Superb! I couldn't recommend it more. It really is a private paradise, with lovely, creative hosts and plenty of VIP sun and ocean. Special thanks for trusting me with the garden work and letting me be part of the magic.

I had such a great experience at the lodge. The work expectations were fair there was enough time off and the hours were reasonable. the lodge is such a beautiful place to volunteer, you can really enjoy simple living and proximity to nature. Noe & Martin are very friendly, down-to-earth and easy to get along with! It's very easy to feel comfortable there. The tent was really comfortable and the kitchen facilities were good. For me, this was an experience to remember!

Katie was a very good volunteer, willing, very cooperative, cheerful and always had a spirit of community with everyone, both with other volunteers and with the guests. A great conversationalist, creating a joyful atmosphere, we highly recommend her to be part of any work team. It's a pleasure to work with her. We always look forward to having her with us.

My time and experience at the lodge was valuable. Noe and Martin are kind and passionate people who care about others as well as the business. I worked in the kitchen mostly prepping food for guests and making drinks. They will stay with you until you feel comfortable on your own. And even then, most of the time I had a second volunteer to work with. I also taught serval Yoga classes throughout my 3 weeks . There was mutual respect throughout and all lunches provided for us were made with care. I learned a lot here. I would highly reccomend volunteering here if you have the opportunity!

We stayed a whole month at the lodge last February. It is a place like paradise and directly located at the beach. The town with restaurants and shop is a 15 minute walk to get groceries or go for diner. The Surfspot and surfschool are also located within this walking distance. The work at this place is really clear with shifts from 10-3 and 3-20. There is a clear structure and the workload depends on the amount of guests at the place and the amount of rooms to clean. In overall there is never any stress and it is doable to get the work done and enough time to surf and chill.

I had an amazing time at the lodge. The house is in a fantastic location, with a view of the ocean (where you can even spot whales! 🐳). Chacahua is quite peaceful, there are a few supermarkets and restaurants, and I really loved the calm atmosphere. Surfing in Chacahua is also great! The line-up isn't super crowded, and the waves are beginner friendly! The work was fun and the working hours are clear: from 10 am to 3 pm, or from 3 pm to 8 pm. I liked the variety, I had 2 days with the morning shift and 3 days with the afternoon shift. Thank you Noe and Martin!

An excellent experience at the lodge, a truly magical place where stress simply doesn't exist. The workdays were not too demanding and varied depending on how busy the place was. Everything is very well organized thanks to Noé and Martin, who are both highly professional and friendly managers. The meals, enjoyed before or after shifts, are healthy, comforting, and often prepared with great care. This experience will remain an unforgettable memory. I highly recommend it.

The lodge was a fever dream. The work hours were always respected and Noel and Martin were incredible hosts. I was there during off season so there were not a whole lot of huéspedes and town was pretty quiet. I surfed everyday and met tons of other volunteers from other sites. I try not to travel to the same place twice but I had such an amazing experience & would be stoked to come back. I highly recommend.

The lodge is a peaceful, chill paradise right on the beach. The vibe is super good, and the work is varied: cooking, cleaning, housekeeping, small maintenance. Nothing too heavy, during low season. I also happened to be there during a hurricane, which made things a bit different, but we always felt safe and supported. The place is beautiful, 15 minutes walking from the town Chacahua, with kind locals and a laid-back rhythm. (Note that it is a small & remote village). Noe & Martin, the managers, are amazing, so kind, caring, and always there to listen. A beautiful place with beautiful people

The lodge is a peace of paradise !! On the beach, close to a surf spot and in tiny village :) All the task are very easy if you love to cook and do cocktail. The accommodation is cozy with a queen bed for yourself (in a tent but a big one with a real bed and light). Perfect to practice your Spanish specialty with Martin (best Spanish teacher) and English with all the guest :) I recommend without any hesitation. Nos vemos Noe y Martin :))

Overall very amazing to be a volunteer in Casa G🤘🏽 The guests are personable and kind, a mix of europeans n north n south americans. Noe and Martin are great managers, they make all the difference. They connect the volunteers with local tour opportunities too :))) (the bioluminecense is wiild) Living in a tent felt challenging at times, mainly because while its hot there are only a few coolplaces to chill.. it felt strange to relax/be in the main guest spaces at times. The volunteer kitchen is very bare basics. Volunteer Food was a little unclear for me, but i think theyre figuring it out.

Thank you, Aine!! It was a pleasure to have you; you were a very hardworking volunteer with experience in cooking, you gave us a great helping hand in that. We hope to welcome you back whenever you like; we take your opinions into account. As for organizing the meals for volunteers in your case, it was very complicated for us since you did not participate in the communal meal. The idea is that one person cooks for everyone, but that wasn't possible, so we are continuing to work on it. Thanks for sharing with us!
