I had a great time at the lodge. The team is very friendly and helpful. I got good typical Costa Rican meals and a satisfactory accomodation. I served the meals for the guests, helped in the kitchen (dishes) and worked sometimes in the garden. It is wisely to speak intermediate Spanish and English to communicate with the team and the guests. You can go to this place by a taxi from Drake Bay or by Boat from Sierpe. You should like to stay in Nature and far away from a City.

The experience at the lodge was everything I was looking for in a Worldpackers experience. The place was amazing, the animals were beautiful to see, and the interactions with the guests were fun. However, most importantly, the people working here are really nice and welcoming, which was the best part of the stay. I would definitely recommend this place.

I had a wonderful time over there. This place is a true gem, its really a blessing just to be able to stay there. Everyone working there is very kind and welcoming, they make you feel like you are part of the family. They feed you 3x a day and the meals are pretty good, so this is definitely worth considering. The lodge attracts very friendly and open minded guests. I met so many beautiful people and had great conversations with them! There is also a ton of things to see and explore around the lodge during your free time. It was an amazing experience that I recommend to anyone.

You will arrive in Paradies! Everyone is welcoming and very friendly. You should really be able to speak Spanish at least on a basic level because the staff at the place does not speak any other language than Spanish. Only downside for some people might be that you are very, very far away from everything. Getting to the place takes a long trip and once you arrived there is no shop or anything like it around. So make sure you bring everything you need! For me it was perfect, can only recommend!
