It was a great experience, all I can say is thanks to both the guest house they are so nice and makes you feel welcome and part of their family .... I had a good time, all the task are easy to do, I did them as I was told, and everything worked just fine... I had a lot of free time , so I learned how to move around to the centro of Cancun, it was fun riding the Combi.. I always felt safe , I really recommend it and I'm ready to do it again... Thank you guys for everything, and I apologize if I did something wrong. Many Blessings, and thanks again.

Frank is usually nice, but sometimes he acts unpleasantlylike throwing away my food without saying anything. I asked him to show me the laundry, but he put his own clothes in, promising to do mine next, which he didn't. The work is a lot of cleaning. The bus ride to the beach is 1h10min. As a woman, I wouldn't want to drive back alone in the evening.luckily I wasnt alone. The guest throwed her trash in the sink, assuming we'll clean it.. On a positive note, he's understanding if you have issues, like getting lost or experiencing jetlag, and allows than flexibility in the cleaning schedule.

Frank replied

Hello Bibi, I don't remember throwing food and I wouldn't have done it without first asking, surely someone else did it or you would have asked me and we would have gladly verified it.

Regarding your clothes, it is indeed something that I offered to help you with so you could go out. As you know, it was not my responsibility and I still tried to help although it was not in the time you expected.

On public transport there are too many women traveling after midnight. Still, I don't understand what that has to do with us.

Finally, all guests know that they have to clean the deals they used. You didn't have to do it and I never asked you to do it.

La experiencia fue buena y tranquila especial para gente que quiere hacer voluntariado y estar tranquilo después de la jornada de voluntariado. Esta un poco lejos de la playa pero hay muchas líneas de colectivo que te llevan y traen desde la zona centrica o zona hotelera asique no es un problema. los franks son muy buena gente super tranquilos yo los super recomiendo para realizar voluntariados y hasta para hospedarse en sus departamentos.
