The resort was a great place, nice to relax and with good rooms. There are date trees with delicious dates. Kobas gave me a lift from Beer Sheba to the hostel, but it's hard to get to the resort with public transport. Eli bought me a good amount of food. These were the good points. Eli and Kobas are actually nice people and are easy… read more

I have volunteered with various workaway hosts from across 4 different different continents and I have to say, this one was the best I have ever done! I have been skeptical of most hosts in the past due to the fact that their profiles often over-promised and was far from the reality of the situation in the place.

Sarah, the manager is the best… read more

I have just spend three months in this beautiful place and if my visa wouldn'd have expiered I would have stayed much longer. It is an incredible place.
If you like the quietness and living "away from society" you will surely love it as much as I did. Thank you Sarah for everything and hope to be able to come back.
