My experience at Lá Glória House was peaceful, full of natural places and quiet evenings. I found the south of the island to be farther from the center and quieter, the place itself is beautiful. the hostel is not a hostel but guest houses, so there is not much interaction with guests, only with other volunteers. The schedule was clear and there are few tasks as it is off season in winter. Amauri is a nice person and an interesting conversationalist, flexible when it's possible. Only spoke Portuguese :) The provided breakfast is very basic. Obrigada pela experiência! 🙏🏻❤️

Meu experiencia na the hostel Beach was GREAT. Eu fiquei como 1 mês e it totally felt home. The schedule e organized e the hours are fair enough as well as the turns. Joe, THANKS for all the support, for the help with the task and for being nice to ask and say things. You're a beautiful person. I already miss your banana bolo, e seu special quente sanduicho. I made many friend aqui. I was lucky to find a great group a people to work with too. The location is close to the best beaches in town, e muito limpo e cafe da manha a muito rico. Thanks Amauri and Pietro por tudo.

My experience at the hostel Beach Hostel was Wonderful. It was my 5th volunteering job/experience and I could say the best of all of them. Joara e Amaury, the owners, are great people and they became like family. Is hard to say goodbye when you get to love the people. Also the hostel has a beautiful view of the hill and Atlantic Forest and pretty near to the most beautiful beaches and waterfalls. The hostel is all good vibes. You feel enchanted on Ilhabela with so many outdoor things to do. I made not only friends at the hostel, but a family ♥ Thanks Jo and Amaury from my heart!! You're awesome.

It is a place that you feel welcomed. The hosts really put their work and love into their business and tend to be fair with everyone. It is a nice place to stay and there are lovely beaches around and waterfalls - just beware the borrachudos! So use repel cream.

A experiência no hostel é pra quem procura calmaria. Ambiente tranquilo e familiar. Amauri é uma pessoa acessível pra conversar e foi muito flexível comigo. Impossível não ter um carinho imenso por ele, Jana e Fred 🐶. As tarefas são simples e os turnos são rotativos e os horários respeitados. A pousada fica na parte Sul da Ilha, que é ideal pra conhecer as praias mais bonitas (várias acessíveis até a pé). Se você procura agito, talvez a vaga não seja pra você. Vivi dias especiais e levo essa experiência no coração. A Ilha é linda! Obrigada, Amauri e Jana, queridos, pela oportunidade! 🤍
