  Descripción

  Come volunteer at our beautiful hotel 1 minute walk to the palm tree lined beach of Dominical, on the Southern Pacific coast of Costa Rica. Dominical is a bustling beach town with 2 yoga studios, a brewery, art shops, a farmers market every Friday, holistic events, nice hikes, waterfalls, learn to surf and meet our lovely guests who come from all over the world!
  
  We are a 5 minute walk to the center of town which has a wide variety of restaurants, surf shops, night life, several supermarkets, an organic grocery store. Dominical is a mix of foreigners & locals so you get to experience authentic Costa Rican life all the while having an eclectic bustling town.
  
  Our hotel has 14 rooms and a large tropical garden full of trees, birds, toucans and sitting/eating areas. Our communal kitchen area is great for meeting other travelers, playing games, sharing tips, relaxing and enjoying your own cooked food.
  
  Our small hotel makes for an attractive place for people to volunteer not only because the setting & location is amazing but we have a laid back, culturally rich, happy environment.
  
  We are looking for a Receptionist position, so you need to be helpful, friendly, chatty is good and presentable. Its easy work and you can even do online classes or your nomad/online paid work during the hours as our guests are usually out adventuring during the day. We have fiber optic cable WiFi so our connect is great for you!
  Our time requirement is about 25 a week and we a prefer a 2 month (longer term ok too) commitment. You don't have to speak Spanish but its a plus, English a requirement.
  If you want to stay a while in a place to understand the culture, and actually Live in an area, not just pass though, this could be a nice opportunity for you! Pura Vida!

  Ayuda

  Volunteers should be honest, reliable, trustworthy and friendly. Personal responsibility & good communication are important.
  We would like help providing Reception Service to our guests: check-in, guest registration and providing information about our area. It's easy as we have an Activity Book made so you just guide them through it.
  You can make extra money selling tours and gaining a commission for setting them up! (it can be quite lucrative as it adds up!)
  
  English is required; basic Spanish a plus & other languages are appreciated.
  We have 2 cats onsite who are part of our team who appreciate cuddles & food.
  We already have a smooth-running hotel without many hiccups so joining our team wouldn't be too complicated.

  Algo más...

  We have a laid back environment but we do ask for personal responsibility and commitment. We are a family run hotel so we will rely on you to help us complete our daily tasks and have positive interactions with our guests.
  If surfing is your thing then you've come to the right place! In your free time you could go surfing, swimming, body boarding, sun tanning or relax in the hammocks and read a book.
  We will do our best and be flexible so you not only help us out but also Enjoy your time while you are here. I make the best effort so you have 2 consecutive days off at a time per week so you can go off for adventurers on your days off.
