The reserve - Transformative Experience ★★★★★ My one-week stay was life-changing. The serene natural setting and welcoming community struck me. Under Gustavo, I immersed in daily life - learning cooking, contributing to projects, sharing music as a DJ. I felt deeply connected to nature and sustainability. Gustavo's wisdom and the community's stewardship were inspiring. I left with renewed appreciation for living in harmony with our planet. the reserve is a special place I will always cherish.

It was a wonderful week at a family project in the jungle. I helped with tasks like maintaining the guest dining area, rooms, and general maintenance with Gostavo. The kitchen work was inspiring, and if you were lucky u get to try Aida's famous pumpkin soup ♥️. Meeting Thomas, Karla, and Azul, a violinist from Colombia, was a delight. We worked hard on weekends and relaxed by the reserve, competing in kayaking and we lost to Gos and Aida Of course! Gostavo was generous, letting us try different rooms and tents. For genuine connections and a great time, this is the place with the right souls.

I really enjoyed my stay at the reserve! it's perfect if you're looking to disconnect, away from noisy tourist areas! i mostly helped with food preparation for the guests, but i also assisted in other tasks around the property, so the work was varied but quite easygoing. the accommodation was beautiful and it was enjoyable to experience glamping and spend some time in the nature

I spent a great week here at the reserve. Tavo and Aida were very welcoming and made me feel at home right from the start! Their resort is an incredible little piece of paradise, hidden well away from the hustle and bustle of the big city and touristic areas of the island. The work schedule was laid back and the tasks simple. So if you are looking for a place to unwind, take things easy and become acquainted with the Dominican countryside, then I 100% recommend that you check this place out!
