Beautiful guesthouse for solo or couple volunteers near buzzing Lagos

I'm a serial entrepreneuer with a compound of two houses and a pool near the buzzing town of Lagos, Portugal. Expect sunshine, beach, fun and if you are up to it learning how to run your own business. We do lots of sports such as fitness, kayaking, tennis and CrossFit and

We are very respectful people who work a lot and are very busy. Besides the project we'd love to get help around the house and expect the volunteers to do that without constantly being asked to. You will be rewarded with group events like beach excursions, surfing and more.

My time here has been truly wonderful, leaving me with a sense of not wanting to leave. Michael and Marcel have played a significant role in creating this incredible experience. I'm immensely grateful for their welcoming and comfortable presence. We've seamlessly adapted to this place, working diligently while also enjoying our leisure time together amidst the beautiful surroundings.

Overall, I had a good experience. Michael and Marcel were very kind and good vibes most of the time. I will say I did have to room with guys which was a bit of a surprise but I just as easily could have slept on the couch and it wasn’t a problem for me personally. Sometimes there was unclear communication from Michael about when we were to work and some uncomfortable moments in conversation. But overall I had a really fun time working on the projects and the accommodation is really nice.

It was in the description that it can be a mixed dorm which in our case was a big room previously used as an Airbnb with outstanding reviews.
Marcel and I were very easy on the volunteers and Meghan. We let them sleep to their preferred hours and instead of 5h only had 3hours work time. We worked on a trust basis which most other volunteers appreciated and did well with being proactive which Meghan lacked to be. Unless being micro-managed she would hang out by the pool or on the bed during work hours.

i really enjoyed this experience. however, i have to admit, i am a bit disappointed as i did not truly feel included in the program. when we did do business experience micheal would give us a task and leave us alone for hours. it truly made me upset to see on my last day micheal was collaborating more with the new volunteers than he had with me. or he would constantly mention the new volunteers that were coming and their work experience. i felt very unhelpful although i tried to be of use. i wish i had more experience but i am very grateful for the program. the beaches nearby are beautiful.

Thank you for the feedback. I wish you had communicated about your unease openly with me. Unfortunately, I don't have the capacities to work side by side much more. We went over the tasks prior and post execution and I was really delighted with your work. I talked about the upcoming new volunteers in the way that they would build upon what you have done. E.g., it was your analysis that made me truly distinguish on the target market. I am sorry that you perceived it differently.
I want to make clear though that all volunteers with their skills are highly appreciated. At no point did I feel that you were less valuable. I did not sense the unease in confidence and will try to be more conscious about it. You did a great job and above all what counts is work ethis which you surpassed in showing more than any other volunteers with more work experience. Keep that up and you will have a great carreer and wherever you go, you will be much appreciated - like you were here :)

This experience has been wonderful, so much that I'm leaving this place feeling like I didn't have enough time to explore and to embrace my daily life as part of a very comforting routine. This feeling I have is thanks to Michael and his brother Marcel. I'm extremely grateful for how they made me feel. Michael has made every effort since the very beginning to make me feel welcomed and comfortable. It hasn't been difficult at all to adapt to this place :). We have worked, but we've also made the most of our free time. The surrounding are beautiful, and some days we've done activities together.
