I had a fantastic time volunteering at the Cheekys! The team was amazing and we always had a good time! I especially loved joining the surf sessions, the delicious shared meals, and the chance to improve my French. Overall, it was an unforgettable experience!
Thanks a lot to Dim, Mel and the whole Team!

I was at the Cheeky Family during August and I had a lovely time meeting people and learning new skills. I lived a bit away from the hostel at a campsite, but I was provided with a bike; the commute was easy and scenic. The work was sometimes intense as August was the busiest month but hours were respected and I was always able to ask for help if I needed it. The only downside I occasionally experienced was the surfing lessons. The instructors mostly focus on the paying clients during the lessons. However, as a beginner I could have done with a bit more guidance. Excellent food!

i had an amazing experience at cheeky!! my experience might be a bit different because i was living directly at the hostel, which made it way more convenient! overall, the job is super easy and the hours are respected. people are super nice and the place is super friendly! having surf and yoga lessons whenever we want and having all the meal included is definitely a big plus to the experience!! i would recommend if you want to spend time close to the beach with good food and great people :)

This was my first Worldpackers experience and I was left disappointed. From the beginning I felt unwanted and unwelcome. There were too many volunteers for the tasks. The 5 hour long shifts were mostly spent waiting for something to do. The staff accommodation was a 50 minute walk aways and volunteers have to source their own bikes which is hard to find in peak season and near impossible to find under €50. Their profile states free use of laundry which wasn’t true. They wouldn’t cater to my dietary requirements. Surfing and yoga were enjoyable but overall I would not recommend.

First person to behave this way since we started welcoming volunteers. Before your arrival, we discussed your dietary requirements and offered solutions, which you agreed to!
The accommodation you were given was 15min away by bike, bike you didn’t have to buy, because we lent it to you for free : yet not once did we hear a thank you !
Don't forget you had free access every single day to yoga classes, surf lessons, surfboard rentals, we cannot recommend you as a volunteer...

This is a very fun experience to live at the beach and surf as much as much as you want but there were some things that weren’t communicated properly. Laundry is not included, neither is wifi or transportation to the hostel for some of the volunteers. You also aren’t really trained on anything, but the hosts would get angry if you did something that was not how they would do it. One of the hosts also had a poor temper and would sometimes explode and create a negative environment. I still had a great time but these are things to know beforehand :)

Thank you for your feedback. We're happy to hear that you had a good time with us and enjoyed the beach life and surfing!
That said, we’d like to clarify a few things and put your experience into context. Since you were living at the hostel, you had free access to the Wi-Fi, and there was no need for any transportation, as everything was on-site. No enough space to give you a real feedback....
We wish you all the best for your next adventures and many more positive experiences to come :)
