I really enjoyed my time at the hotel Helping with breakfast was a great experience, and everyone was so welcoming and friendly. I had a lot of fun working with the team, and working with Tala was always a pleasure. We had some really good conversations ! The lagoon is absolutely beautiful, and the place has a lovely atmosphere. I would definitely recommend staying here ! The only downside was the Wi-Fi, which wasn't very strong in the rooms. However, there is a workspace near the reception.

My experience at the hotel was truly amazing and unforgettable. I met wonderful people who helped me practice my Spanish while also teaching me the importance of respecting others, appreciating nature, and helping one another. The whole team was incredibly welcoming and always willing to help and listen to my needs. I'm truly grateful for the quality time I spent with them and for everything I learned along the way. I highly recommend the hotel to anyone looking for an authentic cultural experience and the chance to connect with amazing people.

I stayed one week at Boa Boa. It was so great and I'm so thankful to had that opportunity. Carmen and everyone else were so kind and she helped me every time when I had a question. I can't speak Spanish, but you can improve really good and it was no problem to only speak English. The room is not luxury, but you have everything what you need. Bath and shower is outside and there is a kitchen you can use whenever you want. I could use a laundry next to the hotel in the afternoon. The walk in the city is half an hour which I walked every day. Otherwise rent a bike for a few days. Thanks!

Bacalar is a stunning place and Boa Boa definitely brings out the best of it🌴The staff is adorable, and the accommodation very nice!! In my case i faced a few organizational hiccups, which did cause a bit of stress. The skills I have and their current needs just didn’t match in the end, so I felt like my presence was a bit inconvenient. But they were very comprehensive of my discomfort, and for the last few days I was able to do the job I came to do, I’m grateful for the efforts made to host me despite the bad timing. I do think Boa Boa has everything it takes for a perfect volunteer stay🤍
