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.
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. 🤍
From the get go, Bob & Jill (owners) welcomed us with open arms and treated us like family. The resort had such beautiful views of the mountains, breathtaking and very serene. I was in my element. The food was excellent, locally farmed, organic, their own pasture raised eggs. Jill taught us about the different herbs and each day sampled us supplements that were very helpful. There are hiking trails at facility and a nature walk. The massage offered us was the best I’ve ever had and the yoga studio was just simply amazing and breathtaking. She a gemstone heated mattress to relax during our free time as well as a massaging bed that hit many of my trigger points. Several excursions were offered such as zip lining, rain forest spotting the wildlife including monkeys, macaws, toucans, geckos and iguanas.
A Journey Back to Myself - My Heart Is Full
If you’ve been thinking about taking a solo journey but fear is holding you back — let me, be the voice that tells you: go.
Go for the healing. Go for the peace. Go for you.
From the moment I arrived at AmaTierra Retreat & Wellness Center in Costa Rica, Jill and Bob made me feel seen, safe, and completely cared for. It’s rare to find a place that embraces you the way this one does — not just as a guest, but as family.
This experience was eye-opening, emotional, and deeply powerful. As an earth sign, being surrounded by nature felt like coming home. Every morning, I woke to the symphony of birds and the warmth of the sun on my skin — a gentle reminder from Mother Earth that I was exactly where I needed to be.
There were signs everywhere — hearts forming in the sky, subtle whispers from the land — assuring me that I was protected, loved, and supported.
Now, let’s talk about the food. I’m someone who loves meat and had never really eaten organic or vegan before this trip — and let me tell you, I have never eaten healthier or better in my life. Every meal was crafted with so much care and intention by Alan and his incredible team.
Don’t let the simple presentation fool you — the flavor and nourishment are on another level. It’s as if your body instantly recognizes that this is what it’s been craving all along.
Yoga and meditation sessions with Jill were exactly what my soul needed — grounding, healing, and filled with wisdom. And the massages with Viviana? I’ve had massages all over the world, but none compared to hers.
What she does goes far beyond the muscles — it’s energetic, emotional, and transformational. She doesn’t just give a massage; she gives healing through touch.
AmaTierra isn’t about fancy filters or “bougie retreat” aesthetics. It’s about authentic healing, connection, and peace.
If you’re looking for a place to begin your journey, to reset, reconnect, and rediscover yourself — with or without any yoga experience — this is it. Whether you’re a solo traveler, a couple, or a family, you’ll find what you didn’t even know you were searching for here.
So, stop scrolling.
Listen to that quiet voice within that’s been asking for a break, for healing, for something real.
Book the trip.
You’ll thank me later — or better yet, your future self-will.
To every woman wondering if she can do this alone — yes, you can, and you absolutely should.
This isn’t just a retreat.
It’s a homecoming.
With so much love and gratitude to Jill, Bob, and the entire AmaTierra family for creating such a loving, nurturing space filled with pure Pura Vida energy. You will forever have a special space in my heart.
Namaste, my friends — Angie
My experience at AmaTierra was nothing short of amazing! Jill and Bob were gracious and welcoming hosts. Their staff are friendly and warm, and Chef Alan has a gift for creating fresh, nourishing and delicious food! As a single traveler, I felt well-cared for, safe and secure. The massage, gemstone mat and yoga practices were restorative and healing. I especially appreciated the personal touches like sharing music and mealtimes with the hosts. It is an experience I will remember and treasure in my heart for years to come. I can’t wait to return with friends and family! From the depths of my rejuvenated soul and the bottom of my heart - muchas gracias and mahalo!
My time at AmaTierra was incredibly special and restorative. From the moment I arrived, I felt warmly welcomed by the wonderful couple who run the place, Jill and Bob. Jill is a true healer—kind, intuitive, and deeply knowledgeable as a herbalist.
The entire staff was amazing, especially Alan who was always kind and attentive. The chef prepared such delicious and healthy meals—each dish felt like it was made with love.
The yoga and meditation sessions helped me slow down, relax, and reconnect with myself. I especially loved the sound bath healing—it was such a calming and powerful experience. Waking up to the sounds of birds each morning felt like a dream.
Beyond the retreat’s beautiful wellness offerings, I also got to enjoy some incredible activities like horseback riding, going to the beach, watching wild animals, swimming under a waterfall—it was such a grounding and joyful moment.
One of the highlights for me was connecting with the group of people there, everyone was so open and kind, it made me feel right at home.
AmaTierra is a peaceful and nourishing place to heal, explore, and reconnect—with nature, yourself, and others. I’m so grateful for the experience and highly recommend it to everyone!
I hosted my first yoga retreat in March at AmaTierra. I fell in love with the yoga shala and couldn't think of a better place to book the ladies' retreat than overlooking the Costa Rican jungle.
The rooms were clean and well cared for. It is in the middle of the jungle so a few spiders and ants were expected. There are plenty of stairs, so be ready for a bit of a workout getting up and down the hills.
The food was delicious, but at dinner few ladies wanted seconds to savor more, which were not always available. Kudos to the chef for such a great menu with fish, chicken, vegetarian, and gluten free options.
The massages and wellness treatments were the highlight with the ladies! And the excursions were fantastic. The waterfall is beautiful, but be aware that the upper falls is more of a rugged climb than may be anticipated. Staying at the lower falls for those with less mobility may be the best option.
The only thing that caught me off-guard was there was no air-conditioning in the rooms, only ceiling fans. We went during the dry season so that may have been why it was warmer, but after a few days we regulated to the heat.
Overall, it was a beautiful place and I would definitely host another event at the location.

My stay at AMA Tierra was an amazing experience. Everything about AMA Tierra is authentic. The yoga was amazing in a beautiful Shaka overlooking the mountains. The food was absolutely incredible, healthy and layered with flavors that are tantalizing to the taste buds. I give the chef 5+ stars. The staff is incredibly friendly and the tours they offer really gave me a true experience of visiting Costa Rica. The owners are wonderful people and I am so glad I took this opportunity to spend time in their lovely establishment. I will definitely return and I highly recommend visiting.
The good parts: The other retreat goers ended up being really nice which was awesome; the staff was also great - always smiling and friendly! At first I thought the yoga was a little too relaxed for my taste, but I actually ended up really enjoying Jill's classes.
The not so good parts: the trip was kind of pricey considering how basic the accomodations were. I wasn't expecting a luxury resort, but the property and buildings were much more dated than I expected. The biggest problem for me was that the retreat is situated on a very busy, noisy road and under an equally disturbing flight path which was not only very low but also almost constant. I guess when the retreat opened, it was a little oxcart path, but 18 yrs later, it is constant noise from dirtbikes, large trucks, etc. Unfortunately, for someone with extreme noise sensitivities like myself, this had a pretty big impact on my ability to enjoy the retreat and relax much. Since cutting the trip short for a partial refund wasn't an option, I just had to stick it out and make the best of it.
Overall, a good experience but not the perfect, peaceful retreat I was hoping for.
There is absolutely no other place like AmaTierra. Incredibly pure hearted staff, beautiful rooms, pool and shala, BUT LETS NOT PRETEND THE FOOD ISNT THE BEST PART! We were fed breakfast lunch and dinner with LOVE! My heart was able to fully revive and receive with the help of this special place. If your a women traveling alone, this is the safest spot you can book at. Thank you Jill and Bob, Vivian and Jake, Coco and all the rest! I love you and will be back with my whole family!!!

Ok, so first off, the drive to get there is ridiculously long, especially if you’re in a bus-bring anti nausea medication because it’s windy. Honestly, I would give this place 1 star because of how rude Jill was, but the rest of the staff (especially Bob & Vivi-who were incredibly hospitable and welcoming). The beds were terrible and they rationed the food like police. Granted, we had a big group but they knew way ahead of time. The accommodations were okay, lots of bugs.
Basic coffee in the morning they didn’t have ready until 7:30 or 8 and it was like pulling teeth to get it earlier. It felt like anything we asked for was like pulling teeth if Jill was involved (because she runs the show).
Massages were good, the therapists were quite skilled, but the pedicure was a waste of money. She used dirty tools and it’s was so hodgepodge-don’t waste your money.
The walkway going down to the huts was incredibly DANGEROUS and frankly, I’m surprised more people haven’t gotten injured. I have very good balance and almost fell several times.
Bottom line, would never go back. I legit can’t believe people actually like this place.
I did a five day yoga retreat and loved it! A very chill family run place with a relaxed environment. Highly recommended - delicious food, excellent yoga classes, friendly staff, and is very safe for women travelling alone. The massage therapist is very knowledgable, and the trip to the waterfall is simply stunning. The property is very peaceful, and much of the cuisine is local and/or grown onsite. Everything is done with great care. A great place to heal, or just get away from it all.

The morning yoga classes with Jill were absolutely restorative and sooo energizing. The spa is magical and the crystal bed was like nothing i had ever experienced!! What a full body restoration.
