I had an amazing time here, Paciano was a great host and has had lots of interesting experiences, the work was fun and you finish early enough to go to the beach or the river or explore the local area after. The area is beautiful too and their house is surrounded by trees and all types of birds (that he can recognise and tell you about), plus you can eat fruit grown in their garden or found from trees in the local area.

When I arrived and saw the place, I felt it would be a great experience. The first thing I did was talk to Temo and immediately I realized what a great human being he is, always kind and with all kinds of advice to make your stay in the place nicer, I couldn't have asked for a better first experience than this, two minutes away you have a beautiful river and 5 minutes away the most beautiful beach I've seen in a long time, everyone is very friendly and the only thing I regret is not having could stay longer, everything is extraordinary and you will have an experience full of good memories.

Our time at the guest house well exceeded our expectations. Elsa and Paciano are incredible hosts, they both share an uplifting and homely energy. They made us feel like family and we hope to remain long term friends. We have thoroughly enjoyed getting to know not only them and their amazing place, but also the local community and, thanks to these guys, lots of history about Mexico. The tasks we got to take part in were interesting and there is always a great sense of team effort. Elsa topped off our days with incredible food aswell! We can't thank these guys enough. Much love to them ❤️

Loved loved loved our stay here! This is a genuine and authentic experience through and through. Elsa and Paciano are the most wonderful humans, the dogs are amazing. The landscape and adventures around this place are absolutely phenomenal and the small town disconnection was the perfect fit for us. Small walk to beautiful river swimming spot for after work and a beach only a few blocks away that is stunning and usually completely empty. They sure made our first world packers experience one to remember! Thank you guys so so much for everything.

I can not recommend Paciano and Elsa enough!!! We volunteered for one month and had the best time. So many adventures, family meals, great company, and they're place is beautiful. Many things to do in Costa de Oro- and if you like immersing yourself in a very small community filled with nature, this is the place to be. Thank you again Elsa and Paciano- we miss you already!!
