Estoy muy agradecido con Peter y con el equipo de trabajo. Las labores podían cambiar cada día, por eso me gustó la dinámica. Desde limpieza en general, a trabajo con madera, aprendí un poco de tubería, instalamos unas bombas de agua, cuidado de la piscina, jardinería y más. Si buscas conectar con la naturaleza, este puede ser el lugar, con su magnífico la ecovila… la puedes pasar muy bien, si buscas algo más social, no es el lugar. La comunicación siempre fue muy buena y la actitud del equipo de trabajo también, disfruté de compartir y aprender sobre la cultura de la región.

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!

Este es mi primer Voluntariado, y la verdad me encuentro muy agradecido de haber podido formar parte de esto. Peter y Amelia son unos anfitriónes increíbles, siempre se preocupan por que te encuentres cómodo y feliz con lo que haces, por que te la pases bien y te diviertas con la experiencia. Y las personas que trabajan en la ecovila son increíbles, atentas y siempre dispuestas a apoyar. Sin duda alguna volveré, y enserio agradezco una oportunidad de estar con personas tan buenas en un lugar tan increíble.

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.

- Good things: the cenote and the pool is always there for u, the dogs are very kind, sometimes the owners are in a good mood and they would give you food or drinks, the experience itself was good for exploring Mexico because the other volunteers - Bad things: no organization for the volunteers, not too much breakfast, there is a dangerous monkey near and in 1 month they've never done a ride to the road, they don't recognize the work u do, bad education and disrespect by one of the owners

Hello Antonio, I hope the rest of your trip in Mexico was a success.

We would like to note that as this was your first experience volunteering abroad, you had unrealistic expectations on volunteering.
This was obvious on your first day (seemed like your first time washing up, sweeping etc.) with this in mind, we lowered our expectations of what you were capable of and gave you very menial tasks for the duration of your stay.

We started our volunteers page to receive good help in the return for the use of our facilities and 3 meals a day with lodging (which is generous for only 5 hours of work in the mornings). (You could have made your breakfast as big or little as you like as these are prepped yourself).

Sadly for Antonio, this was not enough.. He was disenchanted, disconnected, not proactive and unfortunately a distraction to the other members of staff and had a negative effect toward the status quo. We would actively encourage positivity through daily meetings, which would be forgotten before it would even sink in.

Lots of hours were wasted due to lack of engagement which made us feel like guardians rather than volunteer hosts for adults.

(Emergency trip to the hospital at 1am for a tummy ache, only for you to be chirpy and feeling fine once you had seen the Dr and they couldn't find anything wrong, so drove 40 mins back home).

Good luck with your future endeavours & there's a chance through further experiences you will be able to enjoy these volunteer projects on a better level.

Peter & Amelia
