Kind Words from Guests

  • "I highly recommend this retreat center to anyone looking for a getaway to enjoy life off the land for a bit."

    “Tiffany & Colin are incredible hosts. Everything was so smooth throughout my entire stay. As someone with a plant-based diet, the meals I had there were amazing. Tiffany has a strong background in plant-based culinary, and with all the produce grown on their land, it felt like a farm to table experience every day. Her property is connected to a beautiful river, so I quite enjoyed the short hikes to get there, followed by refreshing swims. The rooms they offer are so cozy and you can see that the interior design is thoughtfully curated. I enjoyed waking up to golden morning light every morning. They also have a bath house with an infrared sauna and inviting bath tub, which I made sure to make use of!”

  • “Finca Malama is a little slice of heaven on Earth!”

    “While San Vito may be off the beat, a visit is an incredible opportunity to integrate deep into Southern Costa Rica's pristine beauty and local vibe.

    Tiff + Colin tend to a bountiful farm, beautiful community and peaceful energy. Falling asleep to the jungle soundscape deep in nature and waking up every morning in the little A-frame was a total dream. The clean, flowing river on the property to hike down to and dive in was total bliss. The walks through the rural neighborhood were sweet with beautiful views. And the whole vibe was deeply healing, restful and restorative.

    Tiff's nourishing cooking was not only delicious, but incredibly varied, and what a gift to eat mostly from the bounty of the land!  And the community of healers and bodyworkers around the farm was an unexpected blessing. Lots of love goes into everything at Finca Malama and that stewardship is an inspiration and gift.”

  • "Living here will bring you closer to both physical and mental health"

    “If you are someone who finds happiness in being healthy, then being here will be the best experience for you. If you are overflowing with spirituality or if you are seeking an artistic experience, we strongly recommend staying in a cabin. In the (A-Frame) cabin, where there is little light and no reception, you will gain time to ‘give up’ on things you want to do during the day.  This time will allow you to have meaningful experiences.

    Our time here was a necessity in our lives.  Our initial plan was for one month, but we chose to extend it to two months because we felt the need for more time. This experience has become an irreplaceable milestone in our lives. There are many more things too numerous to write about. We are so grateful for having met Tiffany and Colin. ”

  • “Tiffany and Colin are great people to live and work with and super generous."

    “I've got a great deal of good things to say. Went above and beyond to make the A-frame hands down the best living space I've come across. A lot of effort is put into the experience and it really shows. Special thanks for all the great food, and for being happy to teach about anything.”

    “The best Workaway experience EVER! Tiffany And Colin are so kind and knowledgeable about many different things. I learned so much during my time here. Tiffany is an exceptional cook! Originally, I planned to stay here for a month but ended up extending it another month because I was learning so much. I would definitely come back again!”
