100% recommended experience!! Very flexible schedules, attentive and fun hosts, a quite comfortable and nice space to stay, and everything they offer was fulfilled. Without a doubt it's the ideal volunteering experience if you're looking to get to know Bacalar without pressure, meet people, travel as a couple, in addition to having very good support from the hosts. I had a lot of fun, I felt like family and I am very grateful; it's a pity that Juan Ber is with Atlas. Go Chivas!

The experience at the camping was amazing, the facilities are very comfortable, and the place is super well located in Bacalar. The hosts, Papita and Juan, were always very kind, open to teaching and to making our stay as comfortable as possible. The work exchange that is done and what you get at the camping is very fair, I have nothing but good comments to make about the camping, I hope to be able to return someday!

The campsite is an amazing place, full of plants and with a wonderful energy. The tasks to be done seemed easy and anyone can learn them. Juan Bernardo and Carlos are excellent people, very kind and super attentive to volunteers' requests. I felt very comfortable at all times and the whole staff was amazing. The campsite is already my home!! Thanks guys for everything!! It was a pleasure to have shared so much with you all and it was a privilege to meet you. Love you all!!

Very grateful for the hospitality and the friendship that Juan Bernardo and Carlos have shown me. The place is beautiful, with a private room; my work was in the restaurant, where I learned to make all the meals and drinks on the menu. The place is in an excellent location and very quiet; the showers are excellent. They respect the schedules and are flexible with the days off. You can use the bicycles to explore the town and you share in the restaurant's tips. Highly recommended
