Had a really fun time volunteering at the host. Super chill atmosphere, the work is good, and David is the best, an amazing host. The dogs are adorable ! The place is a bit rustic, but you get used to it really quickly. Would definitely recommend!

I had a great time at David's camp site, enjoyed the nature and local way of life. David is full of experiences and wisdom, talking to him was very interesting, would have liked to spend more time with him, the dogs are very friendly and adopt you as part of the family, a frat experience to be in nature and see the jungle next to the beach. Recommend if you want to experience a natural lifestyle. Thanks David to share your time and place!

I only spent a week here, but it was a meaningful one for me. As David, the host, always says, this experience is not for everyone: it's a the host with the essential, electricity not every day, basic facilities, but great food, moments of sharing and moments of solitude and reflection. The activities are simple (offering drinks to tourists and chatting with them, keeping the bar and beach clean, scaring the monkeys, spending time with the 6 dogs). Thank you, David, for offering this opportunity to backpackers, and who knows, maybe we'll see each other again after the famous 8 months period!

Different way of living. Do not do if you arnt afraid of living with the basics. Was a great experience and I would recommend. Limited service and some days without electricity will make you disconnect and recharge without the online world which is great. The days were spent chilling. Talk to the few tourists who did come. Very slow sales not a lot of work but u did get pretty good at cutting coconuts
