    Description

    Welcome to our hotel - A Little Corner of Paradise to Share

    My name is Perrine (Erina here 😁), I am the hotel manager and your main contact.
    We are a French family who have been living on the Caribbean coast of Costa Rica for 7 years, in the charming village of Cahuita, known for its National Park, its wild beaches, and its unique Afro-Caribbean atmosphere. Here, life is sweet, between lush jungle, turquoise sea, a relaxed pace, and multicultural encounters.

    Our hotel is a family-run establishment on a human scale, with a capacity of 30 guests. We are committed to providing our guests with a warm, authentic, and relaxing stay, and we do everything we can to maintain a clean, pleasant, flowery, and vibrant environment.

    We are looking for friendly and motivated volunteers to help us keep this place running smoothly: gardening, maintenance, painting, DIY projects, welcoming guests, or providing online support, depending on the needs at hand.

    During peak season (January, February, March, April), the focus will primarily be on welcoming guests and handling reception duties, so we are looking for volunteers with some experience in the tourism or hospitality industry.

    By coming here, you'll discover a peaceful place, where you can improve your Spanish, chat with travelers from all over the world, share simple and sincere moments... and, above all, contribute to a vibrant, family-oriented project.

    If you're looking for a wonderful human experience in an exceptional natural setting, you're welcome!

    Bienvenue a l'hôtel - Un petit coin de paradis a partager

    Je m'appelle Perrine (Erina ici 😁), je suis la gérante de l'hôtel et votre référente principale.
    Nous sommes une famille française installée sur la cote caraïbe du Costa Rica depuis 7 ans, dans le charmant village de Cahuita, connu pour son Parc National, ses plages sauvages, et son ambiance afro caribéenne unique. Ici la vie se fait douce, entre jungle luxuriante, mer turquoise, rythme tranquille et rencontres multiculturelles.

    Notre hôtel est un établissement familial à taille humaine, avec une capacite d'accueil de 30 personnes. Nous avons a cœur d'offrir un séjour chaleureux, authentique et apaisant a nos voyageurs, et nous mettons tout en œuvre pour entretenir un lieu propre, agréable, fleuri et vivant.

    Nous avons 3 employés dans l'hôtel: 2 femmes de ménages et un jardiner.

    Nous recherchons des volontaires souriants et motivés pour nous aider à faire vivre ce lieu: jardinage, entretien, peinture, bricolage, accueil ou aide en ligne, selon les besoins du moment.
    En haute saison (janvier, fevrier, mars, avril), ce sera principalement de l'accueil clients, des receptions clients...ainsi nous recherchons des volontaires ayant un peu d'experience dans le domaine du tourisme ou de l'hôtellerie.

    En venant ici, vous découvrirez un lieu paisible, vous pourrez améliorer votre espagnol, discuter avec des voyageurs du monde entier, partager des moments simples et sinceres....et surtout, contribuer a un projet vivant et familial.
