Volunteering at the hotel was good experience! It's ideal for someone who wants to chill/relax by the beach. Everyone is quite welcoming and it's a relaxed atmosphere. Jobs/tasks are easy to do. Wouldn't recommend if you like partying.

Waking up next to the beach was wonderful. The initial days started off a little different than what was discussed but tasks were quickly allocated based on what I could bring to the table, and I even got the chance to help paint and decorate! During free time, I got to swim with plankton, snorkel, and even try out the sub wing. I had trouble sleeping during windy nights, and since there's no screens we would often wake up to mosquitos and little flies that bit hard, but that's really all part of the coastal living experience. Bring bug spray, some books and be ready to deconnect

Hello Nava, I hope you’re doing very well. Nava seemed like a spectacular person to us; at first it was a little confusing, but then everything went perfectly. She helped us with painting and with guest service. Very highly recommended for other hotels.

I had a good time at the hotel! I've been there during low season and helped mostly in the kitchen and with cleaning. The tasks were easy and I got used to it quickly. At first, I didn't have a schedule and helped depending on the day when help was needed. That was fine because sometimes I had to work more hours and therefore barely on other days. The team was great and especially Sol and Luis made sure, that I had a good time. The island itself is really beautiful and calm, so if you wanna have a break from the busy city life, it's a great place to be.

COOL PLACE, NOT SUITABLE FOR VOLUNTEERS. The team at the kitchen is great and they took me on cool tours and activities. Yet, the employees at the hostel are overworking, and they expect you to work more than the hours agreed on the platform (or the legal working hours in the country). Also, volunteers don't have a specific place to stay, they sleep in the same beds as guests. Meaning that you have to move every time someone books a bed. One night I had to sleep in the same bed as the chef and her dog.

It's a very beautiful place to connect with nature and local life. Moreover, the people on the team are very welcoming and involve you immediately in all the activities of the place. The food is delicious and there is a lot of peace.

From day one they made me feel like I was part of the group, creating a wonderfully warm and welcoming atmosphere. I met people from many parts of the world and learned a lot about other cultures and ways of life, totally different from mine. I left with fond memories and, without a doubt, I highly recommend living this experience.

Volunteering at the hotel has been one of the best experiences of my life so far. The team is excellent and they made me feel at home from day one, and I also met wonderful people. The place is a paradise you have to see to believe exists: the mangrove is beautiful, the sunsets are incredible, and it's the perfect spot to enjoy the sea. Undoubtedly, an unforgettable place.

The place is very beautiful, the staff always welcomes you as part of them and the duties and schedules are respected; however the food for volunteers and, in general, for the staff is quite basic, the protein was always very scarce and in some cases nonexistent, some people expressed their dissatisfaction and nothing was ever done about it. It may seem simple, but it really does somewhat spoil the experience.

The hotel is a very beautiful and tranquil place if you're looking to connect with nature and a bit of calm, this is the right place. Héctor is a great host and I’m sure you’ll be able to understand yourself perfectly with him. Note that there aren’t many places to go beyond the island in your free time. You’ll be able to go on tours with the guests, which is a plus. The food is sometimes tasty, sometimes not so much. For me it’s okay to stay at least half a month but it’s up to each person. 🫶🏻

Many worldpackers have been applying to this position recently. The host will probably not be able to respond to all of the applications, so we recommend that you also apply to other hosts in our community and not just this one :)
