I had such a great time at the hostel's jungle hostel! I felt immediately welcomed by Pablo and the volunteers and overall it was a nice experience! The tasks were super fair and easy, doing reception and helping with the breakfast and laundry. It's 5 minutes walk to the town beach and approximately half an hour to playa Estero. Overall there is not too much going on, but you can perfectly enjoy the slow life and and be part of a hostel family :) I highly recommend it :)

I had a wonderful time at the hostel Jungle Hostel. It felt like home from the first second. The tasks were super fair and easy. In our free time, we went to the beach a lot to surf, snorkeling, etc. I met so many great people who made the time unforgettable. It was one of the best volunteer Jobs I've ever had, and I would definitely do it again! :)

I had a great time in Santa Catalina overall. My manager Pablo and the other volunteers were super nice and fun! That said, the organisation and management weren't great — no one knew I was coming, and at one point there were too many volunteers, so some had to sleep in a construction site. Others had their stays canceled last minute or cut short without prior notice, so reliability is definitely an issue. On the bright side the tasks were easy and enjoyable — mostly reception, breakfast, grocery shopping and helping around. The schedule was super flexible, and we could request days off.
