My time at the lodge was so incredible, it was the best first WP job I could have hoped for! The place is beautiful and the waterfall on site is so amazing, you really get a chance to connect with nature here. I met so many amazing people from all over the world and practiced Spanish a lot! The hosts Lorena and Aurora are awesome people. I had so much fun cooking, learning new recipes, eating together and just laughing over the days' adventures. The work is pretty easy & Lorena was really accommodating of everyone's schedules, they're great hosts! I will cherish my time here forever.

I had such an amazing experience at the lodge! Lorena and her sister Aurora are very kind, flexible, good people. I loved getting to know them and the other volunteers that were there. This experience is great for anyone looking to really spend time in nature. The tasks are very reasonable (laundry, cooking, cleaning, etc.). I really got to practice my Spanish, learned so many new recipes, and met people from all over. The accommodations were completely reasonable but be aware that there are no pictures of them on their page.

I came to the lodge with my girlfriend and we stayed there for two weeks. It was a nice experience and a very calming environment where you can enjoy the nature and the beautiful waterfall. Lorena and Aurora are two very nice and friendly people that will help you and be sure to give you a good time there. They also made sure we got our two days off together so we could visit Dominical and the Nawyaca waterfall. The work itself is quite simple, you clean the rooms, cook dinner and stay at the reception. This ofcourse depends on how busy it is in the retreat! We really recommend!

Cascade the lodge is an incredible place! We loved to relax at the retreat and at the waterfall after working hours. Concerning the work, hours are well respected and the work is easy. Both Lorena and her sister Aurora are very friendly, helpful and flexible with working days/hours (also depends on how busy it is). We definitely recommend visiting, also because of the wonderful places nearby (Nauyaca waterfall, Manuel Antonio, Uvita…) to visit on your days off!!

The lodge was a nice place to stay at. I'd walk to the waterfall and do yoga every day, it was a nice and healthy lifestyle. There weren't any other volunteers when I was there so my free time was mostly solo and I'd socialize with some guests too. The cons were that workload was at times too tiresome and the lodge seems to be understaffed, there's not that much to do around the property and it's really hard to get in or out of there.

The place is beautiful. Lorena who leads the place are very nice. She could have thought through the work of a volunteer in a better way though, since there was no clear presentation of what I have to do (as well for other volunteers). I finally cancelled the stay because the bed I slept in was very stinky (probably moldy inside). Unfortunately, Lorena didn't even say goodbye even though I did a great job in those four days I was there. I was a little disappointed about that.

Dear volunteer, your work was never good, I was kind not to give a bad review on your profile, but how sad that just because I did not agree to give you a private room for you and your partner you speak very ugly. If you want privacy you are welcome as a guest, but if you apply as a volunteer you must follow the rules. good luck!

The lodge is a gorgeous place, full with amazing people. The work is quite easy (cleaning, laundry, cooking, reception) and I leant so much new recipes (and shared a lot! The rules was that each volunteers should share a recipe from their country). We sleep in tents, which I actually liked (can be closed which means no insects will sneak in...) and have a common area just for the volunteers. The rest of the property is awesome : middle of the jungle, a waterfall, coati, monkeys, capibaras, toucans and colibris... The only thing is that they are quite remote so we rely on taxi.

This was by far the best experience of my life! Lorena and her sister Aurora are amazing people, always super nice and friendly, they were always there for us trying to give us the best experience possible both at work, with flexible shifts, and during our free time. Together with the other volunteers Geogeo, Iris, Kevin and Marie, and with Copito and Papas we were all a big family. It's the best place you can ever choose to be in, beautiful environment, extraordinary people, I loved staying there and I strongly recommend going there to do this experience as well.

My time at the lodge was incredible. It was such a great opportunity to really get in touch the myself and nature again. The people I spent my time with here turned into a little family to me. Lorena the manager is absolutely amazing. She is a very kind hearted person and really makes an effort to make volunteers feel at home and comfortable. She is very understanding about the schedule so if you want a couple days off to go to a different town or something she would always try to accommodate! Everything on the property is beautiful from the mountain views to the waterfall.
