Volunteering at the hostel is a good experience if you want to meet a lot of people and have plans every night

I had an amazing time working at the hostel! While the work can sometimes be quite demanding when the bar is busy, it is a super fun position! My favorite night to work was karaoke night (or the cooking class because the patacones are muy rico). I stayed at the hostel across the street, El Clan, and my shared room was very nice. On days I wasn't biking to the beach with the bikes provided by the hostel, I was hanging out at the hostel pool. I highly recommend this experience to anyone wanting to visit Puerto Viejo!

I had an amazing time volunteering at the hostel! The shifts were well organized, the people were great, and Puerto Viejo completely stole my heart. I'd stay longer if I could and can't wait to come back!
