Unique Approach to Healing
MindScape Retreat specializes in a holistic approach to wellness, blending traditional therapeutic methods with innovative psychedelic treatments. Among our offerings, Ibogaine therapy stands out as a highly effective treatment for addiction, depression, PTSD, and anxiety. Ibogaine, derived from the Tabernanthe iboga plant, has shown remarkable success in interrupting addiction patterns, alleviating withdrawal symptoms, and resetting the brain's chemistry to promote healing. By stimulating neuroplasticity and activating Glial Cell Line-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (GDNF), Ibogaine helps repair neural pathways damaged by trauma or substance use, offering long-lasting relief.
In addition to Ibogaine, we offer Psilocybin and 5-MeO-DMT therapies, creating a powerful combination for those on a path of personal growth and development. These treatments are administered by a team of experienced professionals, ensuring that each individual receives the highest level of care tailored to their specific needs.
Personalized and Comprehensive Programs
Recognizing the uniqueness of each individual's journey, MindScape Retreat offers personalized treatment programs. Our approach integrates psychedelic therapy with supportive practices such as yoga, meditation, and mindfulness, designed to deepen the transformative experience. This combination ensures a profound and lasting impact on our guests' mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being, allowing for true holistic healing.
Ibogaine treatment at MindScape is especially personalized. We carefully assess each guest’s medical history and specific challenges to create a customized protocol that maximizes safety and effectiveness. The treatment often includes a structured detoxification process, with close medical monitoring to ensure a smooth and safe experience. This is particularly critical given the powerful effects of Ibogaine, which can deeply reset neurochemical imbalances, making it a breakthrough treatment for those who have struggled with long-term addiction or treatment-resistant mental health conditions.
Luxurious and Comfortable Setting
Accommodations at MindScape Retreat are designed to offer the utmost comfort and tranquility. Each guest enjoys a private room with full amenities, providing an ideal environment for relaxation, reflection, and recovery. The peaceful retreat, surrounded by Cozumel's lush natural beauty, serves as the perfect backdrop to the deep healing that takes place during Ibogaine and other psychedelic therapies. This serene setting enhances the therapeutic process, helping guests to fully disconnect from the outside world and focus on their inner journey.

Engagement with Nature
A key aspect of the MindScape Retreat experience is the connection with the natural world. Guests can partake in snorkeling tours, beach excursions, and explore the island's unique ecosystem, fostering a deeper connection with both themselves and the environment.

Expert Team and Safe Environment
Safety and professionalism are the foundation of MindScape Retreat. Our team of certified physicians and therapists brings years of experience in psychedelic-assisted therapy, addiction treatment, and mental health care.

At MindScape, we conduct thorough medical screenings, including EKGs, blood work, and liver function panels, to ensure that each guest is a suitable candidate for Ibogaine treatment.
During the Ibogaine experience, our medical staff remains on-site, providing constant supervision to ensure the utmost safety. This commitment to safety allows our guests to fully embrace the transformative potential of the therapy, knowing that they are in expert hands.

Major Discrepancies Between Advertised and Actual Experience – Not Recommended
I attended MindScape in Cozumel in December 2025, expecting the 7-day PTSD/trauma program as described on their website and in pre-booking communications (link: https://www.mindscaperetreat.com/ibogaine-case-study-for-ptsd-trauma), including a beachfront location at Ave. Rafael E. Melgar #29, specific staff/doctors, and an outlined protocol without unexpected add-ons or preparations.
What I experienced was substantially different (see attached photos of the actual facility and neighborhood):
* The facility was an inland residential house in a run-down neighborhood, not the advertised beachfront site. This is a significant safety concern: Travelers arriving alone (especially vulnerable individuals like veterans with PTSD or those seeking trauma treatment) may expect a secure, visible beachfront area. Family or friends informed of the advertised address could have difficulty locating you in an emergency, as the actual location is in a less maintained residential area that feels isolated and unsafe, particularly at night or for solo arrivals.
* Upon arrival, there was immediate pressure to upgrade to a longer program.
* The protocol included an unexpected multi-day tapering/preparation phase, despite the advertised PTSD/trauma treatment describing a more direct approach without such extended preliminaries.
* A promised booster or follow-up element was not administered during any phase; it required an extra fee despite being part of the advertised program.
* Only one NAD+ infusion was provided (which caused bruising).
* The assigned therapist was not a dedicated professional as implied (it was the facility’s scuba instructor).
* Website-featured doctors and staff were not present on-site.
* Some promised elements required extra fees or were not included.
* Nearly all on-site staff spoke little to no English, making it difficult to communicate basic needs, requests, or concerns throughout the stay.
* All guest rooms are located upstairs with no ground-floor options, making access difficult for anyone with mobility limitations (e.g., Parkinson’s or similar conditions).
* The pool area did not appear well-maintained or safe.
* For several days during my stay, the showers only had cold water.
* Meals were mediocre at best, poorly prepared, and not organic as one might expect from a wellness retreat.
* Despite leaving early because the treatment did not match what was promised and prepaid for (including medications and unused portions of the program), no refund—full or partial—was provided.
Billing showed as “Cozumel Cruise Excursions.”
I did not feel fully safe due to the location mismatch and other discrepancies, left early, and received no refund despite the significant differences from the advertised program. Other recent reviews mention similar issues.
Strong recommendation: If considering this retreat—especially if seeking a protocol similar to those in recent documentaries or studies on ibogaine for veterans’ PTSD—verify the exact current location, protocol (including any preparations/tapering), staff presence, billing details, accessibility, facility maintenance, meal quality, language support, and refund/cancellation policies in writing beforehand. The advertised beachfront address does not match the actual inland site, and the routine multi-day preparations may differ from more direct approaches depicted elsewhere—which, combined with no refunds for early departures due to discrepancies and other issues—poses potential risks for travelers, especially those arriving alone or with heightened safety/mobility needs.
Not recommended, particularly for veterans or anyone seeking reliable trauma support.
I had the most incredible experience at MindScape Retreat for Ibogaine treatment for my Parkinson’s disease. From the moment I arrived, the staff made me feel cared for and safe. They’re not just knowledgeable, they’re genuinely compassionate, and it made all the difference.
The 14 day microdosing program was truly transformative. My tremors and stiffness improved so much, and I felt more stable on my feet. Even better, the emotional weight of living with Parkinson’s, like anxiety and depression, lifted. I feel clearer and more myself than I’ve been in years.
The retreat in Cozumel, Mexico, was the perfect setting for healing, peaceful, beautiful, and relaxing. On top of the Ibogaine therapy, I loved the yoga, meditation, and the delicious, healthy meals they provided. Everything worked together to support my mind and body.
The medical care was top notch, with regular check-ins and personalized treatment. Knowing they work with hospitals and researchers made me feel completely safe throughout the process.
Absolutely 100% would return to MindScape. Of course, the journey was tough at first, but I had all the support I needed, wouldn’t change a thing! I am so grateful for the staff at MindScape and the opportunity to heal inside and out, definitely going back for a touch up soon. ❤️
Words can’t describe how grateful I am thanks to this top of the line clinic in Cozumel. Dr. Omar and team were outstanding and couldn’t have asked for a better retreat. I was suffering from Alcoholism and sever PTSD and from the moment I arrived I felt safe and comfortable. It’s very impressive with their medical equipment and expertise with Ibogaine. When I arrived there were some people leaving and they said MindScape has done what traditional doctors couldn’t. I just left and feel like a completely new person without the constant anxiety and addiction. Thank you so much
I can’t recommend Mindscape enough. Other clinics wouldn’t take me because I was on methadone and wanted me to get off because they didn’t want me to stay for two weeks or would charge me triple. Luckily I found Mindscape and they have a program for long acting opioids. It’s been over 7 months and still feeling great. They changed my life and will tell anyone who’s willing to listen
Highly recommend this retreat. Did the 5 day psilocybin retreat and exceeded our expectations.
