The hostel was an experience that I could have never imagined in my wildest dreams. After a short two week stay, I formed bonds with the staff and fellow volunteers that could last a lifetime. This was an amazing opportunity to practice Spanish on a day to day basis as well as learn about the local culture with full immersion. My dorm was sufficiently private, the ocean was always close by, and my experience in the kitchen was one of constant learning and lots of love. If you love being social and you're looking to make great friends, the hostel is the place for you.

Fácilmente podría quedarme una gran temporada de voluntaria en el hostel, no quería irme. Un lugar increíble donde puedes conectar con nuevas personas y contigo mismo. Me llevo en mi corazón amigos nuevos, historias, aprendizajes y muchas risas compartidas con cada personita de este hermosa lugar. ❤️🌊✨

Magnífico lugar, magníficas personas y filosofía contagiosa, muy contento por haber hecho parte de esta familia y aprender junto a ellos, me sentí muy acogido en este ambiente, selva, playa, fiesta, muchos nuevos amigos y paisajes increíbles. Muy recomendado; la comida es deliciosa, los animalitos adorables y las actividades muy diversas. 🫶🏼
