I has such a wonderful experience here at the lodge! I would recommend to anyone who is looking for a low key, secluded place in this wonderful beach meets jungle oasis. Pau is so kind and accommodating you will love your stay here! Gracias por todo mi linda Pau!

Highly recommend spending some time at the lodge! The hours are fair, the tasks are easy, and there is a stunning beach just off the property that almost never had other people on it. Pau is an incredible host and will make you feel like family during your stay. I had the misfortune of getting quite sick with dengue while here and Pau and the rest of the volunteers took such good care of me and never made me feel like a burden when I wasn't physically able to work. The property is quite secluded from the town so if you're looking for a place to disconnect, this it it!

I had a beautiful time at the lodge. The property is stunning and Pau is a very kind and instructive host. It was cool working with new plants and animals, as well as learning how to be more sustainable. The work can be physically demanding but if you're into exercise and a healthy lifestyle, this is the place to be. The snorkelling and beaches around the property are out of this world!

Paulina is an exceptional person. So gentle and understanding. The place she is running is outstandingly beautiful. The beach when you walk out of the garden is like paradise. Make sure to buy food in Huatulco from time to time though because the little shops with fruits and veggies at the beach next to Cacalutilla (San Agustin) are very expensive. I would certainly recommend applying for the lodge if you are looking for a calm and beautiful place (where you sometimes feel like you're in a documentary of David Attenborough :)) with a very kind and overall great host.

It also happened to me that, for that reason, I decided to return for a second time to undertake another volunteering experience; the place is magical, the experience is enriching, and the people I met on each visit are something I will always remember
