The hotel offers a tranquil escape. Hotel location, close to the main street, adds to it's authentic charm. Miguel is easy going, responsive, and always happy to provide clarification if needed. I highly recommend this place if you're looking for a relaxing spot to unwind and enjoy the beauty of Bacalar. ☀️

Volunteering at the hotel was a wonderful experience. The team made me feel welcome and part of their culture. Brayan's conversations were insightful and engaging, Marisol was incredibly caring, and Miguel was always cheerful, sharing tips and inviting me to fun parties. The relaxed ambiance made it easy to feel at home, and even the dog added a special touch! The warmth and kindness of everyone made my stay truly special. I'm grateful for this cultural exchange and the amazing memories I take with me.

This was my first Woldpackers experience & because of this HIGHLY recommended this Hotel. Do nor believe the one negative review on here, Miguel is really laid back, friendly & happy to give you recommendations on things to do in Bacalar & the hotel facilities are very nice and clean, the beds are very comfortable. You can use the kitchen to make your own food and the hotel Dog Maya is just a bonus. The hotel is a short walk from a supermarket so you can buy food, as well as being close to the lagoon. The work is realy easy and for the luxury of saying in the hotel I recommend

Save yourself from this host. When I arrived, I was told I had to sleep on a couch or share a bed with another volunteer. They said they would buy a bunk bed for us and it never happened. He was smoking weed and got high everyday which made me uncomfortable for management professionalism. He will blame you for small problems and make them a big deal when they could have been avoided with proper communication. He stopped buying breakfast for us for multiple days. This host has a lot of negative things to say when my time here was a great job. This alone says a lot. Too much bad energy here.

I hope you can sort out your problems in your head, the volunteer space is super comfortable, the food ran out because it was supposed to last 3 weeks and you ate it all a week and a half before without authorization and also denying that it was you, you never bought your own food, you ate ours and your colleagues', you were the one who left a marijuana cigarette in a plant inside the department, you are a shameless person
