I had a great time at the hostel, but keep in mind that it's very remote with little to do nearby unless you travel on your days off. The staff is sweet but integration and welcoming could be improved. They're mostly Spanish-speaking, which is great for practice, but the social vibe is limited as there are often few guests and not much interaction between staff. Food portions can be small with few vegetables, and the jungle cabana where you sleep is cool but can feel a bit unsafe because of animals. Work was mostly bar shifts and quite calm.

The vibe felt kind a off. The accommodation for the male staff is subpar at best and the steep path to get there is slippery as ice. All in all it just wasn't for me.

The hostel is a beautiful place, the view is truly insane! The staff was very nice and always treated me really well. Most of time i was doing bar, but some days they put me to do kitchen and cleaning, which wasn't on the description but was okay cuz it was specific days only. Food and cleaning could be improved but overall i had a great experience and was a great place to connect with myself and nature! Thank you all for having me 🫶🏻

The hostel is a real paradise with an incredible view on the Caribbean. The team is great and welcoming. It was like a home away from home for me. The work schedules were really nice because it allowed me to also discover other places. I would definitely recommend this place. The only thing to be aware of is that everything is outdoor.
