After spending 2 months here, the guest house has a special place in our hearts! We loved working the bar and meeting people from all over the world, and staying on such a beautiful island has been incredible. The best part however was the people! We were welcomed into the family and very well looked after - it was Erica, Atord, Kieran and the staff that made our trip truly special! Thank you all!! We couldn't recommend this experience more highly and are already planning our return!🫶

I absolutely adored my time at the guest house. The location is gorgeous and the island is a nature lovers dream. Erica and Atord were extremely considerate and generous hosts who made me feel really comfortable and cared for throughout my stay. I was provided with comfortable accomodation and tasty, nutritious food and made plenty of use of the provided snorkelling equipment. The ambience of the restaurant is relaxing and a pleasant place to work in, accompanied by beautiful views. I'm already plotting my return to this magical place and cannot recommend it to others enough ✨🌊🦋🌺🌴

Kate was a great help in our restaurant during its busiest month of the year. Her easy-going but efficient manner was perfect balance for our guests on holiday, as well as supporting our staff.

And we thoroughly enjoyed her company too and hope to see her again and go dive some more. Always welcome! Thank you for all your help and safe travels..

This has been one of the best experiences of my life, and certainly the best volunteering roles I've been in. Erica, Atord, Kieran and the boys have been like family. Nothing was ever too much, and their generosity, kindness and welcoming attitude was a joy to receive. The meals were amazing, the accommodation is cosy and you'll certainly never find a better looking place to work! As for the job, the training was thorough and led to me developing a budding passion for bartending from being a complete novice previously. I feel at home here, and leaving makes me sad. We will come back again!❤️

The guest house was our first experience as a volunteer and Erica and the whole team gave us a great experience. They always ask us how comfortable we are with both food and accommodation. We spent 1 month on the island and it went by very quickly. We loved the experience, and I can confidently recommend this volunteer program!

That was our first worldpacker experience and I don't think you can do better for a first time ! Erica was careful about our needs and always make sure that we felt good and eat good. Also the food was amazing ! the guest house's team is really nice and make the culture exchange great. Being Barthender in this place is probably the best job we had One month on the Island went really fast. Thank you Erica, Kieran and Atord !!
