Program Details
Casa Samay Cozumel is a small hostel characterized by its peacefulness
and exceptional cleanliness.
It has 3 private rooms and two shared bedrooms. One female and one mixed.
A bed on top of a bunk bed in the mixed dorm is where the volunteer sleeps. (The mixed dorm is only 4 beds)
We're seeking a RESPONSIBLE, proactive individual with strong cleanliness habits who seeks a relaxed environment to unwind. Must be outdoorsy, ocean-loving, and enjoy meeting people from around the globe. Ability to drive stick shift is essential.
Upon your arrival, we'll welcome you, give you a tour of the house, and provide detailed explanations of the activities. We're readily available for any questions or concerns and will offer tips on discovering the best spots on the island. Prior to your approval, we'll schedule a video call to discuss responsibilities and expectations.
Activities & Shift
Your morning activities start at 9:00am, wrapping up by 1:00 pm when guests head off for their excursions/tours. Various tasks are involved, such as general kitchen cleaning, room preparation for new guests, bathroom upkeep, sweeping, mopping, and occasional repairs or painting.
On certain days, you'll assist with surfing and scuba diving activities, including tasks like carrying equipment, capturing moments, driving, and setting up gear. - only if you’re interested of course - this will allow you to surf for free and have discounts in diving trips.
During the evening (from approximately 7 pm to 11:30 pm), you'll manage tidying up, cleaning bathrooms, taking out the trash, and ensuring all doors are securely closed.
Remember is just one shift per day, so either 9 to 1pm or 7 to 11pm - we usually have two volunteers that shift accordingly to their own preferences
We aim for a 4 hour workday, and any extra time will be compensated accordingly, so we appreciate your flexibility! 😊
