I spent two months living in Algodoal, I highly recommend this experience. Dona o hotel is an amazing person just as Patrick and the whole Hotel team, Algodoal is incredibly beautiful, it's that kind of place that totally takes you out of your bubble. I hope to return someday. Just go—it's worth a lot!

My experience at Mitologia was very good. The tasks are simple to complete and the schedules flexible and fair. The accommodations are very good. The hotel and all the staff were extremely kind to me. Algodoal is a quiet and beautiful place. I highly recommend the experience. I hope to return to volunteer at the eco-site.

Welcoming Aline was great, a very calm girl, always smiling, with incredible energy. All tasks were done with a lot of dedication and care ❤️. I left her at ease, because I believe volunteering is an exchange that has to be light for both parties. I always worry if my volunteers are feeling well, because I don't want to welcome them only once, just as there are some who are returning, and for me it becomes a beautiful friendship. I have no doubt in recommending Aline, an excellent volunteer. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Luz really is a very friendly person, beautiful at heart; we were able to coordinate with her perfectly, with her own touch; she was a fundamental part of a job at the site. A model who undoubtedly achieved a lot of success on social media ❤️ always very responsible with the schedule. I recommend her, 100%

I had a truly meaningful experience with this Worldpackers host. A special thank you to Dona Helena, Marcelo, Patrick, Erivelton, Roberta, Marcia, Maira, and João for their kindness and hospitality—they made me feel welcome from the start. The accommodation was comfortable, the food delicious, and the work hours fair. I also loved exploring nearby places like Princess Beach, the Lagoon, and Eco Sítio Flor do Bacuri. The natural and rustic aspect to the island is really enchanting. I'm grateful for everything I learned, would highly recommend this experience, and will make plans to return ❤️

Having met Christa, it was an energy I can't explain, a person I will undoubtedly keep as one of the best friends I've ever had. Our volunteering was light, with good energy; for her there wasn't time, but we helped a lot, even outside the scheduled hours. In other words, she really came to do a true exchange-based volunteering. With all certainty I recommend Christa. Very responsible and fair, the Mitogia hotel is open with doors for a day she wants to return 🌹🌹🌹🌹🥰🥰🥰🤝🤝
