The hostel is very cozy and close to the beach. I worked the evning shift and helped with reception and gusts, cleaning a bit and closing the hostel. The hours went quick because I had plenty of time to socialice with the other gusts which is really nice. Dani and Tania are very nice people. Inviting me to activates like football and meditation , helping me and spreading good energy. I can absolutely recommend this place. Rincon is beautiful and after 2 weeks i could have stayed longer. Thank you for this experience!

Rincon del Mar is an amazing place, a beautiful authentic experience, the experience with the host was good as well and the interaction with the team really great. The accomodation was also ok, the only thing that was a bit disturbing was the fact that a damaged mosquito net was provided and keeping in mind the location very close to the mangroove, the mosquitos really had feast. For a moment I felt that my volunteering here has a negative impact on the laboral life of the locals, as the guy living bext door and working in the reception was not called to work anymore from the day I start.

Hi Cris, I hope these last few days in Rincón have been comfortable and peaceful for you. I read your comment on the platform and felt the need to share a few things with you, with kindness and honesty, just to clarify some points that didn't quite resonate with me. Jamel didn't stop working because you arrived. Actually, he missed work several times due to various personal situations. At one point, he wanted to work both at his aunt's restaurant on the corner of the neighborhood and in the park

Rincón del Mar es un paraíso mágico que lo tiene todo. Importante: el hostel cambió de administración y ahora se llama Água Sol, gestionado por Daniel. Es fundamental acordar con él previamente las tareas, horarios y responsabilidades para aprovechar bien la experiencia. La playa está muy cerca y fue una de las mejores que conocí. El equipo es increíble y muy amable, Marcela es la mejor! Hay algunos paseos y tuve descuentos por ser voluntaria. El pueblo es tranquilo, ideal para disfrutar del día, ya que casi no hay vida nocturna. No hay cajeros y todo funciona en efectivo! Muy agradecida ❤️
