  Beschreibung

  From Minnesota, my husband and I recently bought a small 4-room boutique hotel on the beach in Las Peñitas, Nicaragua - a small fishing village that attracts surfers and visitors from all over the world, but has yet to become overly commercialized. We serve a diverse mix of national and international travelers - who speak mostly Spanish or English - with overnight stays in private rooms, an onsite restaurant/bar, and day pass use of our facilities.
  
  We live on the property from November through April and employ a handful of local staff to manage the hotel, provide outstanding customer service, cook, and clean all year round. We work together as a team to serve our guests and ensure the best possible vacation experience to travelers.
  
  We are looking for a volunteer (individual or couple) to live onsite and join our hospitality team in providing top-notch customer service with emphasis on English/Spanish translation. Depending on interest and skillset, volunteers may also be able to assist with special projects involving landscaping, light construction, marketing, etc. in exchange for a free place to stay. breakfast, and use of property amenities.

  Kultureller Austausch und Lernmöglichkeiten

  This small fishing village and surfing community on the northern pacific coast of Nicaragua is tropical paradise, rich with diversity that is still “off the grid” but attracts adventurous travelers and surfers from around the world. Spanish is the primary language spoken here, and most international travelers who visit our hotel speak English.
  
  Local people, expats, and travelers come together here to enjoy the beach, waves, estuaries, fishing, turtle release, yoga, massage, pickleball, nearby volcano boarding and hiking, fresh seafood, local beer, frozen cocktails, and beautiful sunsets. As you walk down the beach (or the one paved road that stretches only a few miles in total), you will pass unassuming personal vacation homes, hostels, small hotels, locally-owned restaurants, and surf schools on the beach. There are no hotel or restaurant chains, and very few structures higher than two stories. You will see cars, trucks, buses, motorcycles, bicycles, pedestrians, horse carts, and cattle on the roads - not usually in a hurry. One of the things we love most about living here is that it feels like you are going back in time.
  
  Leon is the closest city. An easy 20-minute “chicken bus” ride from the beach, it offers museums, cultural sites, historic Spanish colonial architecture, lots of restaurants and bars, markets, shopping, and entertainment. There are many opportunities to get involved in projects at local schools, churches, and medical facilities.

  We are a small, family owned operation, with a handful of local staff and owners who live on the property for part of the year. That said, the hotel is one of nicest and the most expensive places to stay on the beach, with only four rooms and a maximum capacity of 13 people per night. We intentionally keep our number of day pass visitors low to ensure an upscale, peaceful, relaxing vacation experience. We do not allow pets, loud music, or parties.
  
  There is so much to see and do in Las Penitas, Leon, and surrounding areas. Adventurous Workawayers will not be bored during their time off!. We have bicycles available for volunteer use. The bus to Leon leaves every hour and can be caught right outside our door for only C$18 (about $.50) per person. Taxi's are also easy to find.
  
  The cost of living in Nicaragua is lower than in most other countries, so living and traveling here is very affordable
