AmaTierra Yoga Retreat and Hotel Costa Rica التقييمات

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.

Such a Magical place to visit and to stay!!! Love the fact that it’s within an hour from SJO airport only! Highly recommended!

Lovely place, peaceful jungle, ideal for recuperating

Absolutely magical experience at this blessed sacred land. We can’t praise it enough!! Thank you to our dear friends Bob and Jill for taking care of us like family. So much love has been infused in every corner of this wonderful calm nature oasis. The staff is sooo warm and friendly and the chef Maybelline makes the most comforting healthy meals.. the service is 5 stars!! 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. The fields of endless turmeric, the abounding medicinal plants, it’s all a dream. We love AMATIERRA and look forward to coming back soon!! THANK YOU!!

Everything was amazing and the owners are incredible people

Bonito lugar

We spent an amazing 5 days at the resort. Gentle daily yoga, beautiful setting, and delicious food combined to make it fully relaxing and enjoyable. I felt renewed and more centered when I left. Jill and Bob are fantastic hosts, and their incredibly friendly staff make you feel at home. I'm ready to go back!

Great place. The food was worth going back for alone. Beautiful big yoga/meditation room as well.

Property and staff here are amazing, very relaxing with amazing food. We spent a week here and wish we never had to leave, they organized day trips to the beach, volcano and adventure parks for us to take all the guess work out of planning the perfect retreat.

Amatierra was my honey moon destination, and we just had the most amazing week. It was perfect, from the actual location, full of greenery, magic and beauty to the organic food, and the service. We had the treatments included in the packages plus many more. The hosts treat you as if you were family and give you all the privacy you need. Yoga every morning and as much adventures as you can handle if you want a thrill also. Definitely a place to go with someone as you really are retreated. I left connected, rejuvenated, grounded and ready to take on life once more.

Ama Tierra was a whole lot of what I expected, and then some. Yes, I wanted to book a getaway retreat, to a place where I could practice yoga daily, meditate, eat well, and unplug. Ama Tierra offered more. I reset. I re-energized. I got in touch with nature. Specifically, I was at total peace sharing my room with a tarantula (I could’ve dialed 0 to have someone remove him/her, but I didn’t). I embraced the various sights and sounds and other living creatures wholly. In addition to the aforementioned daily rituals, the retreat also included a tour of the rainforest jungles, Jaco/Hermosa beach, and the crocodile bridge. I also enjoyed a half-day at a secluded waterfall- a destination I’ll never forget! Bob and Jill are great hosts. Bob is engaging and welcoming. He can regal you with stories from his life in music and Jill can educate you on the secrets of Chinese medicine. Their staff, including Diego and Carolina, the new yoga teacher, are wonderful embodiments of the Pura Vida lifestyle. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a complete health and wellness retreat.
