Description
Hi, We are Simone and Carol
We are a hard worker Italian-Tico couple, which right now work everyday with the goal of make our place get better and better to give to our guests and volunteers a good memory to take back home and a great reason to come back and stay with us again.
We are 5 minutes away from downtown and Tamarindo beach, one of the most beautiful beaches of Costa Rica.
Tamarindo, special place to watch a stunning unforgettable sunset, enjoy an endless summer kind of life, swim and surf in one of the favorites surf spots of our country, meet great people, practice other languages, and make friends that come from all around the world.
Minimum age is 23, please don`t message if you`re younger than that, When you message us, put "PURA VIDA" as your first sentence so we can make sure you have read our profile description.
If you want to be a volunteer at our place, you can have all above, just need to love team work, be a proactive and easygoing person and speak Spanish and English and of course collaborate with us during 4 hours/day, 5 days/week and it would be better if you stayed a month or more.
Our Hostel property has beautiful swimming-pool, a secure parking lot, full equipped common kitchen, rancho with hammocks to chill out, spacious common full bathrooms, internet wifi, and a A/C Dorm.
We are also surrounded by beautiful almond trees and sometimes raccoons and iguanas. We hope you love nature.
We love good manners, happy faces, collaboration spirit, order and organization skills and humbles souls.
Thank you for taking your time to get to know a little about us! We will welcome you if you choose us.
Pura Vida from Tamarindo, Costa Rica!

Pretty light work, only 4hr/day and you get 2 consecutive days off (can travel nearby). Owners are flexible with off days and switching shifts as long as you communicate.

Sadly they didn't show up and didn't explain us at time neither. We were worry about their safety wondering what happened to them, finally after our messages they answered saying that they were taking some vacations what we don't have any problem about, but we could appreciated if they just let us know before.

Simone and Carol are also flexibel about the days off and they are welcoming to help you out if you need for example a… read more

Thank you Hostel & Surfcamp! I had a great time here, I met a lot of wonderful people, both guests and of course the other volunteers. The work is very fair, it's easy to understand your tasks and it's only 3 hours a day/ 5 days a week. I had a lot of time to surf, visit other places/beaches, practice Spanish and to hang out with all the amazing… read more

Simone and Carol are a kind couple and are often around. The atmosphere at the hostel is great and relaxed,… read more

I volunteered for two weeks at the beginning of February, and I loved my time in Tamarindo! I was provided a tent for accommodations, and Russ (manager) was more of a friend than a boss. If you're looking for a place to volunteer, then I can highly recommend the Eco hostel. Great energy/vibes, a true pura vida experience.
