I (Sue) spent my time in the restaurant - taking orders, serving and chatting to the customers and occasionally helping out in the kitchen, washing up - with a bit of painting now and then. Adrian’s time was spent mainly building a new “smoothie bar” in the kitchen for greater efficiency and… read more

Javier was an awesome host. The place is really amazing, it is just in front of the lake, so you can swim everyday and watch the stunning sunsets. Also, it is near Tikal and other Mayan ruins. Talking about the team, the girls who work in the kitchen are really nice, always ready to help and to talk about everything. The accommodation was good, I… read more

I had a very good time in here, not only because of the hot shower and great food (both of which I appreciated a lot ), but because of the nice people I met: Javier, Vilma, Jose, and Mirsa as well as lots of returning and new guests. The work was also pleasant and not overwhelming at all. The whole place has a very nice atmosphere and the lake,… read more

Javiers restaurant in El Remate is a beautiful place to volunteer! It's a pretty and cozy place. Javier is a really nice guy and took me in the freetime with his motocycle to show me the surrounding of El Remate and he took me to Tikal too (he knows it very well). I also enjoyed relaxing a lot of time at the lake.

I had an amazing first workaway experience here. Everyone is really nice, and a few days in it felt like I was helping out a friend rather than working as a volunteer. Javier is super relaxed and friendly, the restaurant is beautiful and the food is really good. I loved swimming in the lake and met a lot of fascinating people.
Thank you Javier… read more
