We had a lovely time helping out at the lodge. The team were super welcoming and inclusive throughout, so it felt like one big family. The work-life balance was fair and flexible. We started really early each day to avoid the highest temperatures, as the work was physically demanding. This meant we were given plenty of time to relax and explore what chacahua had to offer once our shifts were over.

This place is paradise. Unfortunately a hurricane hit on my 4th day, so most of my time was spent helping clearing up and organizing items for the rebuild. So don't be surprised if it looks a little different to some photos. The work I did was fair and Kris took into account if it was really hot or I wasn't feeling 100%. We took it in turns to cook meals and always ate well. Even though there were different volunteers staying at different times, it felt like a little community. The town is a 30 minute walk and has shops and restaurants.

Volunteering at the lodge cooking was wonderful! The two weeks helping Kris in the restaurant were full of joy, doing easy tasks and meeting lots of travellers while trying his delicious food everyday. Kris is a super kind and flexible person, we had a great time. Thanks for everything!

I really enjoyed falling asleep to the sound of waves and waking up with the sunrise, it is the perfect place to relax and reset. i volunteered in the restaurant nanu which was a fun experience, really nice people and atmosphere. the food there is amazing, it's a set menu which changes every day so the food is super fresh and cooked with love. i highly recommend eating here, for me it was the best food i ate in chacahua, and a fun kitchen to volunteer in! many thanks for the opportunity

Overal great experience. Iris and Kris are lovely people and I had great time staying at their magical place, which is right at the beach. You could find ways to socialise, but I would say this place is better to rest and unwind. You can help Iris with the cabañas, which is what I did, or you can help Kris in their restaurant. The communication was great, Kris is fast to respond and ready to help. You can get there by public transport, there is a shop and several restaurants in nearby village. Just bring enough cash. It is also a good place to surf. Volunteers stay in tents with comfy mattress

Incredible experience in Chacahua! Especially at the Nanu restaurant where I was able to work as a volunteer. The team was superb and the food was great! Great encounters made, Chachahua will remain for me an intense experience, where people connect very quickly, the place is truly magical!! Thanks to Kris and Iris for the welcome, I had an excellent stay 🤗🏝️⛺

Maybe my expectations were too high, but my experience at the lodge wasn't great. The place felt abandoned, and I had some uncomfortable encounters with locals and another volunteer who even suggested I leave. I really wanted to like it, but the facilities were poorly maintained—the kitchen was messy, and the tepee I stayed in was very basic and not clean. I even found a condom wrapper in my bed, which made me question the cleaning standards. If you're not into a very alternative, hippie-style environment, I wouldn't recommend this place at all.

We offer you to stay in a cabaña instead of camping if you could help clean it, you said you preffer cabaña. We usually have big camping houses for volunteers but gave you a cabaña for guest. Being hit by a hirricane category four couple of months before is not having abandoned things, it is process of reconstruction. It is a diferent story. Sad you cant see. The guest that where here at the same time left good reviews, hard to believe in the 12 hours you where here had time to have deep talk

Beautifully isolated location. It gets very hot during the day (stayed in December). Don't expect much social interaction. I wish this project all the best!

Chacahua is a magical place, and volunteering there is a great way to connect with travelers. However, at the time, the lodge was still recovering from the hurricane, so the work was very heavy and physically demanding, sometimes exhausting. Kris was flexible and supportive, which I appreciated. The sleeping accommodations were not in good condition and quite crowded, and there was no comfortable space to work or relax .I truly value the community we built, but overall, the environment and volunteer conditions could be improved.

Dharma sigue en su última etapa de recuperación, afortunadamente estamos ya casi terminando. Esto nos ha complicado los espacios de alojamiento en este mes de lluvias intensas. Lamentablemente nuestro espacio/área de trabajo para huéspedes y voluntarios desapareció
