Amelia and Peter were amazing from the beginning. I was the only volunteer cause of last minute cancelations, but I've chose to stay and I'm glad I did. They adapt the activities: I helped the native staff, I learnt a lot from Berna, Gabriel, Lalo and Mari. They are very welcoming and talented. Tasks were not heavy and were nature connected. They were always checking on me and communication was open and felt sincere. Schedules were respected and meals were delicious and complete. They gave me a lot more than it was suppose to. They're a lovely caring couple and they have a beautiful place.

This was my first volunteering experience and I really enjoyed it. Peter and Amelia are great hosts. They are always pending on how do you feel and they try to communicate sincerely about what you can improve. Food was great every day, letting us to make our breakfast and giving us lunch & dinner. Working hours were respected as mentioned. This is a perfect place if you're looking to disconnect from people and work in yourself (by yourself).

This was a great experience! Everyone at the eco village was so welcoming and eager to help me settle in and enjoy the experience. They were really generous with the space and accommodations, and the work was exactly as described. I would highly recommend the eco village to anyone looking for a beautiful spot to volunteer in Quintana Roo, and hope to return myself!

Amelia and Pete were amazing, they have beautiful areas and a lovely project together. You can use the time to reconnect with the nature and take a moment for yourself. The food is really good and more than enough. My only recommendation is to be aware the location of the Hotel, is in the middle of the eco village and you needs to walk arrojan 30 min to get the nearest bus. I enjoyed my experience and recommended.
