The hostel is so close to the beach, the vibe is chill and welcoming. It's a small hostel, which makes it easier to get to know the guests, in particular because you're free to organize any social event you like. Recommended :)

The hostel is right beside the beach with any facilities you would need close by. It was my first experience working in a hostel and it has definitely set the bar high for future experiences. It's a great place if you want to surf or if you're a beginner like me and want to learn! The staff and volunteers were all so lovely and I've made some great friends during my stay. I highly recommend this hostel to other people interested in volunteering.

It was one of the best adventures I ever had. It was also my first solo trip and first experience with worldpackers, but it's not the last one for sure! The work was fair and what they told me in advance, you work 5 days for 5 hours and have 2 days free. The shifts are sometimes busy, but always managable and everyone is super nice and ready to help. The hostel felt like home and the coworkers became my friends. You have a great surf spot literally 100 meters away and you can see the waves from the terrace! It's a dream 🥰 I would recommend the hostel for sure ☺️

I had a great time at the hostel. The location is perfect as it is right on the beach. The shifts are not bad and you have a lot of free time and flexibility. The hostel itself is also super nice and clean. I wish I could have stayed longer! ☀️

Volunteering at the hostel has truly been an amazing experience. It was my first time volunteering in a hostel and I can't wait to do it again. The manager and the rest of the team made me feel at home from the first day and always took time to answer all my questions. The work load is absolutely fair and there is always plenty of time to enjoy the island, surf and meet people. The hostel is a place I would have loved as a guest, so working there has been a true pleasure. Big bonus were the delicious avocados, fresh eggs and juicy papayas the owner brought from his Finca.

We are very happy that Lucie came to our hostel and volunteered. An extremely sociable, sweet and hard-working girl who is ready to help whenever needed. We are sorry that she is leaving because we rarely meet a volunteer like her. Dear Lucie, we wish you all the best and lots of luck in your further exploration of the world! :D Saludos!
