This was my first volunteering experience and it was honestly amazing. The hostel is just a 5 minute walk from the beach and the room was comfortable. The food was good, sometimes a bit heavy on carbs, but overall fine. The staff were always friendly and welcoming. I made incredible friends that became a huge part of the experience. Surf lessons are also available and totally worth it. A few things could be clearer from the beginning, but everything was easy to talk through. Overall, an unforgettable experience and I am very grateful.

The hotel has incredible facilities, and the beach and sunset are amazing. However, staying there for two months seemed like a long time to me, since you have the same tasks as someone who is employed there, so it felt more like an internship. Sometimes they can demand a little too much from you because of this. The room was very good and so was the food. Finally, I met some incredible people who made my days there more enjoyable.

Stayung two months in the hotel was a mix of highs and lows. The place is beautiful, Playa Grande has one of the most stunning sunsets you can imagine. When surf lessons are available, you can join them, and the surf team are SUPER cool and very welcoming. However, the work feels more like an internship than a volunteer experience. You gonna have the same responsibilities than a hired bartender, with a high level of pressure and expectation. The room is good (2 people and with A/C) but small and the bathroom could be better.

El lugar es increible y el staff aún más. Se encuentra en un lugar tranquilo a 3 minutos de la playa con los mejores atardeceres. Tuve que acortar mi estancia por un problema médico y eso me dejó con ganas de disfrutar más del lugar, pero lo poco que estuve lo disfruté muchisimo. La gente local del lugar son muy agradables. Sin duda recomiendo 100% hacer este voluntariado.

My time at the hotel Playa Grande was unforgettable. From the first day, the warm and friendly staff made me feel at home. I grew, learned, made amazing friends, and developed new skills working as a bartender. The place is beautiful, full of good vibes, and every day felt like a new adventure—sunset swims, laughter, deep talks, and personal growth. the hotel gave me peace, clarity, and a sense of family I'll always cherish.

I loved the people I met at the hotel, both the staff and the guests made the experience really special. The location is also amazing, just a few minutes from the beach and surrounded by nature. However, the volunteer experience felt more like a work exchange, with unexpected tasks and responsibilities that weren't communicated upfront. The volunteer facilities could also be improved, the room was too small for two people and the bathroom lacked ventilation, making it constantly damp. Grateful for the connections, but there's definitely room to improve how the experience is organized.

Las habitaciones de voluntarios estaban llenas de moho, y cuando lo comunicamos no hicieron nada para arreglarlo, simplemente lo limpiaban con vinagre y el moho volvía a salir. La comida pésima, sin aporte nutricional, mucho arroz y frijoles y cosas fritas. Tienen una regla de que no puedes guardar tu comida por más de un día en el refrigerador, o la tiran. Es una lástima, porque playa grande es hermoso y conocí mucha gente increíble. Recomiendo the hotel como hotel, no como voluntariado.

One of my best experiences so far. Working at the hotel was a blast, the team is amazing and welcoming, they made me feel like home the moment I arrived. I was working with another volunteer either in the morning or evening. I came in low season, and although you would expect less, I couldnt have been happier, travelling with the team to Monteverde, or with friends to towns and surrounding beaches, going out to Tama! surfing, gym, etc. The place, the people and the ways of living, it is all magical and joyfull. Thank you all who made my stay unforgettable. I will come back soon. Os quiero!
