Come and try the life in a tropical paradise, Bocas del Toro!

Being on the island was peaceful and grounding. The work was mostly independent—painting, keeping busy, and soaking in the quiet surroundings. It's a good opportunity if you're looking for a calm, nature-filled environment. I'd recommend it to anyone who enjoys solitude and simple living.

I had a great stay at the lodge. The managers and owners are super welcoming and helpful and good fun to work with. I did a mix of helping in the kitchen and painting the rooms, and the hours agreed on are respected. The volunteer house is nice, although could do with a bit of work, it's just really great having a whole house to share with the other volunteers. Just be mindful that you're far from the main town ! Although having the beach so close is worth it. I'd really recommend this work exchange and had a fantastic time :)

I had a great experience at the lodge. The work was as described and the hours were always respected. If you wanted to change your free day it was no problem. The owners and managers were very nice and helpful. You could always talk to them about anything. Rulo would also go to town with us and show us local culture and even went see a leatherback turtle lay eggs. My highlight of the whole stay. In general I would really recommend to stay here if you wanted to see wildlife. I saw monkeys, sloths, the hotel tucan Rio, mantas and even a shark while snorkelling at the property

I really enjoyed my stay at the lodge. The people were nice and the place is stunning! You're surrounded by nature and they even have a private beach. Also the working hours were well respected and the tasks were as previously agreed. Unfortunately I had to leave earlier, but if I would've had more time, I definitely stayed longer! Thank you for the experience!

My experience at the lodge was absolutely amazing. I felt very welcomed by everybody, learned a lot and had lots of fun. The work was quite easy and the hours were fair. A challenging aspect could be the distance from town but you can easily take a bike, bus or taxi. All in all I would recommend this to everyone you likes a mix between a quiet place, beautiful nature and fun island life… you might never want to go back(: You can also talk to the warmhearted indigenous people that work there and learn about their ways of living. I'll definitely come back to my new home across the world!

Apart from the lodge escondio being an incredibly pretty the lodge and in the absolutely prettiest place on earth, the managers and owners are awesome aswell! I felt appreciated at all times and had nice conversations with them. The new owners just took over and are in the process of changing a lot of things and were open to our ideas and opinions on stuff. The only downside was that the volunteer house is a little run down and not that comfortable, but I think that will improve soon. It was incredible all in all and I hope to return at some point! Thank you for everything! <3

My experience at the lodge was quite pleasant. They kept to the schedule, the tasks were not too heavy and I worked with very nice people. Iraina was the first one I met, she is the queen of the kitchen, she is the best at organizing and teaching. Rulo is cool, loyal, calm, fun, a friend for parties and work. Woody and Danielle are the owners and a nice couple. Woody has the best stories, the best adventures and Danielle is very energetic and she'll make sure you feel good. My only recommendation is to improve the roof of the rooms since sometimes there was bat poop on the beds.

The lodge is a really nice Hotel on Isla Cólon, in the Bocas del Toro Archipelago. The work hours are nice and the managers and owners you will work with are really friendly. A thing to keep in mind is that the Hotel is a bit outside of the town. This at least in my case led to often staying in close vicinity to the hotel which wasn't a problem because there is a nice beach with quite strong waves directly at the hotel and the wifi connection was fast and somewhat stable.
