Amazing experience all around! My fellow volunteers, the locals, and the guests were all so amazing to get to know. Waking up everyday and jumping into the sea is an amazing lifestyle. The work was very chill and enjoyable. I would recommend this experience to anyone!

The Casa was such a great experience! The volunteers felt like family by the end of my stay, and the memories created with the guests, and staff will be cherished. Such a beautiful place to volunteer, highly recommend

I LOVED my time at the hostel. This place is paradise. The food (fish or veg) is amazing and the staff is great. You'll have a co-volunteer. Job includes greeting guests, running tours, charging for rentals, running mealtimes. The work is overall fun and easy but you are constantly “on” throughout the day. If you are a social person, this is the perfect place for you. But if you are looking for a relaxing volunteer experience with specific hours, look elsewhere. You are on an island, there will be bugs and humidity. Bathrooms are fine. Also, loved getting to know the locals!

Working in the paradise is like that, task very simple and easy to do, the house philosophy makes you merge with the experience and is not hard, be careful with the corals I had a bad experience with that

The hostel is a very high energy place and a great place to volunteer if you like to connect with travelers and party. The hosts were very clear about the schedule and respected the hours. The food was delicious, we eat the same meals as the guest, and there was a seperate sleeping quarters for volunteers and staff. The tours were fun to lead and it was great to connect with people on El Islote. I highly recommend it for high energy people looking to have a good time and learn new skills.
