations we have yet to visit. Surrounded by greenery, flowers, butterflies, tropical birds and bathing in pure spring water: what a treat for city and winter-weary folks! And the food was divine: fresh, pure, local, and seasoned…
“Personal touches make you feel at home“
REVIEWED MARCH, 2019
I highly recommend going to AmaTierra, especially if you are a first time cleanser. I do cleanses at least once/year for different lengths, in different locations and I have been blessed with good experiences along the way, learning something new every time. My experience at…
