The Experience

Hi There! I am Simone and I run a small tropical apartment complex on the beautiful tropical island of Curacao! The apartment complex is old so I'm always busy renovating, painting, gardening, cleaning, refurbishing etc. etc. I could really use some help! Who wants to help in making this tiny tropical paradise even more beautiful? Of course, you can also enjoy everything Curacao has to offer (diving, snorkelling, hiking, bars and restaurants).

I learned so much at the hotel, I feel like a new person :) Simone is great, very efficient, knowledgeable and provided everything to make me feel comfortable, gave a lot of recommendations to visit the island and even provided a bike and beach gear! I didn't have much experience with diy but she patiently taught me, with humor and energy. A couple of things to keep in mind before applying is that the job is physical and the temperatures are high, in March it was 30 degrees on average, I didn't mind but I think volunteers should be aware. Wish Simone all the best, Curacao is great ♥️

I had a wonderful stay in the hotel! Me and my friend had our own appartment which was freshly renovated! We worked in the morning and got all afternoon to explore the beautiful island. Simone is a flexible and caring host. She gave us many tips about the island.

I really enjoyed my stay at the hotel! Simone made us feel welcomed the first few seconds we arrived. Some tasks are easier than others, for example working outside is harder than inside, however we work from 7:30 to 12:30 so the first few hours are not that bad, and you have the rest of the day to go do something fun! Simone was also helpful with providing information on where to go and what you can do. She also provides bikes. There is a supermarket nearby and a bus station. However the food is not provided, so it's a little expensive. But overall, I recommend a 100%!

Simone was welcoming and helped me to get to experience the island and showed me the "island life". The location is not super central but she is helpful with information on how to get around and took me to beaches when she went. The beach is a 15min bike ride form the place. She do also provode helpful tips on how to spend your days of, like the best time and place to swim with turtles. All in all a good experience. Would stay there agian.

Simone was an incredible host, and immediately made me feel welcome and at home! She also went out of her way to make sure I could have a great experience with the diving on the island, which is absolutely incredible!!
