I have to tell you that my week at Tierra Magnifica was one of the best ever.  And I've been to a lot of places in the world.  The setting, the company, the service, the staff, were all beyond great.  I think the real deal-sealer is the attitude and atmosphere of "anything is possible", and I realize that doesn't happen by accident.  Your efforts along those lines make for a very laid- back week, and it is what most people really need I think.  To feel that everything is ok and they can just relax and enjoy.  You have created a good thing down there in Nosara, and I hope I can come back many times!

WOW!!!  What an amazing trip we had to Tierra Magnifica!  It was actually even better than what we all imagined.  Your place is so incredibly beautiful, with the nicest helpful staff- we so enjoyed them all!  The weather cooperated beautifully, we loved ALL our activities from ziplining to surfing, to our day at the farm (but glad we let the kids sleep in and skip the early AM nature walk!) And of course we loved our hang-out time at TM!   Again, I wanted to let you know how amazing your staff was.  Katia’s cooking was incredible and she was such a delight! Thanks for all your did to make this trip happen.  Happy New Year!

I had the most fantastic time from start to finish and feel so blessed to have experienced your lovely Tierra Magnifica and the wonderful, caring team you have put together.   I wouldn't change one thing the whole week and I smile (and laugh, believe it or not) when I think of all the memories.  You truly "have it going" with the experiences you allow your guests to have, I wouldn't change a thing. - thanks for sharing!

 I just want you to know what a fabulous time we all had at Tierra Magnifica!!!! The beautiful scenery,  delicious meals, fabulous accommodations, wonderful service and fun activities all contributed to an incredible 70th birthday celebration. I feel so very fortunate to have celebrated my birthday surrounded by those who are most dear and near to me in such an incredible setting.   I take home with me many cherished memories of our great experiences at Tierra Magnifica and Costa Rica.

OMG - this place is AMAZING!  It has been the perfect place to end this fabulous vacation!  Katia, Jacob and Carol and all been fabulous and it was so nice to have the kids checked out by a doctor that you know to know that all was well.  He would not let us pay him, so let us know if we can do anything for them.  We went surfing yesterday and all the kids got up.  Today, is yoga and massages!  We all voted and next time we come, we are just coming here!!
Thank you for putting together such a trip that met all of our expectations!

Hola a todos,

Heartfelt thanks for all that everyone did to ensure that my CRE was amazing!  Having been home a week now, I thought that my high would have faded and I would have accepted my fateful return to the cold Northeast.  Yet, all I can think about is how and when am I going to return to Costa Rica!!! Katia and Karol,   Perhaps you will need an assistant when Tierra Magnifica doubles in size!?! Steve, Muchas Gracias for offering your room during our last two nights; it felt just like home with Precious and Sanchez!  I think that Sanchez has me beat in the snoring department.  I miss them!  Everyone of us wants and hopes to return to your amazing Tierra Magnifica. Paz,Amor, & Dios te bendiga,

"Our family was fortunate to stay at Tierra Magnifica in Costa Rica over the winter holidays. We arrived after a week of travel to a warm reception and a delicious lunch. The property is beautiful and sprawling and we took full advantage of the yoga palapa , living roof patio, and the swimming pool. The kids had a blast on the rope swing. Although we were traveling with a group of 13, there was plenty of privacy and it never felt crowded. The staff at Tierra Magnifica was friendly, helpful and wonderful to share our vacation with. Two years have passed but we still talk about our incredible time in Nosara and how much we miss Katia's cooking. We hope to return soon!"

I wanted to let you know that our trip to Costa Rica was absolutely fabulous and all of your ideas and suggestions were excellent! All of your team members took great care of us and we felt safe and plugged in everywhere we traveled which is not easy in a foreign country. All of the activities were a thrill for the kids and I feel 20 years younger having done all of the adventures. Wrapping it all up at Tierra Magnifica was the perfect cap on a great trip. Your property is gorgeous and comfortable for any group. Please feel free to refer any of your prospective clients to us for a reference or to ask any questions. Thanks for providing an activated life experience.
Best regards,

"My family and I have stayed at Tierra Magnifica twice. And it truly is a heaven on earth. It's not just the beautiful grounds, it's the spirit of the place and the people there. The Jacobus Family is so welcoming and passionate about where they live. And the staff they work with at Tierra Magnifica is the same. You feel like a member of the family when you visit. I'm happy to say that the photos on their site really represent the feeling of the place. That magnificent view, the natural structures, the open, casual layout....I feel it all again when I look at those pictures. And they trigger memories of the sounds of howler monkey, .the smells of delicious food being prepared, the feel of the smooth wood floor of the rancho under my feet. If you ever have the opportunity to visit Tierra Magnifica, jump at it!"

"Steve and his team at Tierra Magnifica did a fabulous job organizing the Spanish language immersion course in July of 2009. I spent two weeks with Steve and two families at Tierra Magnifica, and I had an incredible experience. Everything was thoroughly organized and the instructors were the finest anywhere. The daily excursions were also highly entertaining and the meals were fantastic. I plan on attending again next year and would definitely recommend Tierra Magnifica to anyone wanting to have a first class experience in Costa Rica."

"Tierra Magnifica is a magical place. I brought a group there for a Yoga Retreat in March "09 and it was a very special trip filled with all kinds of adventures. The property is in a fantastic location with unbelievable views. We enjoyed the open air studio for our yoga practice daily. The service was great and the food even better. I would definitely recommend a trip to Tierra Magnifica and will go back myself one day.

Tierra Magnifica was perfect backdrop for our Tai chi retreat there. The surroundings allowed participants to relax to their fullest and challenge them at the same time. We thoroughly enjoyed the hospitality and the attentive staff. Thank you for making our retreat unique and special!!

"Our experience at Tierra Magnifica opened hearts and doors to new possibility for me personally and expanded our group’s ability to be more effective in our lives and the world. The energy and creativity that started with a sincere hand shake and sparkle from his eyes has grown to an understanding that dreams truly can manifest in our reality. Words pale the growth experiences that etched “Traction” in our lives."

"Steve has created a paradise in Costa Rica. Tierra Magnifica is visually stunning - amazing views of the jungle and ocean beyond, close up views of flora and fauna such as howler monkeys and blue iguanas, the brightly colored accents of the gorgeous turquoise pool, grassy terrace, beautifully laid out linens, native flowers, etc. Tierra Magnifica is a haven - so far removed from the world but still contains some civilization - amazing freshly prepared food, computer and internet hook ups, running water for showers, private rooms for your own sanctuary in the jungle, sophisticated yet comfortable furnishings. Tierra Magnifica is unique - the tree house is one of my favorite spots; but so is the upper outdoor terrace; the outdoor bar/kitchenette was a great place to have fresh juice in the morning; I loved taking a hike to the waterfall too.

I am still dreaming Nosara and Tierra Magnifica! What a special place you have and I am so glad to have been able to be a part of the experience….. I definitely feel I have another trip to Nosara in my future. I have attached lots of great photos of Tierra Magnifica and am anxious to share them with you. I have also sent some to Jacob to pass on to Katia, it was such an incredible trip and you have a wonderful staff. I know Jacob and Katia will enjoy them, big smiles on all of our faces. Thanks again for sharing such a beautiful place!

Well we just arrived back in the States fully exhausted from two weeks in Costa Rica. What a great trip. We absolutely loved Costa Rica and can’t thank you enough for making it so special… On the flight home yesterday we asked the kids to rate their top two favorite things from the two week vacation.  All three were in complete agreement: #1 – meeting you and your staff and #2 – our time at Tierra Magnifica. Mom and Dad couldn’t have agreed more.

I cannot say enough about all the magic & yummy love we experienced at Tierra Magnifica.  You are a wonder and it was fun to see all the players (staff) rise to the spectacular event that you pulled off... it is a deep blessing to be part of the miracle in creation.   I know it's just the beginning.  Thanks for sharing with such generosity of Spirit... your home, your family, your dream, your love.

I just wanted to say that all of the guys, including myself had the time of our lives.  Your staff was incredible and they treated us like family.  When we had that quad accident, Andy came rushing to the house and he was the greatest help.  The food was amazing and we weren't displeased with one meal.  Jacob was an awesome tour guide and he brought us on two quad trips.  He also set everything up and made it less confusing for everyone.  The views from the house were simply amazing. We are contemplating coming back to Costa Rica next year.  I would and will recommend Tierra Magnifica to anyone looking for a Costa Rican getaway.  Please let me know if  there is a website where I can put my positive thoughts down to help you out. Thanks again.
