Description
Hi! I haven’t been on here in a while — hence the low reply rate — but don’t let that scare you off. We genuinely need help and love having good people around.
(Check the schedule for available months.)
We’re a small family-run property in Costa Rica — a hotel and coffee shop , built entirely by hand by my dad over the last 30 years. I run things mostly on my own and I’m looking for a self-reliant volunteer who can take things off my plate without needing much hand-holding :)
What we need:
• Someone with demonstrable social media or digital marketing experience.
• A genuine interest in productivity / optimization, helping streamline how we present ourselves online, increase visibility.
• Light hospitality tasks: greeting guests, helping with keys, turning on lights, general property awareness when I’m not around
• Maybe laundry and light household tasks as needed but little
• Pool upkeep
• If I’m away: welcoming guests, looking after the dogs, keeping an eye on things
We already have cleaning staff and a gardener.
Max 15 hours/week. Good vibes, no rush!
What you get:
Private room, fan, outdoor kitchen, pool, wifi, laundry, free coffee, and three very petable animals (2 dogs, 1 cat). We’re on the main road, 4km from the beach — bus every 15 minutes to everything!
Send us your social media profiles or past work and let’s see if it’s a match!

By far the chillest Workaway I’ve come across. It almost felt too good to be true (though I want to reassure you Julie's place is 100% real 😅).

She didn`t gave me a specific work schedule but she expected me to do some daily tasks such as turning on the lights during twilight and feeding the cat Grito. I also had the chance to create daily content for her Café and Boutique which is right… read more
