I spent the first month of my trip in Mexico here and I couldn't have chosen a better experience. Being a smaller number of volunteers compared to large facilities, real relationships are formed and you connect with the culture of each person. Even with the hostel's guests, real connections were often made. Cyrill, the owner, is down-to-earth and available; this makes the environment very family-friendly and fun. The work and the hours are well divided throughout the week and the location is strategic for nightlife, but not only. Surely Terrazica has a place in my heart ❤️

My experience at this hostel has been very nice; Cyrill is a good person, kind, approachable, respectful, and a good boss, he is always attentive to the details and to making sure everything is fine. The work is easy to understand and to carry out.
I have met incredible people at the hostel, and living with everyone has always been very good; the location is really good since it's right by the beach and close to everything, from the nightlife scene such as clubs to the surfing and beach atmosphere :) This has been an experience I will remember with a lot of affection 💗

I had a great experience at TerraZica, I met a lot of people, I was able to socialize and make friends with my fellow guests, with the host, and with some of the guests, the view from the terrace is beautiful and I really enjoyed my stay. It was amazing!!! I can't wait to come back ❤️ Thanks :) See you soon

Listening to the waves of the sea during the stay is priceless; what a joy to immerse yourself in the port's culture and to discover different ways of living.
Thank you, Cyrill, for the opportunity, for your warmth, and for how approachable you are. Blessings.
Unforgettable experience.
