I really liked my stay in el Gigante. The hostel is super the hostel there were always nice people guest and volunteers. You can surf play beach volleyball take and take Spanisch lessons. Also there are some events during the week like quizz night, Burger night… around the town so it's great to meet people. I highly recommend this place:)

I really liked my stay at the hostel, Dan and Hernan are lovely hosts and will truly make you feel at home! The working hours were very flexible and you could always discuss and move the shifts around your surf lessons or spanish lessons. I really appreciated that Dan and Hernan let me leave a bit early as we were many volunteers and our tasks weren't really that clear. It is a new hostel open to any ideas and developing fast so I hope all the best for them but yeah I just prefer more structured tasks and workschedules.

Voluntariar en el hostel realmente es una experiencia muy el hostel, las actividades son principalmente recepción, quizás pintar alguna tabla o alguna mejora que desees aportar al Hostel, es un lugar para conocer más voluntarios, hacer amigos, disfrutar de la playa, el surf, salir a los eventos tranquilos del pueblo, sin duda muy recomendable para pasar unos días tranquilos de sol y arena
