The Experience

Join us in Santa Cruz La Laguna, Costa Rica, where Pura Vida thrives! Our spot includes a restaurant and cozy cabinas with a team of 14. We seek energetic, motivated all-rounders to help with various restaurant tasks and occasionally clean cabinas. Flexibility is essential. Animal lovers are a bonus—we have a lovely dog, Chiquita, who needs care when I'm away. Perfect for simple living, 5-min walk to the beach, and surf lovers.

I really enjoyed my time at the inn restaurant. The boss Fede and the team were amazing. If you're a surfer you'll see that the waves here are stunning, but also if you just love the beach this place is perfect. I can't really recommend Playa Grande itself to partygoers as it's a really remote place, but you can take a taxi or walk to Tamarindo (best parties in Costa Rica). The work was relaxed and it was fun to interact with all the guests. The food was delicioussss, the accommodation was tidy, and the entire complex was beautiful. Thank you again for the great time :)

No recomiendo esta experiencia, me sentí inconfortable, poco respetado, lugar no era él de las fotos cuando llegué, trabajo distinto al que se ofrece, no se proveé agua caliente, siento que no se comprende el intercambio voluntariado que se realiza, infelizmente mí primera experiencia negativa en la plataforma. Gracias al equipo de la pousada. No recomiendo esta experiencia.

Clearly Franco doesn't understand how this kind of exchange works. He came with no money at all and was desperate to work somewhere else in order to live. This led him to ask me for more hours so he could work somewhere else. Since it didn't work out for him and he left without notice, he prefers to lie to cover his poor performance and his lies. His girlfriend, and at her request, stayed working with us for more than a month. If we were so bad, she wouldn't have asked us to continue.
