Our experience at the eco village was nothing short of magical. From the serene location on the coast of the Osa Peninsula, to the incredible founders of this little slice of heaven, we truly could not have asked for more. Rob and Rebe are truly incredible and inspiring human beings, that empower others to make impactful changes to both their health and the environment. The activities coordinator, Anna, is extremely knowledgeable, bright and over all an extraordinary light. Getting to be apart of their family during our stay, and everything they taught us, will live with us forever.

This place was nothing short of amazing. Truly the most special place and if you have the chance to stay at Rob and Rene's finca you should absolutely take it. You live a slow and peaceful lifestyle there. Wake up to the sounds of birds and monkeys and eat food from the ground with love. Such a nice location, away from the hustle and busyness of life and close to the beach and jungle. At first I was worried about only eating vegetarian but i NEVER had a bad meal. Food was delicious! My girlfriend and I had the best time. Shout out to Anna who works there as well, she's the best!

Felt welcomed and enjoyed the great food and nature! As a kitchen hand, shifts varied—sometimes covering all meals Breakfast 7–9am Lunch 10:30–1:30pm Dinner 5:30–8pm Often worked over 30 hrs/week 5hrs/day and didn't get a full day off until I asked. Free time was limited, and being remote (store=45 min walk), it was hard to explore. I wish there was more cultural exchange. Most reviews seem to reflect retreat guests, not volunteers, and may not accurately describe working here. Keep that in mind when considering this opportunity. Summary: Fun but felt like a full time job

Wow! What an amazing experience the eco village is—I couldn't recommend it more. Rebe and Rob are the loveliest people, making me feel like family and so at home. The food was incredible, and I learned so much cooking alongside Rebe. The wildlife and nature here are absolutely breathtaking, and with Rob's knowledge, there's so much to discover and appreciate. Thank you for giving me the best possible start to my travelling journey—I'll definitely be back! 🧡

The eco village was the best place for my first volunteer trip experience. Rob and Rebe were so welcoming, inclusive, friendly and respectful. They made us all feel like family from the moment we met them. Rob is so knowledgeable on sustainability, the area, the culture, and so many other things. Rebe is also very knowledgeable on the food she cooks, and is SO good at what she cooks! The overall experience was enlightening as someone who isn't involved with science or biology. It opened my eyes up to what the world could be if we took better care. I would def go back!

This was truly a once and a lifetime experience I recommend for everyone! Rebe and Rob are two of the kindest people I have ever met, with welcoming hugs and teachings. Their eco village is also GORGEOUS with stunning views and a short walk to the beach. I learned so much about sustainability and sea turtle conservation, with the chance to even hold baby sea turtles! If you want a truly amazing experience, volunteer here :)

I can't put into words how special this experience is. First of all, Rob and Rene are fantastic hosts! They went above and beyond to make me feel safe and welcome. The meals were made with such care and love. I felt like I was visiting family. The facilities were amazing! Getting to sleep surrounded by nature was incredibly relaxing and just what my soul needed. The learning aspect of the trip really rounded out the unique experience. Getting to learn sustainability and give back to the environment and have a purpose for travel allowed me to grow as a person. I'm definitely returning!

My experience at the eco village couldn't have been better. Rebe and Rob, the hosts, make you feel at home from the moment you arrive. The beach is just a 10-minute walk with incredible views of nature and stunning sunsets. The food is super healthy and delicious, and the group I was with was so much fun—people I hope to meet up with again around the world. Sleeping and waking up in nature made me rethink what I want for my future. Helping with sea turtle conservation is something I'll never forget, really! I recommend this experience to everyone, and I really hope to go back one day!
