Description
Inspired by travelers and the most beautiful landscapes Nicaragua offers, our hostel opened its doors with the mission of connecting great people with each other and with the things they love.
Experience the Nica lifestyle:
Feel the breeze sitting on the back of a pick-up truck on the way to hidden beaches; catch the last wave of the day accompanied by a stunning sunset; grab ice-cold beers in one of the local bars; laugh and meet people at the family dinners in the hostel - these are all things that play a role in your experience of San Juan del Sur, our magical beach town.
At our hostel, we understand the love for travel, but we also understand the importance of once in a while, finding a place that feels like home. To surround yourself with people that feel like family. That is why we make sure that everything we offer, from the staff working by your side to homemade family dinners and beach parties, is catered to travelers who want a bed in a dorm and an experience of a lifetime.
We are looking for extroverts that love hanging out with people. Volunteers have specific tasks to do around the hostel, but their leading role is to create a welcoming vibe that makes the guests feel at home.
Looking forward to talking to you and see if we´re a good fit!
