Pros - jungle and beach at my doorstep; reasonable hours/tasks; provided healthy food to eat. Cons – job listing did not explain that I would LIVE at the construction site in a half-built house. Contrary to job listing, I slept in a cot, not a bed. Rooms lacked walls and were exposed to nature (I killed scorpions in the house; raccoons entered kitchen to steal food; floors were dirty). Had to climb down hill to reach stove. Bedroom floors were on a semi-steep decline. It rained a few days and water leaked from ceilings into rooms from many locations making house uninhabitable.

Mi primera experiencia como voluntaria en Santa Lucía fue maravillosa. Me sentí parte del equipo y de la familia en todo momento, recibiendo un trato afectuoso y respetuoso. Las tareas son sencillas y muchas veces compartidas. Disfruté mucho las caminatas con Dasha y Fer 😊, y de las actividades compartidas dentro y fuera del hotel. Tuve todos los días momentos de conexión con la naturaleza y tranquilidad pueblerina. Me llevo un puñado de recuerdos hermosos y nuevos amigos ❤️

Mi experiencia ha sido 100% positiva. Lupita es una mujer maravillosa, dulce, ....te hace sentir parte de la familia y de hecho siento que ya lo soy un poco...He estado 1 mes en Santa Lucía hotel y me voy triste dejando atrás amigas, risas, confidencias y 4 semanas de trabajo tranquilo en un pueblo bonito, disfrutando de la gente, de sus excursiones, de mis días libres en Puerto Vallarta y alrededores, y.... sobre todo con el cariño de Lupita y Familia.
