The experience here was okay but it is not what I was expecting based on the listing. When I arrived at the hotel where I thought I would be staying and volunteering they actually drove me about a mile to the other side of town to a small hostel that I was to stay and work at, it was nothing like the photos and the work was not in the cafe as I planned. Also the listing say that English and Spanish is spoken but really only French and Spanish so I would recommend updating that.

Very warm people and a very nice time in the hotel. I felt very welcome. It lies directly by the sea, in the relaxed Puerto Lopez. There are plenty of things you can do, so that it never gets boring. The tasks were good and easy to complete and the working hours are flexible. The food was also always very good.
Many thanks to everyone, Valentina, Yadin, Super Mamá and Sebastián, for the great time!

Very nice, the hosts are always very attentive, and everyone, including the place's own staff, is very kind. The tasks are varied, normal, and easy to accomplish. There is a flexible schedule if you need it while working (Valentina and Yadin are always attentive to dialogue and coordination).

This was my first volunteer experience and it met my expectations. Valentina and Yadin were great hosts and the whole team was very kind and the food was always delicious. The landscape is very beautiful, especially the sunsets. Ideal for dog and cat lovers :) Thank you very much for everything and I hope to return in another opportunity.

The hostel is super quiet and the volunteer rooms are comfortable and have more than one bed. The activities to do are simple, and the bar staff patiently explains to you how to do things. Both the owners and the staff are really good people; they trust you, and you can be at ease. And best of all, the beach is right in front and the beautiful views from the restaurant😍🌊. Highly recommended!
