The Experience

Somos un proyecto ambiental y eco-hospedaje comprometido con la sostenibilidad, la economía circular y el desarrollo de nuestra comunidad local. No solo ofrecemos un refugio en la naturaleza, sino que transformamos recursos locales de manera responsable: producimos aceite de coco y derivados para productos de aseo, creamos artesanías en madera rescatada y diseñamos útiles e implementos a partir de materiales reciclados.

The volunteering was just amazing. The place is the most beautiful home I've ever had and directly at the beach. You can connect to Natur. The work was very easy and we could choose ourself, where we like to help. There was also good internet. The hostal has 3 friendly dogs and the owners are lovely people (like all the neighbors as well) Highly recommended if you are looking for a unique place where you can feel like home.

J'ai réalisé mon premier volontariat au l'éco-lodge et ce fut une très belle expérience ! Mes tâches consistaient principalement à nettoyer, peindre et redécorer le lieu. J'ai été vraiment très bien accueillie. Ce que j'ai particulièrement aimé, c'est que mon hôte m'a permis de découvrir la vraie vie caribéenne et sa culture. J'ai rencontré les voisins, ses amis et créé de très beaux liens sociaux. J'ai adoré ce mode de vie simple, naturel et chaleureux. Les gens sont devenus de vrais amis et je me réjouis déjà d'y retourner !

Las personas que hacen parte del proyecto y de la zona son amables y serviciales. Es un lugar apartado del pueblo, por lo tanto es natural, aunque la playa tiene mucha basura. Ir de compras puede ser complejo, ya que se necesita un transporte como carro o moto para ir. Por otro lado, el anfitrión puede mejorar su aseo y orden cotidiano. Así como mostrar interés para preparar y lavar los cuartos de los voluntarios.

Viajamos hasta el lugar con la intención de realizar el voluntariado, pero al llegar decidimos no continuar por las condiciones de higiene. Aunque Felipe fue muy amable previamente, el espacio para dormir no estaba preparado: sábanas sucias, almohadas con tierra, ropa, papeles y empaques por todas partes. El baño estaba muy sucio y lleno de orina por falta de agua. La cocina tenía comida podrida, suciedad y colillas. Entendemos que el proyecto está en construcción, pero debería garantizar condiciones mínimas de limpieza y habitabilidad antes de recibir voluntarios.

Pasamos dos semanas en the lodge y l'a experiencia fue ciertamente única. El lugar es espectacular y justo en frente de la playa pero es claramente en construcción y hay problemas frecuentes con agua/electricidad. Efectivamente no es un hostel pero un proyecto muy lindo de un centro cultural y artístico en construcción así que no hay huéspedes solo voluntarios y el proprietario. las tareas son muy tranquilas, más que nada mantener limpios los espacios comunes y ayudar a recuperar el lugar, fue completamente diferente de lo que me esperaba pero bien y tienen unos perros que son un amor!
