The hostel is a beautiful place, the view is truly insane! The staff was very nice and always treated me really well. Most of time i was doing bar, but some days they put me to do kitchen and cleaning, which wasn't on the description but was okay cuz it was specific days only. Food and cleaning could be improved but overall i had a great experience and was a great place to connect with myself and nature! Thank you all for having me 🫶🏻

The hostel is a real paradise with an incredible view on the Caribbean. The team is great and welcoming. It was like a home away from home for me. The work schedules were really nice because it allowed me to also discover other places. I would definitely recommend this place. The only thing to be aware of is that everything is outdoor.

Fue mi primer voluntariado, y siento que no pude haber llegado a un lugar mejor. A parte de ser un lugar hermoso, la experiencia vivida allí fue maravillosa. Es el lugar perfecto si quieres desconectar y estar tranquilo. La energía que se siente allí es muy bonita, me hicieron sentir como en casa. Definitivamente es un lugar al que volvería, el hostel ocupa un pedacito de mi corazón❤️

O hostel é um excelente lugar para fazer voluntariado! Recomendo ! O lugar é maravilhoso, no meio da natureza e uma vista de tirar o fôlego. Pratiquei inglês e espanhol enquanto estava na recepção, a gerente dava abertura para combinar os dias de folga, horário respeitado e ainda podíamos ficar em outros hostels da região gratuitamente através do convênio. Amei conhecer todo o staff do hostel, só gente fina! O único ponto de melhoria pra mim seria ter mais equilíbrio nutricional nas refeições.
