Caribbean vibe with private beach for lounging, swimming, snorkeling, and there are two dive shops in the area. The beach is beautiful and the surrounding jungle is full of animals such as monkeys, sloths, parrots, toucans, iguanas, frogs, anteaters, and more. There are also fresh tropical fruits that are available for picking year around.
You will get to explore the area, practice the language and meet a lot of people from all over the world that come through the resort while it is open.
Help
We are looking for help with many things.
Mainly we are looking for someone to help us beautify our small beach resort and help us create beautiful spaces for sitting, meditation, yoga, and exercising.
We can use help with:
- Website (wordpress) help and social media written content and photography
- Carpentry projects, renovation projects and DIY projects
- Expanding the garden and creating new garden places
- Landscaping around the resort. Planting beautiful flowers, trees, and fruiting plants.
- Beautifying the bungalows by refinishing and adding art
- Painting signs and information in an artistic way
- Help to create a natural pool and an outdoor gym
- Help to create areas for practicing meditation and yoga
- Help to create a wellness program for the resort or wellness retreats.
- Keeping the ocean/beaches clean of plastic
- I also would like a Spanish conversation partner. I'm am a beginner but getting closer to intermediate.
Other than that we are open to volunteers suggestions and help with any new project that will come.
