Hi, I’m Andrea Nuricumbo :)) Staying here in Costa Rica was a great experience, I felt at home to tell the truth; spending this time here was quite pleasant since I could meet people with diverse thoughts that helped me expand mine, and getting along with the staff was VERY nice as they were kind and I honestly felt respected and connected with them. I will definitely miss being in this place!! Costa Rica and its people managed to touch my heart. My first experience was a 10/10 🙅💓

It was an incredible experience, almost all the staff are wonderful people.
Undoubtedly it has been one of the best experiences of my life thanks to the people I met there.
The only thing I would add would be more days off to explore the rest of the country at a leisurely pace.
