Loved my stay at la finca! the place was amazing, surrounded by beautiful jungle and peaceful nature. the house had everything we needed: a clean and complete bathroom, a spotless kitchen, and a very comfortable room. our host, Gean, was kind, welcoming, and always available to help. the tasks he assigned were easy and enjoyable, and he was always very appreciative. thank you for everything!

I stayed at the lodge for 3 weeks and had a great time there. It's a beautiful lodge, located in the jungle of Puerto-Viejo. Work was pretty easy and the agreed upon hours were absolutely respected. Gean, the host, made a lot of effort to make me feel welcomed and at home. I definitely would recommend staying there :)

We really enjoyed our stay with Gean and the family. He was very friendly and communicated well in English for us as we were learning a little Spanish day by day. The surrounding finca is really beautiful. We enjoyed our tasks of painting and gardening.

I really liked the finca especially gean and veronique who let me felt very welcomed. they always made sure that things are going well. my problem was that the finca is located too far away of the beach and the village thats why I had to end my visit there after a few days. but it's a wonderful experience in nature and I would recommend the finca who love nature.

We stayed at the Finca for almost four weeks and it was a wonderful experience. Me and my boyfriend had our own little house in the middle of the rainforest and even had a kitchen and bathroom all to ourselves. We encountered a lot of animals like monkeys, sloths and toucans on the property and felt very connected to nature. Everybody here was absolutely amazing and made us feel at home. Work was easy and we never had to work more than the agreed upon time, sometimes even less. All in all we had a great time and would totally recommend a stay at La the lodge! Thank you for everything :)
