I'm leaving with a bittersweet feeling. The island is beautiful and hours are flexible, but this comes from poor organization and lack of professionalism. I often had my free day moved to the next week and never had the last one. Sometimes I only had two meals due to kitchen chaos, and food variety was minimal—scrambled eggs twice a day while better food was “for guests.” Ángel was kind but major organizational changes are needed. Power cuts were constant, my room had no light for a month, and nature's animals are common. I wouldn't repeat, though I’m grateful for knowing the island and diving

The hotel is located on an enchanting island full of animals and friendly people; the islet is small and very quiet. I highly recommend it if you want to disconnect and calm. The sea is beautiful and always at your disposal, and it's exactly what I was looking for in my first volunteering. Angel and Monica made me feel welcome from the first moment; they were very kind and understanding, which I am immensely grateful for. The working hours are always respected and the food is super tasty. I leave with a wonderful memory of this island and my time there.

The experience at the hotel was very nice. The island is beautiful and well worth getting to know. One positive thing is that the schedules are kept. Overall, I recommend the experience.

My first volunteering experience was amazing. A beautiful place where you can admire a lot of fauna and flora on the island. I was very happy to see so many little animals. After the agreed working hours I could practice several island activities without limitations. My hosts Angel and Moni were very kind to me and we formed a very nice connection. The tasks were basic around the hotel and we helped each other as needed. I’m taking away a very beautiful experience with a desire to keep volunteering.

Ángel and Mónica have made me feel welcomed from my very first day and at home. The island is a paradise in the Caribbean, and I was able to do many activities such as Pádel, Snorkel, Plantom, and surfboards.
I want to highlight that my schedules were flexible and the communication was always clear and direct; thank you for the experience, I am in love with this place ♥️
