This was an amazing experience. Such a beautiful and peaceful place with really good people (Owners and roommates). This experience just made me feel at home✨🦋 This farm is close to a bus stop, so it's easy to get to downtown by bus if you don't have a car. Markets and the best pizza place are close too 😊

This was my first WP, and my experience at the Center was unforgettable. The property is absolutely beautiful and spending each day immersed in nature, eating homegrown fruits was very special. The work was fair, could be quite busy at times, but chill other times! I would really recommend other volunteers have a car to make the most of your time here. I had a private room which was so cozy and I will miss the ocean view from bed SO much. I am forever grateful to have met Silvia, who made my experience here so memorable and has become a great friend. Mahalo GHF for becoming my home!! ❤️ :)

We're glad you found the work fair, with a good balance between busy times and more relaxed moments. We agree with your recommendation that volunteers should have a car, as it can indeed enhance the experience and help them explore the area more fully.
It's lovely to hear that you enjoyed your cozy private room and will miss the ocean view from bed—it sounds like a truly magical spot! We're delighted that you had the opportunity to connect with Silvia and that she made your experience so memorable.

My work trade experience at the Center was truly unforgettable. The hosts were incredibly welcoming, instantly making me feel part of their eco-conscious community. I had the pleasure of meeting other work traders, each bringing their own unique skills and stories, which enriched the experience further. the Center is a place where hard work harmonizes with nature's rhythms, offering a profound sense of accomplishment and belonging. Highly recommended!

I have mixed feelings, the place is very nice, but there is a lack of coordination, communication and teamwork. My first day I felt like I wasn't welcome, Iris just said hello, follow me,she showed me where I had to drink water, the bathroom and my room (room for myself, it was good and cozy). My first impression was quite unpleasant, there was no empathy from her (I have been so many volunteering and usually they go to pick me up and drop me off, they ask you basic things like, how was your trip, how are you? Can I help you with your luggage, do you need anything, not was my case

We were saddened to hear about Valentina's post-stay concerns, and we regret that she didn't share them during her time with us. Initially, she excelled as a housekeeper, but her performance declined due to a new personal relationship, leading to lapses in responsibilities. Despite invitations to engage in activities, she consistently declined. Operating with a minimal staff, our ability to provide certain amenities, like airport pickups, is constrained. We wish Valentina had communicated her feelings so we could have promptly addressed them. Your feedback is invaluable, and we're actively working to enhance communication and address volunteer challenges. Thank you for your understanding.

For a 1st experience with worldpackers, this was just amazing. What a nice and welcoming couple. I had an awesome experience in this lovely place. I felt like at home. I could have literally lived there. Kuma is very cute too. I went there with no expectations and I came out with many ideas and inspired by all of the things that I saw and experienced during my stay especially regarding the sustainability of our environment but also regarding myself. I had a lot of time to be by myself. Thank you so much for the good vibes, the work outs and all the laughs too. I will miss you for sure.
