The Experience

We are a hotel that has been working with volunteers for over 10 years, we love discovering beaches and watching the sunset :-) We mostly need help in housekeeping and also in the breakfast buffet that is served to the guests. In winter we do a lot of maintenance work and sometimes some gardening tasks. Expect to have a lot of free time but also to have to work hard. We recommend bringing some old clothes with you that can get dirty. ;-)

The hotel was my home during the whole summer, and I couldn't be more grateful. The team was amazing, and the work time is completely fair taking into account all that you get in exchange: car with gas included, surfboards, food... Also, everything that you need to do is explained by Barbara and Belén, who makes it really clear and easy :) The atmosphere is always nice and the places around are just breathtaking. Also, if you like animals, you will love having bolinhas around, he's the cutest dog. Maybe the only thing I would change is extending the minimum stay of volunteers for longer.

If you like the sea, nature, surfing, and relax, this is the right place! The shifts weren't tiring, and most importantly, they were always on time, and Belen and Barbara explained everything you needed to do! the hotel is an oasis of tranquility where you can relax by the pool whenever you want. There's a car available, very old but at least it works :), otherwise, the main beach, Arrifana, is a 30-minute walk from the hotel. I'm grateful for this opportunity and for the people I met here.

I have spent 10 days at the hotel and it was quite the experience! the work was a bit demanding but aside from that we had a lot of flexibility in the afternoon with tons of things to do. If you like surfing, hiking, nature and the beach I highly recommend volunteering at the hotel. Thanks to the entire team for this experience :)

I spent 3 weeks at the hotel and it was an amazing experience! The work was around 4 hours a day, 5 days a week, sometimes a bit demanding, but overall well-balanced and with plenty of free time in the afternoons. There's so much to do here: surfing, hiking, enjoying nature, or simply relaxing on the beach. The days were filled with sunsets, live music, bar nights, and great moments with other volunteers and travelers. I met so many amazing people. The hotel itself is also a great place to stay: there's a big pool, perfect for the hot days, and even a small gym for a quick workout. Tofu <3.

I had a great time!<3 I loved the other volunteers, Bolinhas (the dog), Tofu (the cat), the pool and Ferrari (the car). We also got yoghurt, Müsli, bread and cheese for breakfast and a snack in between. The working hours were totally fine and the work itself easy, so in the afternoon we could always go to the beaches, for hikes or too see Lagos or Sagres. In the evening we could go out to some nice live music in the pastry hostel nearby. It is the perfect place if you want to meet new people and enjoy the beach and sun with a very relaxed atmosphere and surfer vibe (even if you don't surf;)).
