My experience in the hostel was amazing. The hostel is so nice and comfortable. Being able to get free boards and lessons was great, i really could practice my surfing. The work was most days really chill. The lunch always delicious. And Mario was the best coordinator and friend that i could have had! Thank you Sayulita and thank you the hostel! I will be back 🫶🏻

I had a great month volunteering at the hostel. The minimum stay is 1 month and the hours are 5 hours/day, 6 days/week, so a little bit different than advertised. I taught yoga and pilates in the mornings and then mostly helped in the coffee shop after. I enjoyed teaching and the social aspect of working in the coffee shop with the other staff and interacting with all the guests. I was able to use surfboards for free and go on surf trips when there was space and I was super grateful for that. Everyone working at the hostel is kind and helpful and I really enjoyed my experience!

My time on the hostel was good. I practiced a lot my Spanish and people were always supportive on helping to learn Spanish. I could learn a lot of Mexican culture and people were always kind and helpful. Also, surfing almost everyday was amazing.

My time here was a blast! I mainly lead the tours to the turtle rescue activity every morning and it was so fulfilling!! Taking care of the babies and cleaning up the beach was a great start to the day. When I went, use of surfboards was free and there was always lunch available for free for volunteers. The staff are very friendly and will help you improve your Spanish if you're like me and came in less than fluent. Hours are respected and there is plenty of free time. The dorm was clean and comfortable. I would love to come again and definitely recommend it, thank you for having me!!

I had the best time at the hostel. Everybody, from the staff to the volunteers and local people that hang out here are incredibly nice. The activities are really fun and a great way to meet new people from all over the world. Also you will get one meal per day and it was always really good. I felt so welcome here and the karaoke nights were one of the best nights of my life. If you volunteer here, definitely check out the surfschool that is located within the hostel! There is a reason everybody calls this place “stayulita”, you will absolutely fall in love this the place and the people.
