The experience here was okay but it is not what I was expecting based on the listing. When I arrived at the hotel where I thought I would be staying and volunteering they actually drove me about a mile to the other side of town to a small hostel that I was to stay and work at, it was nothing like the photos and the work was not in the cafe as I planned. Also the listing say that English and Spanish is spoken but really only French and Spanish so I would recommend updating that.

I am very happy to have found this volunteering opportunity. I had a wonderful and unforgettable experience here at the hotel! Puerto Lopez is very quiet and very safe. I loved it a lot. My tasks in this hotel were to clean the rooms, help with the social networks and help in the restaurant. And I loved doing them! The hosts were very kind and I felt very well received. Additionally, the schedule was very flexible. The food that Super Mamá prepared was delicious! I saw the humpback whales!!! :) I would like to come back here! Thank you very much!
