Pura Vida the guest house is a really relaxed place. The people there were really warm und nice. I was also able to do my open water and advanced open water course for a good price in exchange for my work there. I worked 4 days during the morning and 2 days in the afternoon. During the morning you clean the house, the dorms/the 2 studios. During the afternoon you do check-ins and creative work like painting walls/making boards for the diving center/gardening or anything else that you see that might be good for the place. The host appreciates initiative from you a lot.

My experice at the guest house was one of a kind! Working with Sofia and the other volunteer Lily was truly an amazing experience. The work is not hard and the tasks are well explained. I learned more about how to do check in and cleaning and i loved interacting with the guests. Come with true will of work and help and you will be absolutely satisfied by your stay! This is such a magical place with a lot of activities to do like surfing, hiking and diving. The volunteers place is really nice and practical. If you are looking for a nice place to volunteer in Sagres this is the place.

I had an amazing time at the guest house. I've made friends for life. Learnt a lot and it was an incredible experience. The shifts were reasonable 5 hours a day with a lot of downtime. Sadly it was winter so I couldn't explore too much but I'll be visiting again. Host is great super friendly, and so is the house manager :)

This place is relaxed and you feel like home. It is a place where you can free your inner art skills and also where you can da lot of water sports such as surf and diving. The work is fair and the shifts good organised. You have lot of free time for visiting around and enjoy your days. I had a beautiful time here with the guests and the staff made of laughts and heartful moments! Very recommended to everyone!

The whole experience is good, because there is not a lot of work so you have free time to enjoy different activities. Is a small town but there are plenty of people going to the beach, so it's nice. And the whole team of cleaninf, volunteers and dive instructors made the place really special Note that not everything posted of discounts and free activities is really offered on site so you might want to double check with the manager before going, and the good thing is the manager is easy to talk to in case anything changes during your stay

Daniel was a very helpful and friendly volunteer. He was always available for our guests and showed great responsibility in everything he did. His positive attitude and willingness to assist made a real difference during his stay. It was a pleasure having him with us.
