This was my first experience with Worldpackers, and I was delighted. While things didn't go exactly as planned, it was still a wonderful experience. Saul is an incredibly warm and kind person who welcomed me with great hospitality. He showed me around, explained everything thoroughly, and provided comfortable accommodations along with the best suggestions for spending my time. I had an amazing opportunity to create beautiful content, which I will be sharing with the team to work on. I was absolutely thrilled with the collaboration! Thank you!

I stayed at the hotel for two and a half weeks and I really enjoyed my stay there. Saul and the other workers at the hotel are really friendly and helped me to get to know La Fortuna. The work is really easy and it was fun to work with the other workers. It never really felt like working :) The food is amazing!! Would recommend going there to everyone!

Overall, my time here was less than ideal. The host was nice and welcoming, but there were many things that I wouldn't recommend. The tasks were not as agreed upon. I signed up for social media and digital work and they had me doing dishes and laundry. However, there were only 2-3 hours of work to be done per day. Also, I had to cut my stay short because the room that they put the volunteers in is not sanitary at all. The room and shower were moldy, there is no air conditioning, and the windows are open air so there were lizards and bugs crawling all around the room.

The host and everyone working there were lovely, but I had to leave after one night. The room they gave me was damp and mouldy and I was worried about breathing in the mould. The host didn't help and so I left as I couldn't stay in the room more than 1 night. The work wasn't what was advertised, it said reception, bar and party promoter but in reality I helped a little with food prep but the majority was washing dishes. Also you work more than what is said. Host is also wasn't great at communicating before I arrived

Eu gostei muito da experiência, porque as tarefas são simples, eu pratiquei espanhol, meu horário era muito flexível e as piscinas termais são uma delícia! A vista do hotel é linda e os colaboradores da empresa são amigáveis. Recomendo!
