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)

It's difficult for me to sum up everything that happened at the hotel in just a few sentences. I volunteered for 2 weeks and it was an unforgettable experience. Mauricio is the most adorable and funny (sometimes ahah), it's thanks to him that I was able to discover the hotel but also to see this little paradise from a local point of view, to meet new friends, to discover the culture of Costa Rica . I'll never forget this experience! (as for Mauricio, he won't forget my crêpes). 😍🇫🇷

Hi Ladies. Thanks for helping us with our projet. It was a pleasure to have you down here. You two, Aga and you have become as a good friends. I will never forget the supreme pizza made by Agata and the delicous crepas that I have never tasted before in my life. Some improments, but good.

Staying in the hotel was very nice it is a really beautiful place. The locals were all very friendly and nice. Mauricio was very kind and accommodating. He went out of his way to take me new places. The work was really simple and easy but there was no training which made it a bit difficult to understand what they wanted. The room was not what I was expecting and there are no photos of it on the Worldpackers page, but it was private and comfortable. Overall it was a great time and I would recommend for anyone who loves nature, wants to speak Spanish, and wants to connect with locals.

I had an really great time at the hotel. Mauricio was very welcoming and nice. I only worked in the reception but I didn't get to learn much so It was difficult to help the guest when they had questions so I often had to call for help. Otherwise the work was done fast and I had a lot of time to explore the hotel. Mauricio was always letting me go with him and his friends everywhere and everyone was extremely nice. The room was not really what I expect to be honest but It was okey. I would really recommend going anyways.
