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!
