Housing options


Starting in February, 2023, the Amigos de los NiƱos began providing housing at the RIU Palace Resort. This is an all-inclusive resort so that the volunteers who are housed there will have all meals and drinks provided at no cost. It is very important to understand that the ADLN only provides housing for the true dental professionals who will be working on the project.

 

Because some volunteers want to bring family members to see what volunteer work is all about, you must understand that the ADLN will not pay for what can be considered a family vacation. Please respect this. There are several hotels that are possible places to stay and it is largely dependent on room availability. Some suggested options include: Hotel Medano, Playa Grande Resort or the RIU Palace Resort (at you own expense)  At the Hotel Medano rooms are like hotel rooms and breakfast is included with the rooms. Here are the websites so you can see the three that are currently being considered:

The Medano Hotel has often been used for volunteers, but it has become more popular and is sometimes not available for the volunteers.

Some people choose to stay at the resort where my wife and I normally stay. We have had a timeshare at Playa Grande for many years and it is a substantial step up from the Medano. If you opt to stay at Playa Grande, it is entirely at your own expense. There is no funding for this. At Playa Grande, there is a beach, a spa, several pools, two hot tubs and a well-equipped fitness center. Depending on the time of year you choose to participate, the rates vary. Please understand that I am neither suggesting that you should stay at PG nor that theMedano is inadequate. It is simply an option. Here is the link to Playa Grande:

For the RIU Palace, it may be more expensive because it is all-inclusive:

Finally, some volunteers have chosen to find a place of their own. I have no recommendations for this, but merely telling you that if the Medano, Playa Grande  or RIU Palace do not meet your needs, you are free to find a place of your own. Once again, the non-profit will not provide funding for this.
