During two and a half months, I had the opportunity to volunteer at the hotel, which was an extremely enriching experience. Vanina is a very attentive person, always available to help and support whenever needed, showing great dedication to both the project and the volunteers. I would also like to highlight two very special individuals: Jean, who has a genuinely kind heart and is responsible for the gardening, and Fernando, who was my partner in most activities and was always helpful and cooperative I highly recommend this volunteer experience!!!

La experiencia fue larga y muy buena. El lugar es bellísimo, las personas que trabajan allí son muy carismáticas y sociables. La encargada preparó momentos para que nos divirtamos todos juntos en el hotel. Y así, hay muchos recuerdos que guardo del hotel: un lugar secreto en la montaña. Está a cierta distancia del pueblo de las Galeras, donde hay muchas playas de fácil acceso y actividades para hacer. Las tareas son en el pequeño restaurante y bar del hotel, atendiendo huéspedes y transehúntes. Algo muy llevadero y cómodo. La habitación es súper cómoda!

El hotel está como en una colina preciosa donde tienes vistas directas al mar. En cuanto a ubicación esta a 10 mins en motoconcho de la playa. Ha sido mi primera experiencia como voluntariado en worldpackers y no pude haber elegido mejor. Vanina es un encanto, al igual que los trabajadores del hotel. Siempre te lo vas a pasar bien en tu turno de trabajo, y siento que el que vaya, va a aprender bastante tanto de la cultura dominicana como en aspectos turísticos. Además las playas de Las Galeras son INCREIBLES, y aunque a algunas tengas que ir en barco merece mucho la pena.
