The Experience

A beach front hostel in the Pacific Ocean with black sand beaches and a swimming pool. A great place for people to meet locals as well as people from all over the world. We are looking for fun energetic people who can make the place enjoyable for the guests and bring people together. Make sure that the bar and restaurant during the day or at night runs smoothly and make the guests feel welcome. Organize activities and have lots of fun :)

You're gonna have a great time at the hostel! Everyone is very welcoming and inclusive to everyone of all backgrounds. If you like to party, you will party harder than you ever have in your life. If you aren't a big party animal, this might not be the place for you. Maria and Ben are absolute legends and will go above and beyond for you as long as you work hard and respect management, the guests, and yourself.

I had an incredible 5 weeks at the hostel. The team of volunteers and managers were extremely welcoming and I felt part of the family from the very first day. The work was fairly easy with the odd crazy shift (usually dj nights) mixed in as well, but these were mostly fun. The food was delicious and housing comfy. All in all, I made amazing friends, had loads of fun and got to live right on the beach for over a month! I would highly recommend the hostel.

I had a really good time at the hostel. If you really like to socialize with people and to party then that is the perfect place. The team was amazing and i feel like i made life-long connections with some of the other volunteers. It is 6 hours per day, six days per week working, but the tasks are not to difficult and most of the time it is really fun. The hostel itself is beautiful with a pool and oceanview, the stuff dorms are not the best tho. Lots of love and thanks to all the great people i met in my time there. I will never forget it
