Your project will determine what type of accommodations are available to you. Please review the chart at the bottom of each project description page for more information. The majority of our volunteers choose to stay in with a host family, as it provides a rich and rewarding experience. Most of our volunteers end up maintaining a life-long connection with their family after they depart. Hostel options, as well as upgrades to hotels and resorts are available in certain project locations. All of our host families are well screened for cleanliness, safety and friendliness. Room sizes and styles will vary from house to house but normally you will have your own private room with private bathroom. Some rooms have fans and television sets. Not all homes have hot water showers. Please inquire for more info. Some of our host families are Costa Rican and don’t speak any English. Other families are Caribbean and speak both English and Spanish. They are always glad to welcome our participants into

Generally, Maverick seeks out smaller but premier, very high quality accommodations. Typically we use four-star boutique hotels, searching for locally-owned, but modern and innovative hotels with great service.

Other trips may involve accommodations in private villas, vineyard estates or beautiful ranches.
