Description
Hi workawayers! 😊
Our lodge is located on a small island in the paradise of Bocas del Toro, right in between the jungle and the ocean. We have a huge water slide, a swimming pool and spacious social area where our guests have cocktails (& staff too! 🍹) while watching the most outstanding view.
We do not accept children at the Lodge (it is includes children behavior)
We are looking for workawayers to be part of the family! You will be helping us by doing some chores around the property and more importantly, by adding to the legendary vibe the Lodge is known for⚡. The rest of the time, you are free to use the pool, waterslide, kitchen, kayaks and everything else that we offer :) 🏊
We are a busy place, so you will have the chance to interact with so many people from different ages, backgrounds and parts of the world 🌎. You will be surrounded by nature, woken up by the sounds of the birds in the morning, watch the stars at night while having a chat with a random stranger you just met and you might even see some bioluminescence. This is the kind of experience that will create memories for a lifetime!

Only you need to connect with guest and organize that all of them are having fun including you!
In exchange, we offer accommodation in a four bed volunteer room (we usually have a total of 4 volunteers at a time) and use of the staff kitchen 🛏️🥄. We cannot offer food at the moment but you do get 50% off all food and drinks at the bar and 40% off on other locations that are close by.
