If there were 10 stars I would have entered them! It was a fantastic learning experience. I was there for 3 weeks in total. I learned so much about farm to table, how to recycle, the eco system, about the animals, the plants, Spanish lessons and much more. Rob has a lot of knowledge and is a great teacher with a lot of humour. Rebe is the best yoga teacher and cook the most delicious food. I loved the four dogs. The sunsets were amazing and i love the house, the beds were comfortable and i have never felt so at one with nature. Thank you so much for this incredibly unique experience. Big hug

Rebe, Rob and their lovely dogs made me feel at home immediately. Rob was very fast and clear in answering all my questions and he shares his knowledge with great passion. Rebe is an amazing cook, gives great yoga that will make you stronger and feel good after every session. They are easy to communicate with and will try to work with any feedback you give them! Know that it is a remote place and there is not alott to do around. But if you want to immerse with nature and have a family like experience then it is the place for you! It was a lott of fun and I am thankful for this experience:D

The eco village quickly become home! Each day brought a new and unique experience. The Finca as well as the nearby beach were breathtaking. The most memorable part of the trip was the hosts, Rob and Rebe, the most passionate and kind-hearted people. Rob is a gifted teacher who accompanies each task on the farm/Spanish lesson with lots of laughter and passion. Rebe is like a second mom - she cooks the most delicious vegetarian meals and brings light to your day through her peaceful yoga classes. An unforgettable experience that grew my passion for sustainability and brought new friendships.

I had such an amazing time here. Rob and Rebe went out of their way to make me feel at home and a part of the family. I greatly enjoyed the volunteer work which was often paired with educational lessons about the science behind what we were doing. You are surrounded by rainforest and can see so much wildlife around the property and during the short walk to the beach where we spent many of our afternoons. There are many local tours which I would recommend bringing cash for. I hope to come back someday and would highly recommend this experience. I am already missing the amazing meals!

This was the most amazing experience. Rob and Rebe are the loveliest people and ensure the feeling of a home away from home. I also learnt so much from this experience as they both make sure to educate you on everything they get you to do as well as lots of other general stuff. It's located right by the beach which I loved and this also provided the most amazing sunsets. You are surrounded by the jungle, getting to see super cool wildlife. I was well provided for with amazing food as well as yoga and Spanish lessons. I would definitely recommend this experience and will cherish it forever.

I stayed for 2 weeks at the eco village and I loved my time here! It felt like such a unique and inspiring place, a place I will never forget! If you are interested in sustainability and nature and would love to experience life in the jungle, away from the rushed life, this is your chance! I learned a lot during my stay and I felt like I had the ultimate Costa Rica experience. Waking up with bird and money sounds, walking with the dogs to the most beautiful beaches and rivers, coming home to the most delicious fresh meals from the best chef Rebe. I would definitely recommend this place!!

My stay at the eco village was wonderful. It was one of the most amazing experiences I have ever had. I'm grateful for getting to be a part of the eco village family, Rob and Rebe are the most caring hosts any volunteer could ever ask for. The farm is beautiful and cozy, being surrounded by wildlife. I felt like home when being there. Working hours are more than fair and tasks that need to be done vary a lot, which means you'll always be learning something new and never get bored. The way they live at Finca is incredibly sustainable and in harmony with nature — I found it very inspiring.

I loved being close to the beach and Rob and Rebe were great hosts! The food and accommodations were amazing! Worldpackers lists that the daily fee is $10 a day when it is actually $30. I personally believe that $30 is too high especially when we are also working. The fee goes directly into the farm as soon as you pay even though I was under the impression the fee is for food and accommodations. Many of the tasks are related to the hosts personal projects such as cleaning air bnbs and I would have loved more focus on sustainability and the farm. Overall I 100% recommended this experience!!

The eco village is a lovely place and I enjoyed my time there! In the morning you get to wake up to the sounds of the jungle :) the work load was very reasonable and flexible! Will miss the yoga, food, evenings with the other volunteers and of course the dogs (Bambi!!).

First time paying a little on top of the work exchange but I really enjoyed my time at the eco village and it was well worth it. Rob and Rebe are amazing and take time to help each person flourish. Helped creating content and taking photos for their social channels. Would definitely recommend for someone looking for a slower paced escape or to learn about sustainability.
