This was my 1st worldpackers n was absolutamente increíble. Mauricio is amazing. The location is beautiful. The work is simple and you have plenty of free time. You will never be bored or alone. I made friends and a community. There's Sm to explore and loved it so much i plan on going back. U also get a private room and bathroom which is a plus as well. If u r thinking abt doing this opportunity i promise u won't regret it.

My stay at the lodge was everything I could've hoped for and more. Mauricio and the rest of the staff were incredibly friendly, attentive, and always willing to help with whatever I needed. I had such a great time getting to know the local community as well as guests at the hotel that come from all over the world. I only stayed at the lodge for two weeks but it felt like a lifetime worth of experience and fun, and at the end of my stay I didn't want to leave. I would highly recommend this Worldpacker experience to anyone and I can't wait to hopefully come back real soon! Pura Vida!

This was my first worldpackers experience would recommend it to anyone. All of the staff at the hotel were so friendly and the work was simple and enjoyable (mainly breakfasts). Mauricio went out of his was to include me on daily activities allowing me to make friends with the lovely locals and explore this beautiful part of the world. He even helped me to get a discounted tour to snorkel at the nearby island.I felt very safe and at home in the private accommodation right next to the hotel where you can spot so many animals and use the pool. Muchísimas gracias espero que pueda volver a CR :)

The people were so kind and welcoming. Volunteering here is the perfect opportunity to meet locals, practice Spanish and explore the beautiful the lodge area. My tasks each day were helping serve breakfast or working in the reception in the afternoon.
Thank you, Mauricio and everyone else, for being such good friends during my time here!

I had a great time. The host and co workers are very kind and if you speak spanish you can practice a lot. But in September there is not much to do, lucky that i met a lot of locals that showed me around The room was different from what i exptected but okay, since you can pass your time outside. The communication was sometimes difficult, because the tasks are not discussed and when people want to checkin or have some questions i always had to call the host.

Thank you very much for everything, I had a very nice time in Margarita. I would have appreciated more explanation about what to do for check-in or when someone wants something like me, I can help.

My time in the hotel surely is unforgettable! Mauricio was really nice with us and made sure we saw everything there is to see. I would raccomend this experience especially if you want to connect with local people. During the day(and night😉) we had lots of free time to go to the beach, have a little hike in the nearby jungle and hang out with the friends we made. I'm really happy I had this experience and I would raccomend it to anyone!!! Thank you Mauricio for this experience and for all the times you made us laugh🥰🥰🥰. (And for finding out that Coke is good in some chicken recipes)

It's difficult for me to sum up everything that happened at the hotel in just a few sentences. I volunteered for 2 weeks and it was an unforgettable experience. Mauricio is the most adorable and funny (sometimes ahah), it's thanks to him that I was able to discover the hotel but also to see this little paradise from a local point of view, to meet new friends, to discover the culture of Costa Rica . I'll never forget this experience! (as for Mauricio, he won't forget my crêpes). 😍🇫🇷

Hi Ladies. Thanks for helping us with our projet. It was a pleasure to have you down here. You two, Aga and you have become as a good friends. I will never forget the supreme pizza made by Agata and the delicous crepas that I have never tasted before in my life. Some improments, but good.

Staying in the hotel was very nice it is a really beautiful place. The locals were all very friendly and nice. Mauricio was very kind and accommodating. He went out of his way to take me new places. The work was really simple and easy but there was no training which made it a bit difficult to understand what they wanted. The room was not what I was expecting and there are no photos of it on the Worldpackers page, but it was private and comfortable. Overall it was a great time and I would recommend for anyone who loves nature, wants to speak Spanish, and wants to connect with locals.
