We are located in the center of the town, close to every facilities (bus station, supermarket, bank...) 200 m from the National parkand the white sand beach and 10 min from the black sand beach.
We are ideally looking for a COUPLE to join and help us around the hotel but will consider TWO FRIENDS travelling together.

-We would prefer a couple or two friends travelling together,
- Good level in English and some Spanish skills would be ideal.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Volunteers will be able to enjoy the carribean lifestyle, surfing as well as discovering Cahuita and its beautiful national park and the surrounding area.
We have two dogs and also love to take them to the waterfalls and different beaches around and will be happy have you join us
Help
Volunteers will be working 4 to 5 hours a day, 5 days a week (2 days off together )
As we are looking for volunteers during low season most of the work will be maintenance and renovation around the cabinas
(painting, gardening, swimming pool maintenance, deep cleaning in the rooms) but also some reception desk time.
During high season : it will be mostly hours at the reception desk
sometime you will work on the same schedule then having your afternoon free (or morning)
together
but sometimes you will have to work on separate schedule to have some one available for costumers and for the reception

Their presence was highly enjoyable, and we shared memorable moments together playing board games
I wholeheartedly recommend these two.
