I had the most wonderful time at Ulrich’s and Liz’s Lodge in paradise!
Since they only live there for a few months each year, my job was to welcome guests, show them around, connect them with each other, and make sure they felt at home. I also helped with small tasks like fixing things and taking photos.

We can't say enough good things about Nikitta and Mercedes! They initially came on board to help us with doing guest welcome tours at our off-grid eco-retreat in Panama, but were so responsible that we extended the Workaway and entrusted them with managing our guests while we were away. They offer the perfect balance of being conscientious, warm,… read more

Wow, wow, wow. I can’t say enough good things about this “renaissance couple.” Between them, Eddy and Laura can tackle anything – from complex construction projects to preparing restaurant-quality breakfasts and customer service.

We can’t say enough positive things about Judit and Adria.

We had a wonderful experience here. Ulrich and Elisabeth were amazing hosts and took time to explain us the various projects which were all very interesting. The place is a paradise on earth... the chefs were so talented and cooked us delicious meals everyday.
We will definitely come back! Thanks for everything :)

This is an amazing place. It is like a paradise. Very quiet and beautiful. You can see there dolphins every day, often slots and breathtaking underwater life anytime you like to. After a while we forgot that the rest of the world is even exiting. If you will be lucky to come to this place you will never forget it!
