Heaven on earth. I stayed here for 3 weeks. My first time in Brazil and this was an absolutely amazing welcome to the country. The staff are the sweetest! Angela made sure I had everything I needed and made sure I was comfortable every step of the way. I was able to progress with kitesurfing drastically thanks to the flexible hours they gave me according to the kiting conditions. They were very considerate. Unfortunately I had to leave a little earlier than planned to be able to spend holidays with friends before they left the country. And as understanding as they were, they let me go.

Nice place and friendly staff. The host is very kind and we got along ok, but I don't feel comfortable recommending others nor did I feel comfortable there. I'm grateful for the experience, but it was very challenging at times. I wish the owner all the best and I hope future volunteers have a better experience than I did. It helps if you are into kitesurfing..

Erik is a very friendly and intelligent person. I appreciated his general knowledge and am grateful for his commitment to the areas in which he liked to help.
However he seemed a little sad and I felt that he was looking for something that wasn't in our responsibility.
Sometimes certain people's energies don't match and it's a challenge for both parties to come to terms with that. That was our feeling with Erik.
Nevertheless, I wish Erik all the best and that his journey will bring him joy and happiness. I hope he finds what he needs to radiate inner contentment. And that he can bring a little more joy and lightness to his everyday life.

I had a great experience at the guest house. Jose and Teresa where in charge at that time, and I didn't have the opportunity to meet Angela at the place. They were super respectfull, good people, and thay aim volunteers to enjoy their time at the place all the day. The working hours were the agreed ones. I was at the bar and kitchen, so i learned new recipes and how to make caipirinhas. Beeing at the bar allows you to improve your english because the main clients are from europe. I specially recomend the experience to kitesurfers because is the vibre you will find there.

It's complicated, the place is perfect and the guests, employees and another volunteers as well but the host... I will not tell personal things but in general Angela is not a kind person to work, she don't understand anything about technical things and judge with the same way, and besides she start me to charge about my days there but in the end who owe me money is Angela because I put it everything of the website and webapp with my credit card and she not pay me back. I not recommend the position for who want to apply for a developer position.

Henrique seemed extremely lost and not at a good stage in his life. As a result, our experience was an absolute disaster and had a negative impact on our guests, the entire team and the workflow.

Not to be recommended at all!

I really enjoyed the time i spent in Ilha do guajiru. I met the nicest people I could have and i had so much fun during this month and half. The work is easy and you can rest enjoying the beautiful view in front of the pousada. Amazing and health vegan food all the time. Thanks for everything!!

If you like Kitesurfing and being close to the water, the guest house is the perfect location. I have thoroughly enjoyed getting to know all the staff, fellow volunteers and guests while volunteering in the bar and kitchen at the guest house. The place has a real friendly vibe.

I enjoyed the experience volunteering at the guest house because I learned new things and the work is very nice. The tasks can be varied like serving coconuts and caipirinhas at the bar or helping at the hostel's restaurant. By the way, the working hours are rewarded with the delicious food of the restaurant. The volunteers room is clean and has good beds. Highly recommended for the guest house surfers.

O lugar é muito bonito de natureza, me parece ideal pra quem faz a guest house surf. No meu caso fui pela experiência na cozinha, vale dizer que quem se aplica a essa vaga tem bastante trabalho se comparado as outras vagas. A experiência na cozinha foi ótima porque Leila é excelente cozinheira, conhecê-la foi sem dúvida a melhor parte desse voluntariado. José, o gerente nesse momento, trata todos com muito respeito. Infelizmente não posso dizer o mesmo sobre Ângela, a anfitriã, que poderia melhorar a comunicação e respeito. No geral foi uma boa experiência pelos pontos positivos com a equipe.
