The Experience

Our hotel is limited to just 6 unique ocean pads. Each has unique features that make them an excellent choice to connect with the natural rhythms of the sea, the sun, and stars. Located on Playa Malibu, we offer tranquility in a sophisticated style. Our hotel is built on 24 columns, and the waves come under the balcony in high tide. We're looking for volunteers to help us with cleaning and gardening tasks :)

I hated this volunteering, I only stayed 1 day instead of 1 month. I was expecting a nice room with a sea view (because it's the only room that the host had photographed on WP). Instead, it was a small, poorly lit garage with no windows to see the outside. Then, the host tells me that breakfast is served every morning (although in his WP description, it was lunch that was announced). He asked me to wake up at 7 a.m. every morning and refused to tell me why or my work hours. He kicked me out (when I share with him my questions and disappointment) without making sure I had a roof to sleep after.

We have had close to 10 volunteers in the past 3 years. Never have we encountered such a bad volunteer as this one.

1. When she arrived, she claimed she thought she would be staying in our $300 per night Ocean Pads.

2. When we told her that we start our day at 7am, she said, "Why do I have to wake up?"

3. In the morning, she would not come out.

4. No matter what was said to her, her response was always an argument.

We strongly do not recommend this person.

I was almost four weeks in the beautiful hotel of Moti. Since it is off season here, the work was very manageable. You clean the rooms if necessary, da little gardening and other small things that otherwise arise. If you want to come a little to rest this is the perfect place, it is quiet, the complex is very nice and the beach right outside the door. (You will not find much action here.) Moti drives you to the supper whenever you need something. The room has its own bathroom. I would come back anytime. Thank you Moti, for this first volunteer work, I got a taste for it😊🫡

The location is semi rural, so if you are NOT looking for too much of the party or wild lifestyle this is a great place to apply for. The cleaning duties are not difficult at all. Kelly is the woman you will be working alongside with for your time there. The property is also located directly on the beach, which was very peaceful and beautiful to experience everyday.

Agradezco la oportunidad y atención de Moti al abrirme no solo las puertas sino la confianza depositada en mi para desempeñar las tareas, atención y el cuidado del Hostel. Es un lugar que se presta para la meditación y autoconocimiento. Agradezco de igual manera el gran apoyo de Kelly, es una persona con la cual platicar y sumamente comprensiva. Puedo afirmar que mis días ahí me ayudaron a reconectarme con una parte muy especial de mi ser. Hasta la próxima! 🤙🏼

Estar en el hotel me ayudó a pasar más tiempo conmigo misma, es perfecto para concertar con la naturaleza, ver la playa y apreciar los hermosos atardeceres, el lugar está un poco alejado de todo pero sigue siendo hermoso! Kelly es una gran persona y explica muy bien las labores, el señor Moti es muy amable, me recogió el día de llegada y me lleva al súper por alimentos. Sin duda sería un lugar al que volvería 🤙✨ Gracias infinitas por hacer que mi primer voluntariado fuera perfecto 😌
