Description
🌴 Hello Workawayers!
My name is Marco, and I’m originally from Québec, in French-speaking Canada. A few years ago, I decided to take a leap of faith and completely change my life. That’s how I ended up here, in beautiful Bocas del Toro, where I’ve been running my own guesthouse since 2015.
I live a peaceful, simple life — one that I’m happy to share with fellow travelers like you. My place is gay-friendly, laid-back, and all about enjoying the calm rhythm of island life.
Oh, and you’ll also meet my lovely dog, who’s sure to steal your heart the moment you arrive 🐾
I’m really looking forward to welcoming you into my little tropical world. Whether it’s lending a hand around the guesthouse or just soaking up the vibe of Bocas, your stay here will be filled with good memories, meaningful moments, and maybe even a few coconuts 🥥😉

👋 Hi everyone!
We’re looking for positive and dynamic people who speak both Spanish and English to join us at the guesthouse. Your main tasks would include helping with reception and serving breakfast, all while enjoying the good vibes of island life.
We ask for a minimum stay of one month, so you have time to settle in, get comfortable with the routines, and truly enjoy the full experience.
If you're friendly, responsible, and love meeting new people, we’d love to hear from you!

Accommodation
🏠 Accommodation
Workawayers are welcome to stay in the house, in a private space with a shared bathroom. This also applies to couples, as all rooms are equipped with double beds for extra comfort.
🍽️ Meals
Breakfast is included
Possibility to include additional meals depending on the arrangement
A supermarket is just a 5-minute walk from the house
A fully equipped guest kitchen is available for you to cook your own meals
🛏️ Sleeping arrangements
You’ll be staying in a small mezzanine space — simple, clean, cozy, and comfortable. It's compact but thoughtfully arranged to give you privacy and a good night's rest.
The indoor toilet is shared, and the showers are located on a beautiful terrace with a stunning view over the bay — the perfect way to start (or end) your day in the tropics 🌿🌊
What else ...
The ideal Workawayer would be someone who takes his job seriously and someone who I can really rely on.

Well, this reason is Marco.
OH MARCO!
Every single moment spent in his company is an emotional roller coaster ride. He can start the craziest party (and I mean literally, any moment) in no time, dragging you into it before you can even realize what is… read more
