The hostel is an amazing place run by family, but everyone who works there is part of it as well. The vibe of the hostel is so chill and welcoming. Noting is more luxurious then having the best specialty coffee in town located in the hostel too! If you are open to learning Spanish and immersing yourself into the local life of the hostel, this is the place to be. Gracias a todos🫶🏽🌊🌅

The hostel is definitely a home away from home <3 Since day one, I felt truly welcomed by everyone, the most important thing for the hostel is to maintain that warm, family-like vibe and they do it incredibly well. I couldn't ask for a more fulfilling experience, i learned so much, not only from the tasks themselves, but also on a personal level. Teamwork here is exceptional, there's always open communication, and everyone is encouraged to share and improve together, it really feels like a family <3 I'm so grateful for this experience and I can't wait to come back <3

The hostel is an amazing hostel to volunteer in. It was my first volunteering experience and it couldn't have asked for a better experience. Ivi and Francesco are so welcoming and you really feel part of the family. I even extended my time here and I also have planned to come back. I spoke almost no Spanish when I arrived and the experience has been very helpful in helping me learn. The hostel is situated away from the party area from the town so you feel like you are living in Mexico rather than in the touristy area which means you have a local food market nearby to practice Spanish

The hostel is an amazing hostel. I was my second time volunteering at this place. Since its always around 8 volunteers you can form an amazing community within the volunteers and with the guests. In general the whole staff is lovely and always helpful.

Volunteer here SHOULD DEFINITELY be on your “to-do list”. The location its perfect because you can learn about the local culture and everything is close by. The task are simple and always within what was agreed upon, which makes you feel at ease. The best part is the safety, respect, warmth, Anda above all the wonderful people at the hostel like Ivi, Francesco, Doña Mary, Emily, Dalia, Adrián and Juanito.🤍 I 100% recommend living this experience. The magic of the hostel will change your life, just like it changed mine 🐣💌
