We felt incredibly welcome during our stay. Peter and Anne are wonderful hosts—Anne is lovely warm and Peter is funny with great sense of humor. We shared dinners like a small family. The staff (Nelly, Lynn, Roselyn, Enna, Florita, and Letty) is amazing. We got to dive often, and Anne even took us on a private dive to see the 2024 earthquake cracks! The work is easy; you just adapt to the resort's daily needs. They were very flexible with our days off, allowing us to easily explore Vanuatu. The resort is clean and well-maintained. We leave with the best the hotel. Thank you! Raquel & Pedro

This was my first Worldpackers volunteer experience. It was amazing! Petter and Anne are great hosts who have a beautiful little resort. Everyday was different and worked with the hosts, a couple of fabulous volunteers and their welcoming and helpful local staff. I learned a few new skills in my work and get a glimpse into the lives of the people of Vanuatu. My time there generated many the hotel for me. Thank you Thank you!!!

Overall, the experience did not meet my expectations, which led me to leave before the agreed period. The room didn't meet basic comfort standards: thin roof, gaps in the door, geckos and cockroaches inside day and night were considered normal. The room was often impossible to stay in due to heat, insects, and lack of Wi-Fi. The work exchange lacked structure: although 5 hours/day were mentioned, tasks and expectations were unclear, and I often felt both underutilized and required to remain available. Meals were limited: lunch was only rice, pasta and eggs, and overall access was restricted.

Thank you for your feedback, Vanessa. We're sorry to hear that your expectations weren't met, but small animals come with beachfront accommodation, especially during cyclone season when heat & humidity are at their peak. Meals are simple but sufficient and based on what's locally available. Regarding the work exchange, we aim to keep things flexible depending on daily needs, but are always open to communication if expectations feel unclear.
We wish you all the best for your future travels!
