Superb! I couldn't recommend it more. It really is a private paradise, with lovely, creative hosts and plenty of VIP sun and ocean. Special thanks for trusting me with the garden work and letting me be part of the magic.

I had such a great experience at the lodge. The work expectations were fair there was enough time off and the hours were reasonable. the lodge is such a beautiful place to volunteer, you can really enjoy simple living and proximity to nature. Noe & Martin are very friendly, down-to-earth and easy to get along with! It's very easy to feel comfortable there. The tent was really comfortable and the kitchen facilities were good. For me, this was an experience to remember!

Katie was a very good volunteer, willing, very cooperative, cheerful and always had a spirit of community with everyone, both with other volunteers and with the guests. A great conversationalist, creating a joyful atmosphere, we highly recommend her to be part of any work team. It's a pleasure to work with her. We always look forward to having her with us.

My time and experience at the lodge was valuable. Noe and Martin are kind and passionate people who care about others as well as the business. I worked in the kitchen mostly prepping food for guests and making drinks. They will stay with you until you feel comfortable on your own. And even then, most of the time I had a second volunteer to work with. I also taught serval Yoga classes throughout my 3 weeks . There was mutual respect throughout and all lunches provided for us were made with care. I learned a lot here. I would highly reccomend volunteering here if you have the opportunity!

We stayed a whole month at the lodge last February. It is a place like paradise and directly located at the beach. The town with restaurants and shop is a 15 minute walk to get groceries or go for diner. The Surfspot and surfschool are also located within this walking distance. The work at this place is really clear with shifts from 10-3 and 3-20. There is a clear structure and the workload depends on the amount of guests at the place and the amount of rooms to clean. In overall there is never any stress and it is doable to get the work done and enough time to surf and chill.

I had an amazing time at the lodge. The house is in a fantastic location, with a view of the ocean (where you can even spot whales! 🐳). Chacahua is quite peaceful, there are a few supermarkets and restaurants, and I really loved the calm atmosphere. Surfing in Chacahua is also great! The line-up isn't super crowded, and the waves are beginner friendly! The work was fun and the working hours are clear: from 10 am to 3 pm, or from 3 pm to 8 pm. I liked the variety, I had 2 days with the morning shift and 3 days with the afternoon shift. Thank you Noe and Martin!
