The Hotel itself is really lovely and the snorkeling and relaxing on the beach were amazing! The staff's sleeping room was kinda shabby and could really need a do-over. Although my position was only for bartending and kitchenhand I ended up doing the room cleaning and laundry as well, which is why I most times worked more than 5 hrs/day. The team itself only speaks Spanish, which is why I'd recommend you know some beforehand. Once there is less of a language barrier it's fun to be around them and I ended up liking the additional hours because you really help them with it.

Cuando llegue a la Isla luego de un largo viaje la encargada del hotel (muy amable) me dijo que no me esperaban ya que el dueño no le había comunicado mi llegada. Ella llamó al dueño y el le dijo que se había olvidado de haberme aceptado y que no me podía quedar, ante mi insistencia de quedarme al menos unos días ya que es una isla y no podía volver, me dijo que solo podía quedarme tres días (yo tenia dos semanas de tiempo allí según lo planeado). Sumado a esto nunca se comunico conmigo, nunca me pidió disculpas ni se preocupo por la situación de haber dejado a una viajera sola sin hospedaje.

Mi experiencia en el hotel fue realmente súper ! La équipe es muy acogedora e me sentí en casa desde el primero día. El trabajo no es difícil y depende de si tiene huéspedes o no. Para hacer este voluntariado, creo que es mejor tener al menos los básicos de español para poder comunicarse con el equipe. Lo que me gustó más fue el snorkeling que hice quasi todos los días e los atardeceres hermosos todas las noches. Si están procurando paz, naturaleza, entonces el hotel es el lugar perfecto. Además, tiene muchos animales cariñosos (gatos y perros). Recomiendo 100% !!
