Volunteering at the hostel was my first experience with WP, and I couldn't be happier with my choice. Everyone was incredibly kind and welcoming. I made amazing friendships and unforgettable memories — it truly felt like home. The work behind the bar is easy and you'll pick it up in no time. Even with the shifts, there's plenty of time to explore the town and relax on the beautiful beach. I honestly can't recommend this place enough!

I had a wonderful experience at the hostel! Everyone was super nice and welcoming, I made some really good friends and truly felt like home there. The location is perfect and super close to the most beautiful beach. I also really enjoyed working behind the bar since it was a great way to get to know the locals, improve my spanish and learn some tico words. I will miss this place. Gracias Fernando! A Cachete🤙🏼

The location is beautiful, facility is clean and work is fun, clearly communicated and good benefits. They provide everything you need and you feel very welcomed and taken care of. They invited me to really be part of the hostel and also the everyday life of the place. Big plus is the yoga studio and teacher, as well as the people you are working with in the bar! A big challenge was one of the guys in the kitchen who was crossing my boundaries at the beginning of the stay, and I did not feel comfortable enough to tell the manager. However, the time here was really special and beautiful.

I loved it! Fernando was very friendly, accommodating, and flexible when needed. I got there during the storm, so there were some humidity issues but we worked through it. The place is beautiful, the beach although it's a little tricky to get them to let you in as a local, is the most gorgeous thing. Everywhere was accessible with the bike. The locals are very nice, the volunteers I met were amazing, aswell as the overall team. The cooks, bartender, maintenance guy, owner, and dogs were very fun to work with. The only unpleasant person was the cleaning girl but other than that it was perfect.
