    Help

    We need help to develop and refurbish the hostel. There's a lot of different things to be done like deep cleaning, gardening, building furniture, some art project for our building walls and different signs. We want to create a beautiful space full of mindfulness, good vibes, music, and surf culture. Mainly, the chores are usual hostel's chores.
    We work with a schedule of 5 days X 3 hours of work.

    The accommodation is a 4 beds dorm with fan.
    We are the closest of the surf break (Playa Amarillo), there’s nothing on that beach (virgin, pristine), so that’s why we are the closest with a 4 minute walk, and 1 min from the store and Playa Gigante.
    We provide the surfboards with a deposit protocol (in case of damage).
    We split the working shifts between morning and afternoon:

    MORNING
    Cleaning and working on the 1rst floor (reception, bathrooms and laundry).

    AFTERNOON
    Cleaning and working in the hostel (mainly 2nd floor).

    This allow everyone to choose their shifts regarding of tides and activities, as long as both shifts are covered.
