The hotel and the team will always have a special place in my heart! We talked to collaborate on my agreement of what my tasks would entail. I was doing their social media, which involved posting, photography, videography, editing and community management/engagement. The hotel is safe, clean and Kathleen and the women running it are fantastic and so welcoming. She helped me immensely with my Spanish, as did the social media role. The area is fun and friendly, there's lots to explore- local culture, the beach and forest, and great food. I'd recommend this host to anyone!

I was the only person “volunteering” and I hoped to meet other people, but I was alone. You really need intermediate Spanish as it was hard to communicate with the guests and the cleaning lady (that you will help). Be prepared to really work 5 hours cleaning the rooms (or 3 hours cleaning and 2 hours “reception”). Have to learn everything on the go, no manuals available and everything is in Spanish. I would really recommend betting your Spanish to an at least intermediate level. Overall, it was pretty lonely. You just work for the accommodation +laundry, which I think doesn't really worth it.

Mi experiencia aquí ha sido muy cortita pero he podido conocer tanto a la manager, Kathleen, como a su familia. Estoy feliz de haber contribuido a un proyecto liderado y dirigido por mujeres, donde mi trabajo ha sido muy apreciado y se que ha depositado en mi la confianza para ser creativa y tener independencia de actuación. Hubo un pequeño contratiempo con mi compa de voluntariado pero Kathleen fue muy comprensiva al respecto, me sentí entendida y enseguida puso remedio. Recomiendo hacer voluntariado aquí por todas estas razones y por el maravilloso pueblo y entorno!

A mi en lo personal me encantó! Pero hubo una situación con la niña más pequeña, escuché como la señora más grande le gritaba, y por lo que yo escuché, le pegaba también, en ese momento le mandé mensaje a la hija de la señora, la cual nunca me respondió. Quitando esta situación kathleen es muy amable, pero no apoyo a lugares donde maltratan a los niños.

Muchas gracias por todo, pero en asuntos personales que no tiene que ver con el voluntariado es mejor mantenerse al margen.
