Thanks to Dora I had a very special and interesting stay. It is really in the middle of nowhere, only with animals, nature and a very basic casa to live 🌴🌸 We cleaned the beach, the garden, I helped her cooking (Dora cooks amazing food!). She was so patient with me talking in spanish, so she helped me improve it mucho :) Everyday we went for a walk, she showed me animals and we even saw a baby turtles liberation! 😍 Depending on the period, you may see many or no turtles, just check before! Sometimes there was noise from the neigbours and check the taxi prices before :) thanks Dora 🦥🐢🐒

Expérience assez unique et dépaysante ! L'endroit est vraiment isolé de tout mais avec du beau temps c'est un endroit de paradis. C'est calme et tranquille , la famille est très gentilles. L'hôte est toujours à l'écoute et de bonne humeur on peut parler avec elle et elle s'adapte à nos besoins. Les activités ne sont pas nombreuses mais facile à faire et qui aide j'espère pour le mieux la famille et la presqu'île. Vous verrez beaucoup d'animaux sauvages ! Par contre les tortues de sont pas visibles toute l'année, renseignez vous avant si vous voulez vous occuper de la protection des tortues

Bonjour, Je m'appelle louane et j'ai 18 ans , j'ai pu participer à cette expérience et découvrir une manière de vivre différente et des habitants très accueillants . Dora est une femme très gentille et à l'écoute ainsi que sa famille . J'ai pu profiter des très beaux paysages du Costa Rica . Cependant j'ai été très déçu du peu d'activités pratiquées. Je n'ai fait aucune mission comme nettoyer les plages ni rien de ce qui est demandé. J'ai été surprise du manque d'hygiène notamment face aux déchets laissés autour de la maison et attristée par les conditions de vie de leurs animaux .
