This is a beachfront, jungle-shrouded hostel and turtle-conversation project, beloved by travelers for the relaxed atmosphere, home-cooked meals and proximity to local wildlife. The activity of choice is relaxing in a hammock as exotic birds and monkeys stop by, though hanging at the beach, hiking and visiting waterfalls are also popular.
Dorms are basic but adequate, and there's no wi-fi whatsoever, which is pretty fantastic.
Turtle-project volunteers are accepted to excavate nests, rebury eggs, input data, patrol the beach, do hatchery maintenance and participate in turtle releases. Volunteers work six hours a day and pay US$35 per night for a room and full board.
