The people were so kind and welcoming. Volunteering here is the perfect opportunity to meet locals, practice Spanish and explore the beautiful the lodge area. My tasks each day were helping serve breakfast or working in the reception in the afternoon. Thank you, Mauricio and everyone else, for being such good friends during my time here!

I had a great time. The host and co workers are very kind and if you speak spanish you can practice a lot. But in September there is not much to do, lucky that i met a lot of locals that showed me around The room was different from what i exptected but okay, since you can pass your time outside. The communication was sometimes difficult, because the tasks are not discussed and when people want to checkin or have some questions i always had to call the host.

My time in the hotel surely is unforgettable! Mauricio was really nice with us and made sure we saw everything there is to see. I would raccomend this experience especially if you want to connect with local people. During the day(and night😉) we had lots of free time to go to the beach, have a little hike in the nearby jungle and hang out with the friends we made. I'm really happy I had this experience and I would raccomend it to anyone!!! Thank you Mauricio for this experience and for all the times you made us laugh🥰🥰🥰. (And for finding out that Coke is good in some chicken recipes)
