My time at the lodge was so incredible, it was the best first WP job I could have hoped for! The place is beautiful and the waterfall on site is so amazing, you really get a chance to connect with nature here. I met so many amazing people from all over the world and practiced Spanish a lot! The hosts Lorena and Aurora are awesome people. I had so much fun cooking, learning new recipes, eating together and just laughing over the days' adventures. The work is pretty easy & Lorena was really accommodating of everyone's schedules, they're great hosts! I will cherish my time here forever.

I had such an amazing experience at the lodge! Lorena and her sister Aurora are very kind, flexible, good people. I loved getting to know them and the other volunteers that were there. This experience is great for anyone looking to really spend time in nature. The tasks are very reasonable (laundry, cooking, cleaning, etc.). I really got to practice my Spanish, learned so many new recipes, and met people from all over. The accommodations were completely reasonable but be aware that there are no pictures of them on their page.

I came to the lodge with my girlfriend and we stayed there for two weeks. It was a nice experience and a very calming environment where you can enjoy the nature and the beautiful waterfall. Lorena and Aurora are two very nice and friendly people that will help you and be sure to give you a good time there. They also made sure we got our two days off together so we could visit Dominical and the Nawyaca waterfall. The work itself is quite simple, you clean the rooms, cook dinner and stay at the reception. This ofcourse depends on how busy it is in the retreat! We really recommend!

Cascade the lodge is an incredible place! We loved to relax at the retreat and at the waterfall after working hours. Concerning the work, hours are well respected and the work is easy. Both Lorena and her sister Aurora are very friendly, helpful and flexible with working days/hours (also depends on how busy it is). We definitely recommend visiting, also because of the wonderful places nearby (Nauyaca waterfall, Manuel Antonio, Uvita…) to visit on your days off!!

The lodge was a nice place to stay at. I'd walk to the waterfall and do yoga every day, it was a nice and healthy lifestyle. There weren't any other volunteers when I was there so my free time was mostly solo and I'd socialize with some guests too. The cons were that workload was at times too tiresome and the lodge seems to be understaffed, there's not that much to do around the property and it's really hard to get in or out of there.
