I had an amazing time during my stay in PR! Bill and Reneé are FANTASTIC people and make this beautiful place feel much like home not to mention the level of understanding they have towards others is great! They are very sweet people and I plan to go back I would definitely recommend this experience!

As my first world packer experience, it was just what I needed. Bill and Renee are some of the sweetest and caring people. They make you feel like it's your second home. This is a amazing opportunity if you want to get away from everything and surround yourself with nature.

Khagi - We miss you! We wish all our volunteers were as pleasant to have around as you. I hope you are doing something exciting and challenging!

Closed to Guests (Sept, not July): Lovely, 6/5 stars! Great food, fair work, incredible stay in luxury rooms, open use of property. Renee was kind & fun. Sweet pets. Open to Guests: Not what I expected nor was promised. 25 hours of work plus on call (often urgent with no notice), volunteer 'kitchen' is a fridge & sink (you can only use the full kitchen from 5-6:30 PM), and there are rules on when you can use the property spaces (aka go anywhere outside your room). The hosts are noticeably more stressed when open. I was also very uncomfortable after seeing how they treated Maranda. DM me!

Unfortunately McKenzie didn’t understand that when you volunteer in a hotel there are guest areas and facilities where the guests have priority over even the owners. I believe a volunteer who came before her may have contributed to that confusion. We were closed for repairs during much of the time that she was here and at that time she was free to even enjoy one of the guest suites. She also left a month early which left us stranded. She was a nice girl. We wish we had known that she had a problem with these issues then maybe we could’ve done something about it while she was here although I think the source of her problems was a friendship with another volunteer who was asked to leave just a week after Mackenzie got here because of being condescending too often for our comfort.

I felt that the work environment was tumultuous, the expectations were unclear, and that I was unable to occupy the property except for the volunteer dorm. I requested level setting discussions numerous times, and the hosts were unable to do this. I do not recommend this exchange to anyone, especially Black people because I feel the hosts are racist. I will gladly share more details with those who inquire.

Maranda and the Rainforest Inn were disappointedly not a good fit. Racism played no part in it.

Bill & Renee are incredibly gracious hosts who try to make the best experience for the volunteer. They provide very comfortable living quarters as well as food and have the best volunteer bathroom I have ever seen. All of us have different chores depending on what is needed such as being a barista, gardening, painting, housekeeping, etc. I made coffees in the morning and painted or did yard work in the afternoon. For days off they are very accommodating and will drop you off at the beach for the day and are flexible you want to plan a short trip to see the other islands. I highly recommend.

I had a wonderful experience! I was painting walls, landscaping, and cleaning for a new suite. Based on weather, we had to be flexible. On rainy days, I also helped with hospitality. I primarily worked with Renee who is super fair and fun! She was generous and an amazing cook. Dinners were always interesting with crazy stories. Ask a lot of questions beforehand so that your expectations match up. My room was nice, but not private bc there was always workers coming in and out. Be prepared for your space to be a construction zone. The new volunteer area is also a work in progress.

The volunteer quarters should be finished soon and then we will post pictures. The floor is finally tiled and I have to do some wiring.
