About the Program

Our idyllic hostel get away combines low-impact; natural living with projects that actively benefit the village. We work with the local community and surrounding areas to create and support social and environmental community-based programs; while providing a sustainable and positive eco-hostel destination for travellers and volunteers alike.

The hostel manager must be able to commit to a minimum of fourteen months; with a preference for longer commitments. You must speak advanced Spanish and be fluent in English. If you speak multiple languages; this is even better!

You should have an interest in eco-tourism; great people skills; and be willing to work ten+ hour days. You will be working a split shift with another manager; requiring a minimum 8 hour shift; 6 days per week. During busy season; there may be a need to work longer hours to keep up with demand. The ideal candidate will be highly organized and have no trouble communicating; reading; and writing in English and Spanish. We will give preference to applicants who have travelled extensively in Central America; understand hostel life; are comfortable living in the campo; and have management and/or hospitality experience. Surfers are encouraged to apply.

Your responsibilities will include day-to-day operations of running the hostel; including managing a 10-person staff; administrative duties; guest billing; guest relations; etc. You will be paid a monthly salary plus a share in the profits and on-site room and board are provided.
