My experience at the hotel wasn't very good. Gustava is a warm and friendly host, but I think he misunderstood my friendly approach, which made me feel uncomfortable. Additionally, it was extremely hot, and I wasn't allowed to use the air conditioning. Breakfast was self-service, I believe, because they only had eggs in the kitchen, but I only realized that later. Daily tasks were simple because there weren't many customers. I had plenty of free time outside of working hours. However, due to the issues I mentioned, I didn't feel safe and left early.

My time in the hotel was short but really nice. Gustavo is a really friendly and relaxed host who showed me around and introduced me to his friends. He respects the hours and you can workout a fittig workig schedule for you. He always made sure that I feel good and also helped me to discover the surroundings. the hotel is really beautiful and in your free time there is alot to do, for example snorkeling with really colorful fishes. Im going to miss it.

Gustavo is a host who takes very good care of the volunteers and always makes sure we are doing well. The schedule and the tasks are explained clearly; the hostel is small and quiet, so there is usually not much work. The area is safe and close to beaches, shops, and restaurants. I would recommend it to anyone looking to take a break from the city.
