We loved our stay at the hostel! The hours were super easy and respected (either consisting of creating art/signs for the hostel, working reception and general tasks around the hostel or creating posts for their social media). The small, quiet town of El Gigante was the perfect place to relax!! Gracias Hernan and everyone we met during our stay, we had a blast!! ☺️

Gracias, the hostel! 🦎 Volunteering here was such a great experience. The owner is very flexible, always ready to help and full of tips on what's worth seeing nearby. The tasks were easy and the schedule left plenty of time for surfing and exploring. It's a tiny beach town, so you quickly get to know the locals and the area. There's always something fun for volunteers: burger and pizza nights, karaoke, trivia and more. The other volunteers welcomed me warmly from day one. the hostel by name, the hostel by nature. Highly recommend😆

Such a great first volunteer experience for me! Hernán made a lovely effort to make me feel comfortable in the hostel garobo from the beginning. Communication with him the guests and other volunteers in the hostel was always smooth. The amenities, ability to use surfboards and the location were perfect. Gigante has a nice social vibe with guests, volunteers and locals in the town. If you are looking for somewhere very the hostel in Nicaragua to spend some time and absorb the good vibes this is the place to be! Muchas gracias

El Gigante is such a magical place! It is very small and very laid back. Everyone feels like family and there is a great sense of community and great surfing. The work was easy and hours more than fair. The accommodation is good however it was very unclean when I arrived. Specially the bathroom which had mold and a horrible mildew smell.
