We are a family run eco- retreat, equal parts expat and indigenous. We provide comfortable accommodations in the thick of nature, and deliciously prepared meals with local ingredients. People flock to us for a unique Caribbean experience, lush nature and vibrant reef.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Workawayers will benefit from the exchange by engaging with the rich bio-diversity on the property, including our beautiful reef, ocean toys, and 55 acres of jungle! They will enjoy the calm, inclusive environment we've created and leave feeling as though they have extended their family, by making new friends with our guests from all over the world. Workawayers will also gain experience in a unique niche market of the tourist industry.
Help
We are looking a couple with some life experience to help with guest management at our off-grid eco-retreat.
Primary tasks:
-Greet and show guests around the property when they arrive
-Organize tours, activities, and boat trips
-Accompany guests on short walks around the property and jungle
-Generally be available to chat up our guests, address issues, and communicate any issues to owners
-Help organize and supervise bioluminescent swimmers
-Maintain water sports equipment
-Opening up and closing down the Reef Center in the morning and evening
*Note that we usually have no more than 6-8 guests per day during these months. While it's not a lot of guests, the layout of our property lends itself to socializing and most guests love to chat and ask questions at the Reef Center. Most of your time will be spent here, chatting up whoever is around.
*If we do go through a relatively quiet period of <4 guests, then we may ask you to help with some small projects around the property.

Endless thanks go out to Lis and Ulrich, who's unwavering trust and energy made working here a delight.

He took on way more than we had anticipated, giving us the opportunity to escape on a little vacation! We honestly felt comfortable enough in his presence to leave the business in his hands for a few days. Iker is more than capable.
Although we left him in charge, he treated our staff with 100% respect and fully… read more
