A True Artisan Experience - take a tour with us at our local goats milk soap laboratory.

Inspiring, educational, heartfelt, and memorable are just a few of the feelings that come to mind while on a tour with Melissa and Jean as they share their soap making laboratory with us called Amazilia.

Like any artist, they have been ceaselessly hard at work to bring their passion and life's work to fruition. In 2012, Jean and Melissa studied in Panama and wrote their thesis about goats milk soap together.

It was then they discovered what the rest of their lives would become; a love for each other, their animals, artisan skills, and a desire to share their beautifully hand-crafted soaps and shampoos with the world.

After completing their studies, they set out to find just the right sourcing for fresh quality goats milk where the animals were raised with love knowing it would be the primary ingredient used in their soaps.

This boots on the ground research is what planted the seed that would become their own farm one day. Now, they have a herd of 30 goats, a farm of over 4 hectares (almost 10 acres), and a laboratory built just the way they want it - to fulfill their global soap and shampoo making business.

Their hard work makes it possible for our guests to enjoy a little aromatherapy every day, courtesy of the soaps and shampoos in their rooms.

During a tour of the lab and the farm, our guests have a chance to meet and kiss the beautiful goats before ending it with a tasting of fresh milk, hand crafted cheeses, locally grown coffee all the while getting to know the story of Melissa and Jean whose passion and dedication for their craft shine through in everything they do.

When children join the tour, they are treated to a special activity of making their very own soaps to take home. We highly recommend signing up for this adventure with us as another way to enjoy this magical place and take a piece home with you too.
