We had such a great time at the host. The paradise found! Brigit, Aldo and Rachel were present to answer our questions and show us what we had to do. We were valued in our work and felt part of the team. The nature and the host aroud are beautiful and it was such a bliss to spend time in this place. We highly recommend this experience.

A really nice place to get in touch with nature, but the communication was almost nonexistent(which concerned food, tasks and how to get to and back from the host). Had to leave a day early because they couldn't provide a ride to the ferry.

Our info pack explains clearly that we do not arrange or provide the travel to and from our resort. One day notice that you want a lift ( for 3 hours turnaround travel) from us was a little unfair. If you had ensured that you communicated your needs well in advance we could have found a solution that wasn't so last minute. We literally drove the 1.5hrs to the ferry the day before. All the best Lucy.
