Mi experiencia en la pousada fue excelente! Tanto que hasta decidí quedarme unas semanas más. La posada es increíble, la comida es deliciosa, y está en un lugar privilegiado. Las horas de trabajo fueron más de lo acordado, pero vale la pena, ya que los beneficios son muchos. Pude ir a varias clases de surf, todas las sesiones de yoga, aprovechar el tiempo libre para ir a hacer stand up a la laguna, y disfrutar de la playa con una vista maravillosa. Recomiendo para cualquiera que quiera tener una escapada saludable. Muchas gracias a Rachel, Fiapo, Beto y todo el equipo!! =) Gratidão

Minha experiência no host foi incrível! A pousada é ótima, cheia de atividades para fazer, e a equipe é igualmente grande, são todos profissionais e pessoas muito boas! Infelizmente não consegui ficar o tempo que quis, houve dias em que trabalhei mais horas do que o acordado e não tive descontos nas bebidas conforme prometido no perfil. A minha relação com o anfitrião era outra do que o esperado, em nenhum momento durante a minha estadia senti que ele era meu anfitrião. Sim, foi Rachel e Fiapo, que me guiaram o tempo todo que estive lá, muito obrigado para eles e para o resto da equipe!
