The Accommodation is great, small Hostel Appartment with Kitchen and a nice Pool.

I can definitely recommend this Host and would do it again if i get the chance.
When i arrived it was still low season and therefore it was not too much to do.
Depending on your expectation or goals for your Workaway this can be a very relaxing… read more

We had our own little house in Punta Barco, 45 minutes walk from the beach, and one meal a day. Every day Manuel drove us to the… read more

Working for Manuel was my first workaway experience. It far exceeded my expectations as the opportunity of a lifetime.

Anka was amazing hard worker enjoying their job at the beach and connecting easy with a lot of customers hotels.
