Marbely

Cleaning service

She is a very kind, trustworthy and cordial person. She has been helping us for several years to keep Perfect Sunset beautiful and clean. She is always willing to help and speak Spanish with the students.
She loves to dance and listen to music. It is very interesting to know her history and since she does not speak English you can ask her and practice Spanish

Alex

Gardener

You might wonder how to keep a place in the jungle habitable when nature is just doing its raw and wild things. Ask Alex! As our gardener he is bringing a nice and habitable surrounding to the hostel! You will not find yourself wiping out on some wet leaves and fallen palm branches will be gone before you notice. Thanks to Alex the place stays just the right amount of wild and the right amount of “aaah, nice”! When he is not taking care of the jungle garden you can find him hanging out with his friends on the beach.

Marvin

House Maintenance

It takes a whole team to run a place right by the jungle because nature doesn’t stop at the doorstep. To make the Perfect Sunset Hostel a safe and comfortable accommodation, Marvin is a central part of the equation. Marvin has grown accustomed to the place and its surroundings in the past ten years and can help with (nearly) everything. In his free time he likes to spend time with his family.
