Description
Hello workawayers!
This is a unique hotel nestled at the edge of the jungle between the cities of Quepos and Manuel Antonio. Visiting the hotel is a wonderful opportunity, especially for those who want to see a little piece of everything Costa Rica offers. Volunteers are guaranteed to see monkeys, enjoy stunning hikes to secluded beaches, and can enjoy all that this unique part of the world has to offer!
We are a popular hotel and take pride in the service that we provide to guests from all around the world. During the high season especially, we often find ourselves fully booked. There is no shortage of tasks! That being said, there is always time for fun and we encourage volunteers to share their talents and ideas with us. If you’re interested in doing something special, we want to hear about it! Typical volunteer tasks include housekeeping, reception, laundry, painting, and gardening.
Volunteers are asked to work 5 days a week. Each shift is 5 hours a day or 6 hours a day with a 1-hour break (5 hours actively working). You will have 2 days off a week in a row. Days off generally stay the same week to week. We ask for a minimum stay of 4 weeks. Volunteer priority is given to those who can commit for longer periods of time.
Your perks as a volunteer include vegetarian food, dorm-style accommodation with comfy mattresses and linens (private rooms available for couples), access to the pool (open 24/7), on-site laundry, discounts on tours when possible and the beauty of the Costa Rican jungle! You will have more than enough food for 3 meals a day, however, if you would like something special like cheese or meat, you will need to purchase this yourself.
Please note that we have both reception shifts and housekeeping shifts. Due to the clients that we work with, it is required that you have a proficient level of English to work in the reception. If you speak additional languages such as German or French, this is also beneficial. We will still consider your application if you are learning English and offer you an environment to develop your language skills, however, your shifts may be limited to housekeeping and general maintenance tasks.
The property is non-smoking and non-vaping.
If this sounds like a good fit, please tell us a bit about yourself and your skills. We look forward to hearing from you!
Pura Vida!

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Volunteers share their workplace and the community with local Tico people. We have a team of 5 to 10 local staff, depends on the season, from maintenance, gardening, laundry, housekeepers, cook and waiter, you will have the chance to interact with them, learn Spanish with them and maybe teach them a bit of your own language. You can learn/practice your Spanish and seek to understand more about local ways of living. We hope volunteers can create a warm and welcoming space for all.

Accommodation
Each dorm accommodates 2 to 5 people.

Towels and bedding are provided with machine laundry on-site.
There is a shared kitchen for all volunteers. We provide plenty of vegetarian food to be prepared. Meat and other specialties can be purchased in town by yourself.
What else ...
In your free time, there are tons of things to do and see! The bus to Manuel Antonio is only 10 minutes and there you’ll find popular beaches, restaurants, and the famous Manuel Antonio National Park. Right outside our property are networks of hiking trails to Playa Matcha and other destinations. Quepos is also a short bus or walk to get any additional groceries/goodies you may want. The bus costs 385 CRC and takes you there in 5/10 minutes. The nearest beach is around 30 minutes hike from here. If you like to hike we recommend you to explore it!
We expect volunteers to dress appropriately during helping shifts, and to keep the shared kitchen and rooms clean. This is a place where our guests come to relax, unwind and connect with nature, it is not a party venue.
This is a non-smoking place, if you smoke, you need to go outside the premises! Make sure you throw away your cigarettes properly in a trashcan.

This host is perfect for people who want to enjoy nature, beaches and wildlife in Costa Rica. Many exotic animals live on the hotel grounds.

This place was my (Eileen, Flo wasn't with me) first Workaway experience and I absolutely loved it! Kala and Eduardo are great managers and warm people. They do everything they can to make this Workaway a positive experience for you. The daily tasks are well organised and you will be trained explicitly for the tasks you are assigned to. All of the… read more

It was my first workaway experience here and I totally loved it! Being in one of the most beautiful regions of costa rica while you work alongside fellower travelers created a comfortable work environment and was one of the greatest experiences I was able to earn so far.

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

This was my first workaway and it was an awesome experience! The work was fair and the managers Kala & Eduardo (wonderful people) were around to help out when needed. They always made sure we knew what was going on, and that we had everything we needed, and I can tell they both really care about the hotel. I worked at reception/housekeeping and… 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. You always take your breaks, because they watch out for that. In… read more

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

This workaway is really amazing. It was my first experiencie by this app and it couldnt be any better. Kala, Eduardo, Fabian, Beto and Roberto make me feel like home. The place is really nice with all the nature around, you can see monkeys, lapas, crabs and all kind of birds. There is a nice beach near by that you can go walking.

Isabelle and Nicolas were an absolute pleasure to host, they are such unique individuals that create a great team. Both of them always went above and beyond for our hotel. Always willing to help even if it wasn't asked or outside of their scheduled hours. Isabelle is very organized and good at keeping up in fast paced environments, Nicolas is… read more

We stayed for 3 weeks and really loved our experience there. Kala and Eduardo welcome us with open arms and felt part of the family straight away. We worked 5.5 hours a day with 2 30 minutes break but it was clear before we arrived. The work is easy and on quiet day we were able to finish earlier. We were taking care of the front desk,… read more

This was our first Workaway experience and we had a very good time. The work was fair and different from day to day so it never got boring. There were always little projects where we were able to help with. The staff is amazing. They always made sure that you were comfortable with your work and gave you Spanish lessons (or gallo pinto recipes) for… read more
