Description
Dear Adventurer,
WELCOME to our charming hotel and hostel, situated on the edge of the jungle between the lively towns of Quepos and Manuel Antonio National Park. This is an exceptional opportunity for anyone eager to immerse themselves in the incredible biodiversity and natural beauty of Costa Rica! As a volunteer with us, you can look forward to encountering playful monkeys, enjoying breathtaking hikes to secluded beaches, and truly embracing the magic of this extraordinary region.
Our popular hotel and cozy hostel (located just a short ten-minute walk apart) take great pride in offering exceptional service to guests from all corners of the globe. During peak season, our establishment often reaches full capacity, creating a vibrant and energetic atmosphere packed with activities to keep you engaged.
We ask volunteers to commit to five days a week, with shifts lasting either five or six hours (including a one-hour break for those on the five-hour shift). You’ll have two days off each week, and we aim to keep your time off consistent to help you make the most of your experience. A minimum four week commitment is required (additional weeks are appreciate), ensuring you have plenty of time to immerse yourself in this vibrant setting.
As a valued member of our volunteer family, you will enjoy some fantastic perks. These include:
* Air-Conditioned Rooms.
* Volunteer Kitchen.
* Hearty Vegetarian Meals (3); extras (cheese, meat) purchased by volunteer.
* Pools (2).
* On-Site Laundry.
* Tour Discounts (as arranged).
If you feel a connection to this opportunity, we would love to learn more about you and your skills. We look forward to your response and this exciting journey together. Join us in the jungle!

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
As a volunteer, you’ll immerse yourself in the vibrant workplace and community alongside friendly local Tico people. Our dedicated team ranges from 5 to 10 wonderful staff members, including maintenance crews, gardeners, housekeepers, cooks, and waitstaff, depending on the season.
This is a fantastic opportunity to connect, share languages, and learn Spanish while gaining insights into local culture. We’re excited for you to help create a warm and inviting environment for everyone involved. Join us in making meaningful connections and fostering a sense of community!
Help
We believe in a balance of hard work and enjoyable experiences, so we wholeheartedly encourage you to share your unique talents and creative ideas with us. You'll have a variety of tasks to lend a hand with, such as:
* Housekeeping: making beds, laundry and thoroughly cleaning rooms.
* IT: maintaining hardware/software for Wi-Fi, computers, cellular phones
* Maintenance: Basic maintenance of buildings (painting, plumbing, repairs) and beautifying our gardens.
* Reception : Help with check-ins and guest inquiries (English skills are a must).
* Social Media: promoting activities, events, special rates.
Please note, work may be multitasked and/or rotated weekly. Your contributions will make a real difference, and we can't wait to see what you will do in the jungle.
Languages
Languages spoken
English: Fluent
Spanish: FluentThis host offers a language exchange
To excel in our reception role, a strong command of English and Spanish is essential, and additional languages such as German or French would be useful. If you are currently learning English and/or Spanish, please don’t hesitate to apply; we still have opportunities available in housekeeping or general maintenance.
Accommodation
Our cozy air-conditioned dorms have a shower and comfortably house 2 - 5 people. We also have a few private rooms perfect for couples. To make your stay convenient, we provide towels and bedding, along with laundry facilities on-site.
Enjoy cooking in our dedicated volunteer kitchen, where you'll find plenty of vegetarian ingredients. If you crave meat or other specialties, feel free to explore local options.
A friendly reminder: our property is smoke-free and vape-free, but we do have a designated smoking area in the parking lot.
What else ...
During your free time, there’s an abundance of exciting activities and sights to explore! Just a quick 10-minute bus ride will take you to Manuel Antonio National Park, where you can enjoy stunning beaches, and delightful restaurants. Right outside our property, adventurous hiking trails lead to Playa La Macha and other scenic spots. Plus, a short bus ride or leisurely walk will bring you to Quepos for any groceries or treats you might desire. The bus fare is very affordable and it only takes about 5-10 minutes to reach your destination. If you love hiking, we highly recommend discovering the nearby trails, which lead to a string of beautiful beaches just a 30 or 40-minute trek away!
We’d love for our volunteers to dress comfortably and appropriately while on duty, and to help keep our shared kitchen and rooms tidy. Our space is a sanctuary where guests come to relax, unwind, and reconnect with nature – a peaceful retreat rather than a party venue. Happy exploring!

We spent one month in this magical place and we loved it. We felt like home. The job is various (housekeeping, breakfast, laundry, restaurant, reception, gardening) and we learned new competence.

I was staying here with a friend and we've had really great experience. The other Workawayers were really nice, the work was easy and fun (we usually had to work less than it says in the description, because we were there during the rainy season) and the nature around the Hostel was very beautiful. You can easily walk to Quepos or take the bus and… read more

I had a wonderful experience - I saw monkeys, iguanas, and parrots everyday at the hotel; there is a surfing beach a 10 minute bus ride away; it’s easy to explore surrounding areas like Jaco, Dominical, and Uvita by bus on your days off; Isabelle, Nico, Katy, Fabian, Bryan, Veronica, and Maria Jesus were welcoming, kind, and helpful. I mainly did… read more

We had a great time.
Isabell and Nico do a great job at managing the Hotel and take very well care of their volunteers. We did housekeeping, laundry, gardening reception, a little bit of maintenance and surely never felt bored. You really feel your work is needed, since the hotel depends on the workforce of volunteers.

Oh how I adore !! I stayed for two months and made life long friends. The work was fair especially with receiving food as part of the accommodation. I was able to become good friends with the local workers as well as make friends with locals outside. Wishing the best for the future!!

I had the chance to join this wonderful place pretty last minute because I had to cancel my previous place and I had no idea where I will land. This hotel was so much more than just a workaway. I've learned to much about the work in a hotel, with guests from all over the world, I could improve my Spanish AND my English. It was my first workaway… read more

I stayed here during my last three weeks in Costa Rica and it was a great experience working in this hotel. I was mainly at reception where I had to check in and help out guests in both English and Spanish, and I also did housekeeping. I worked about six hours a day with two breaks I could take whenever I wanted and had two days in a row off. The… read more

I had a very great time here! the managers (Kala and Eduardo) are very kind and cool people. You will probably either do housekeeping, helping at breakfast, reception or gardening tasks and all of that is nice work and not too hard. They really care about you and value your work.

Florencia is such a sweet soul and a joy to be around, we loved hosting her. She was here for just 10 days and I wish we could've kept her longer, she made such an impact even in that short amount of time. Florencia came to our hotel at one of the busiest time of the year and I don't think we would have made it through without her. She is a very… read more
