This has been one of my favourite volunteers yet! I met some of the best people that made my time there unforgettable. Ana is a great boss, she always took time to show us events and areas to visit and was flexible with work and days off. Clieton the cafe manager is an absolute legend, always there to help you out in the cafe and show you the ropes. Working in the cafe is fun, you learn come Portuguese too which is really cool. The location is also great, there are so many places to visit in Algarve and adventures to have. Definitely recommend this volunteer!

I absolutely loved volunteering at the hostel! The aesthetics were stunning, the staff were amazing, and special shoutouts to Ana, Clayton, and Carla for making it unforgettable. I grew so much in my craft as a barista and bartender, and it truly felt like a dream experience. Can't wait to come back next year!

I had lots of fun volunteering at the restaurant in the hostel. The girls I met volunteering together were amazing. We had lots of fun taking random adventures around the Algarve region of Portugal. Portimao is such a central town in the region which made it easy to do essential shopping while being really connected with the nature. The boss Ana and the manager Cleiton are also amazing and really enjoyable to work with. The work included serving and making drinks. You also end up learning some Portuguese during the process too !!

This was my first volunteering abroad and it was an amazing experience. I spent three weeks during the high season working in the restaurant, mostly serving guests, and also learned bar skills thanks to Cleiton, who was patient and fun to work with. Days off are flexible and Ana was always supportive and invited us to local events, which made the stay richer. The only thing I'd suggest is creating a short manual for new volunteers, which would make the stay much easier and save time for everyone. The place and people quickly grew close to my heart, and I left with great memories and friends!

I had amazing 3 weeks at the hostel! It was my first volunteering experience and I made a great decision. I usually worked in the bar with Cleiton(permanent worker) who was so lovely and patient, he taught us how to make coffees and cocktails. Ana is a great manager, she can adapt to unexpected situations easily and she is really negotiable about working schedule . You can feel free to ask her about recommendations on exploring the best beaches or sights. Also, she is really talented in picking the best volunteers, we got along so well with the girls-I made lifelong friendships!
