From the second we stepped off the plane in Drake Bay, Rob & Rebe welcomed us with open arms. The week was filled with the perfect balance of teaching, learning, working & free time - Rob & Rebe made every activity fun and I felt as though I walked away from this experience with so much new knowledge and appreciation. Staying at the eco village is truly a one of kind experience that I would recommend to anyone & everyone! Thank you to Rebe & Rob for being such incredible hosts & for creating a space that is so warm, welcoming & creative.

The eco village is an absolutely amazing place! It is full of so much natural beauty and you are constantly immersed in nature. Rob and Rebe are absolutely amazing hosts! They were extremely welcoming and accommodating. The food is delicious and Rebe works with you to make sure you enjoy every meal. You also learn so much about the local animals and plants! Rob is a great teacher. I would highly recommend volunteering here!!

My time in CR was life-changing. Rebe and Rob welcomed me with open arms, showing incredible kindness and trust. I'm deeply grateful for the opportunities they gave me. Cooking plant-based meals with Rebe was an honor, and the night patrols, where we relocated sea turtle eggs to a safe hatchery, were fascinating. Contributing to animal welfare gave me a profound sense of purpose. Swimming with sea turtles during a snorkeling tour was unforgettable. Before arriving, I was at a low point, but the people I met there restored my hope and helped me heal. It was truly the best time of my life!<3

The eco village is a true oasis and provides an authentic way to experience Costa Rica. Rob and Rebe are welcoming hosts who are dedicated to their mission of creating a sustainable eco-village, and it was lovely to have the opportunity to participate with them in their vision. I enjoyed being very close to nature and wildlife, practicing Spanish and helping construct the neighbor's house with Rob, relaxing in the hammocks, playing volleyball at the beach with the dogs and fellow volunteers -- some of whom have become very close friends. This was a memorable experience that I will cherish!

The eco village is an absolute nature oasis. The location and setting is so pretty with a quick walk to the beach! Rob and Rebe are the best hosts! The passion they have for their place and surroundings show. The food is incredible! The work hours are so relaxed and you have plenty of time to learn and relax. We were lucky enough to see so much wildlife including a turtle! The sleeping roundhouse is awesome and I felt so safe in the mosquito net. Definitely recommend 👏🏽

This place is amazing! The owners Rob & Rebe truly make the place what it is. The hospitality, facilities, and overall program were perfectly planned out making the stay extremely comfortable and fun! Rebe has a true passion for cooking, using fresh ingredients from the farm to make delicious vegetarian meals every day. We were always looking forward to the next meal. Rob provided the knowledge about what, why, and how they are protecting the turtles and other life within Drake Bay. Showing us how to live sustainably yet comfortably. Alongside making us laugh every day Highly recommend!
