L'Esperienza

Work in front of the ocean. Enjoy the beach and surfing lifestyle. Our beach cafe “the break” is looking for a barista / Smoothie maker or a kitchen staff who can help us running the place. We are located in a remote village surrounded by the nature. It’s quiet and relaxing. If you are looking for a place away from the party scene, or where you can surf everyday, here with us it will be the place

Mi experiencia en la casa superó todas mis expectativas! En lo personal, fui sin ingles fluido pero con muchas ganas de aprender y no podría haber sido mejor. Tanto los voluntarios con los que conviví, como los huéspedes del la casa solo se comunican en ingles y eso hizo que fuera un desafio muy grande y enriquecedor. En mi caso, estuve en la parte de la cocina del café sin haber tenido experiencia previa, los voluntarios y Jiani supieron explicarme todo con amabilidad y paciencia. Si sos una persona optimista, con buena energia, flexibilidad y paciencia, este voluntariado es para ti!

Thank you so much, Priscila! ❤️
We’re so happy to hear that your experience at El Ranchito was so enriching. It was a real pleasure having you with us and seeing how you adapted with such great energy, motivation, and good vibes. You were a huge help in the kitchen, and your positive attitude made a big difference for the whole team.
You’re always welcome back anytime!

Al llegar allí tenía clarísimo que quería irme.Me sentí 0 bien recibida,las tareas ya parecían muchísimo más de lo acordado desde el primer día y Jiani no parecía preocuparse por los voluntarios.Las cosas fueron cambiando y acabé quedandome allí 2 meses. Las clases de surf con Lorenzo son geniales.La comunicación y confianza con Jiani fueron mejorando y,aunque también hubo días en que dudaba si seguir o marcharme,al final siempre ganaba lo positivo.No tengo claro si la recomendaría o repetiría la experiencia pero no me arrepiento para nada de haberme quedado todo este tiempo

I‘m German with a German mentality. I value efficiency & responsibility, which can sometimes seem a bit cold, that’s never my intention. Sorry you have felt this way. We host around 40 volunteers a year, I try to keep things clear and structured from the start. I’m happy you enjoyed the surf with us. Over time, we always build real connections with those who stay longer — like we did with you. Once I got to know you better, I truly felt safe and trusted you. I hope you understand.

The locals were the highlight of my stay. The beach, the town and the weekly fresh fruit and veggie delivery were great and the agreed working hours were respected. However, the work was harder than expected and often included cleaning the owners' private house. Communication during disagreements was disrespectful and schedule changes or joining surf lessons were rarely possible. Money was handled very strictly and living conditions were very basic with worn out mattresses and visits from insects, mice or even scorpions. It felt more like working for a strict boss than a family vibe….

Thx for the feedback, Linda!Guanico is a remote and jungly place, insects and animals are normal. That’s why I keep strict cleaning standards in work, so our european/Us guests, incl. you, feel comfortable. For the same reason, I also value strong working ethics, which may feel strict but ensure fairness and smooth operations. I expect every Volunteer to maintain this standard also in your personal house here. We encourage all volunteers to enjoy the surf lessons whenever the schedule allows.

Guanico is a beautiful, remote little village! The experience I had was really good, but I believe a big part of that was because the owners were away during my stay. I have heard a lot of stories where volunteers leave before they suppose to. I saw big issues even if they weren't there and it wasn't personally towards me. All in all. Loved the place, the locals, the availability of the surf boards. My co-workers.

Hello Andrea,

I appreciate your time for your review.

As you have mentioned that we as an owner wasn’t there. You couldn’t have known everything and every stories.

As you know we have usually 6-8 volunteers at the time, there are some fews volunteers who aren’t really motivated to work or having different mentality to the volunteer programm. In that case, we always let those people go. We have a probation time of 5 days. Within these days we see if it works out for both side.

Nevertheless, we have plenty of volunteers who enjoyed working and living here. (Example: Ellen)

I understand, that negative stories affect ones more than the positives.

I do agree that we are strict on the business operation. We would like to have everything runs smoothies. This is our job. If a job or task is done wrong and our guests aren’t satisfied because of this. It is us, the owner, who has an impact on.

And yes, if one volunteer violate house rules or did any big wrong doing, we let them go.

Obviously, you have done your job well, and nothing happened to you personally. You have stayed.

Overall, you liked the place. And everything went well…

I don’t think it is fair if you made your review based on other people stories.

I stayed here for almost 3 months and not because of the host. After 2 weeks several locals congratulated me that I was still there as a lot of other volunteers leave this place earlier. Reason: behavior of Jiani (gaslighting, yelling, other crazy behavior). I have quiet some work experience, but never one like this! She doesn't treat you as a volunteer, expects a lot! If you leave the place earlier or break something deposit will be taken. It seems like she always find something to take the deposit, even you don't break something The place is really remote and other place then showed on map.

Hello Martine,

Thank you for your time writing the review.

Many people leave guanico because it is very remote place. There’s nothing and this is not for everyone.

I am sorry that you felt like “crazy behavior or yelling” from me. Please, mention that everyone sees things differently. I did give you lots of critics because bartending / hospitality job is a very demanding job. I have told you and others serveral time. I understand that this job is not for everyone. We do expect people work independently and more confident in their task. We had 3 others volunteers complaining about your working ethics and they decided not to work with you because they needed to do your job. There’s people were professionals in their hospitality field. Additionally, you have never socialized with others workers (Gi**, En** Ma** …) I tried to calm the situation and wanted to keep you in our team. That’s why I kept telling you the things over and over again in order to teach you so you can stay. As I told you that we kept you so long because we like your motivation. I, usually do not tolerate workers, if they didn’t understand their responsibilities after 2 weeks. In the end you stayed 3 months.

We have 6-8 volunteers from different countries and cultures. We aren’t able to satisfy every single one. Differently people also have different perception. I am sorry that you felt in a bad way how I criticize you.

We believe it’s normal to ask for a security deposit ($50) for every volunteer. Because in case they break things we have this covered. Before everyone start the job with us, they need to sign the agreement, which you did! Luckily we did ask a deposit from you, because I didn’t thing it’s fair when you broke our shower in your house, that you didn’t want to pay. I feel really sad that because of this we had an argument in your last 3 days.

You were in my house for 3 months and we got a long most of the time. We have shared many things together. You are an adult of 39 years (no judgment), we believe that you are a person who needs to be able to accept critics. Plus, to accept other people opinions and house rules.

PS: overall, I didn’t have a bad experience with you and you have a received a great review of me. If it’s so bad, you wouldn’t have stayed 3 months with us?

We wish you all the best
Jiani
