I had a incredible experience. The location is excellent, the beach is within walking distance, the bed is cozy, and the kitchen is perfect for preparing meals. Arturo, our host, is very flexible, and the tasks are easy to do. One thing to note is that there's a $5 per kilo laundry fee, but I prefer to do it myself to save money. I'd like to thank Arturo and his team for their attention and kindness. The other volunteers were also great to meet and hang out with. Thank you the hotel 🏡

My time at the hotel was truly enjoyable. On a daily basis, I interacted with guests at the reception, assisting them with any questions or needs they had. The location couldn't be better—right in the heart of Tamarindo, making it easy to connect with both locals and fellow travelers. It's a great spot if you're open to meeting new people while also having time to enjoy the beach, surf, and vibrant nightlife. A big thank you to Arturo and the entire the hotel team for making this experience memorable!

Great location just a few minutes from the beach and a lot of food and shopping options around, having a store right downstairs was also very convenient. AC is available but limited so it can be a bit hot sometimes. Arturo is very understanding as long as you are doing your part

Arturo fue un Host excepcional, es una persona responsable, respetuoso, ordenado y amable, siempre dispuesto a ayudarte y a resolver dudas . En su hostal me sentí como en mi propio hogar. Las responsabilidades y las horas de trabajo son claras, nunca vas a sentir que trabajas de más y además tienes flexibilidad para hacer pequeñas modificaciones de vez en cuando. Las instalaciones del hotel son buenas y yahaira siempre se ocupa de mantener todo limpio. Y por último la ubicación del hotel es PERFECTA! No te pierdas esta experiencia en el hotel. Pura vida 💕
