Beautiful experience in Costa Rica

My experience with Ama Tierra during my yoga retreat was wonderful. Both Bob and Jill are highly knowledgeable about the area and run retreats efficiently. They work closely with the retreat leaders to ensure that everything goes smoothly. The staff is amazing! Allan at the front desk takes care of all our needs, from spa treatments to evening beverages, and he ensures that those with food allergies receive the correct meals each day. The kitchen crew is fantastic, and the meals were divine! I was surprised by how many delicious desserts could be made gluten-free. Thank you so much!

The yoga shala was incredibly peaceful and the ideal space to begin and end the day with yoga, meditation, or simply sitting in silence. I eagerly anticipate booking another retreat with Ama Tierra very soon. Thank you once again.

The rooms far surpassed my expectations for comfort. The privacy wall in the room between the two beds added an extra touch, allowing us to share a room without feeling cramped. The bathrooms were stunning and quite spacious. There are several steps to reach the rooms and return to the main area, but nothing too challenging.

The Spa treatments and space were peaceful and the professional therapists knew exactly what they were doing and how to help you heal and relax at the same time.
