My stay at the hotel was definitely one of the most memorable experiences I've had. From evenings at the beach to going on walks with Bolinhas in the area, I felt like I was truly able to get to know Aljezur. The working hours were well-respected and Barbara and Belén were great bosses who work with you to find tasks that fit your skill set. The one critique I have is that the volunteer area has quite a bit of mold, which can pose a problem if you're allergic. Other than that, the hotel was an eye-opening experience, and I'm so grateful for my time there!!

I was in the hotel for a month and had an amazing time! The staff and all of the other volunteers were very nice and the work was well organized. The area around the hotel is very beautiful and has a lot to offer, like beaches, restaurants and some parties. Definitely recommend!

I really enjoyed my time at the hotel! The working hours were well respected and the people are super nice! I loved our trips to the beach and cuddles with Tofu and Boli. At the hotel I was able to meet a lot of wonderful people from around the world. I'd definitely love to come back!

My time at the hotel will never be forgotten. Being in a group of at one point 11 total volunteers, can get a bit hectic at times. But it's so fun and rewarding. At least when I went the group of us went out to the beach, events, restaurants, or something everyday. The work is reasonable, you get taught everything you need to know on your first day working. I recommend surfing, jumping off that thing at the lake, Chinga burger at Hugo's, swimming at night, and of course befriending the awesome staff. Only thing I would say is there is no food, breakfast is just bread so bring some money to cook.

My time in the hotel was fantastic. I extended my stay twice and would have loved to stay even longer. The atmosphere between the volunteers and the host was great. It feels like one big family. The work is relaxed and simple, and after work we always do things together as a group. Of course, I have to mention Bolinhas (dog) and Tofu (cat). They hang out with us all day, and Bolinhas has basically become my best friend. My time here was truly a 10/10.

I had an amazing time at the hotel for the two weeks I was there. Belen and Barbara were the sweetest! The pets Bolinhas and Tofu are absolutely perfect. And the people you meet are amazing. The 4 hours of work time is extremely respected and straight forward. And you get the rest of the day to do whatever you'd like. There is a car that you can take places (it is very old and is a manual car) but it gets you places. The living space can be a bit messy and is outdated but to me it felt cozy and homey. I'd highly recommend to anyone looking to meet people and experience aljezur authentically!

My stay at the hotel was great! The other volunteers in the hotel were super nice and it felt like a little family. The work is really easy and they respect the working hours. The surrounding nature is unique and the Arrifana beach is really close. You can take the car which they refill with gasoline and they also offer surfboards and wetsuits. As they have all been used by a lot of people don't expect the best quality:) The included breakfast and bread was really appreciated by everyone.

I had an amazing time at the hotel! I met so many great people and really enjoyed the atmosphere. We even had a car to use, which made it super easy to explore the area. The work was totally manageable, and there was plenty of time to go surfing or just relax at the beach. There's also a really cute dog and a cat that make the place even nicer. At first it was a bit unusual to live with so many people in one room, and things could get chaotic, but in the end it was a really fun and valuable experience. I'm really grateful for my time at the hotel and would definitely recommend it!

Thanks to everyone from the hotel for this brief time together. It has been a very enriching first volunteer experience for me. Each sunset feels different, but I especially keep in my heart the one in Monte Clérigo, and nights at Hugo's bar. From now on, Aljezur is for me the living portrait of Portugal.

It was my second time in the hotel and I still love it! I was dreading to go home again. I love the place and my uto girls! I really recommend the experience if you don't mind living with ten people (it can get messy at times). But if you are up for a little bit if chaos you should be fine. I will come back!!
