I had a great time in Atacames!. The environment is very nice and friendly. the guest house is a very willing man. Is going to help you with everything you need. We went on excursions, walks on the beach and eat at local restaurants. Dont forget to try bolones at the local restaurants. The city maybe is not very safe but with the guest house you feel safe and nothing to afraid of. You feel totally safe. I am very happy for this experience. I saw a new place and the local tradition. I liked this tropical experience..

Irida to date has been one of my best volunteers and despite coming from Greece, one of the most beautiful places on the globe, she never ceases to marvel at the landscapes of Ecuador and its gastronomy.
On the other hand, in the hostel he was always up to the task in helping to make everything clean and in the food for my fish.
I recommend her to any Hostes, an excellent person and a beautiful character.

Mi experiencia fue muy buena. Ángel es un excelente anfitrión; tuve acceso a todo lo que buscaba en Ecuador: conocer lugares y personas únicas, practicar mi español, estar en contacto con la naturaleza y aprender nuevas habilidades. Mis tareas se centraron en la limpieza, la jardinería y la cocina, donde aprendí a preparar platos regionales con ingredientes de temporada. Ángel valora mucho la comunicación y mantiene un diálogo abierto para flexibilizar horarios y actividades. Me alojé en una habitación con baño privado y vistas al mar. Gané un amigo, que me ayudó mucho. Algún día volveré.

Anahí fue una voluntaria estupenda.Sus ganas de aprender el español lo supera todo y por tanto la comunicación fue excelente.Realizo todas las tareas de cocina,jardinería y limpieza a cabalidad,(me contó mucho le sirvió su voluntariado anterior en Chile). Podría decir ha sido una de las mejores voluntarias que he tenido en todos estos años en la página.
Siempre recordaré su cara de felicidad al regreso de sus paseos por la playa y su admiración al ver los paisajes y gente de mi País.

Airbnb sin huespedes, cuarto con baño, pero la puerta de corredera sin seguro y el baño sin puerta generan inseguridad. Las actividades son sencillas, pero parecen más un servicio personal al señor Ángel que un voluntariado. Con el host al principio, con su familia presente, el ambiente fue respetuoso, pero al quedar solos me sentí incómoda con comentarios e invitaciones inapropiadas, como ir a la piscina (donde me tocó las piernas), al jacuzzi en su cuarto y a ver Netflix en su cuarto. Estas situaciones me hicieron sentir fuera de lugar y no alineadas con la idea que tenía de la experiencia.

Muy lamentable los comentarios fuera de la realidad de este voluntario.Se le asignó una bella habitación con baño privado y con puerta con cerradura.Sino pidió llave no es culpa del anfitrión.Se le explicó en ocasiones no hay reservas y es una opinion sin fundamento afirmaromo el voluntar que busca servicio personal.Lesljy conversó estaba siguiendo una serie en Netflix y quizo compartir en un piso entero del hostal que tiene jacuzzi incluido .Miente obsenamente fue tocada en s

Mi experiencia fue maravillosa, Ángel es un encanto de persona muy lindo anfitrión, cordial, culto, alegre, no se hace problema por nada,uno se siente muy acogida desde el minuto cero, la alimentación es saludable por lo que es una gran ventaja, y el lugar es MARAVILLOSO, mi habitación tenía una vista increíble al mar, con baño privado, piscina con un patio de ensueño. Lo único que no me gustó es que estuve solo una semana (por compromisos personales) yo estaría ahí toda la vida 😃 Las actividades son fáciles, normales, se cumplen los horarios.Fue una experiencia que atesorare siempre,GRACIAS
