I worked with social media during the off-season, it was a good experience, I was able to enjoy kayaking a lot, I made Muslim friends on the other side of the lagoon, I was able to go crab hunting with the locals at the hotel, and I had quality time to practice yoga.

Renu is one of the best host i have ever had. Comunication with him was always on top, he's always available to answer your questions and open to dialogue. We talked a lot about who to improve the resort's social media but also daily chatter. The accomodation in very nice, the kitchen staff is lovely and cook very yummy recipies. I felt appreciated by him and this encouraged me to work at my best. Thank u again Renu for having me, i wish u all the best :)

This was a really great experience! Renu and all the workers were really friendly and nice, most of them didn't speak English, but I was always well treated. The place is really nice and relaxing to stay. Specially since I went during low season. But I heard it get really busy during kitesurfing season! Over all a good experience!

I had a great experience in the Valampuri kite resort. Everyone was so friendly and willing to help. I hope that I helped with social media and guest relations. The place is so beautiful and the sunset is amazing. I could learn about local culture and enjoy life by the lagoon, kayaking, pool, slackline. It was the end of the kitesurfing season, but still worth it .
