Friendly Glamping Site in Manuel Antonio Costa Rica!
I was a volunteer before, so I know what it's like to work as one. You can rest assured that I will be the best host of all!
What are the main tasks for volunteers?
Gardening, building paths, cooking, assisting with logistics, and brainstorming.
I like to exercise, surf, and do yoga, so if you enjoy that too, wooho! There are many fruits growing on the property for us to enjoy during our breakfasts :) I will do my best to make you feel like this is your home and that we are one big family :)

About the experience in: Quepos, Costa Rica
France
Mon expérience à La Comarca a été très riche et intense. J'ai rencontré beaucoup de volontaires différents, de nationalités différentes : ce fut des rencontres mémorables ! L'endroit est très immersif dans les montagnes et il y fait bon vivre. Le travail été assez simple, mais intéressent et très lié à l'entretient du Glamping. Le manager Marco est quelqu'un de bienveillant et généreux, j'ai également pu rencontré Alex (le propriétaire) qui est vraiment l'âme de la Comarca, il fait toujours de son mieux pour faire de notre expérience un moment spécial. Je recommande !

About the experience in: Quepos, Costa Rica

Recomiendo muchísimo este voluntariado, sobre todo si es tu primera experiencia. La comunidad que se crea es mágica y los anfitriones, Marco y Alex, son muy buena vibra y se preocupan por hacer tu estancia especial. Las tareas son sencillas, los horarios se respetan y son flexibles si quieres hacer actividades fuera. Tal vez las habitaciones no sean las más amplias o las mejor equipadas, pero eso fomenta a compartir más con los demás voluntarios.
PD: me faltó el enanooo

Mi experiencia fue genial! Estuve muy agusto y hicimos un grupo de voluntarios que se siente como familia! Las tareas diarias estan en una tabla en la cocina y luego hay mas tareas de la finca que varían segun el día, pero el trabajo no es difícil de hacer! El lugar es precioso y si buscas connectar con la naturaleza es tu lugar. Hay que tener en cuenta que para ir a Quepos hay que andar media hora hasta el bus que te lleva porque el coche esta roto.
La vibra del lugar es muy buena y estuve agusto , además hay caminos, rio y cascadas por la zona.
Mejoraria los dormitorios (small)
Gracias!😊

I had a truly great time with the other volunteers – we became like a family, and these connections made my stay so special!
The work was enjoyable, and the 3-hour schedule was respected.
However, during my stay Alex was away, and Marco was in charge. Some volunteers including me experienced issues with his demands and lack of organization. As an English speaker with limited Spanish, I often felt left out of important information, even when I mentioned it many times.On my departure day, Marco didn’t say goodbye, which left me feeling unappreciated despite the many positive moments of my stay.

I’m sorry you didn’t consider that the night before your departure the truck broke down, I lost my backpack, and still stayed with you until 2 a.m. even though I had to work the next day. You left early, and although I sent you a goodbye message, I never got a reply.
I always tried to speak in English and shared everything in both languages in the group.
I regret your frustration and truly hope you enjoy the rest of your journey.

I enjoyed my time at La Comarca and the property is beautiful. The tasks themselves aren’t too difficult, but there were some issues. We weren’t staying with Alex, the owner. Instead, his best friend Marco was running the place while Alex is gone. Marco is a great guy and he’s trying his best, but I feel like we were taken advantage of. A lot of things on Worldpackers weren’t the reality, like for example the workload and the amount of freedom we had. Overall still a good experience though

Thanks a lot for sharing your experience and for enjoying the beauty of La Comarca 🌿. The 3-hour schedule was always respected, and volunteers were free to use their time as they wished. I only asked that not everyone left at the same time, so the place wouldn’t be completely empty. This way, everyone kept their freedom while also helping us stay organized.
