Tania and Ana are super easy to get in contact with on what'sapp. As they have a very busy schedule I hardly ever met them in person, but regardless, whenever I needed something they would reply within minutes. They told me from the beginning the working hours and my duties. Maybe the human side of the experience was missing, but I… read more

OMG Ana and Tania's profile pic makes me miss them again :((

It was my first workaway experience and I spent time with them for 2 months. I had many worries before I arriving Mexico but when I met Ana at airport for the first time I realized it was stupid worries. She greeted me with Taquito haha. When I got to hostel she gave me pizza and she… read more helped me to lift my heavy luggage to my room. I remember whole first memories cuz it was so thankful for me even small consideration.
They always care about my satisfaction in Cancun, asked my feeling and hear my voices when I felt uncomfortable things... anyways they are supportive and flexible in many ways.
Sometimes we had a barbeque party on the rooftop, they brought me to cool bar and club and when I got weird allergy they brought me to see a doctor haha Everything was perfect but they were busy so it is sad that I couldn't spend more time with them.
I can say for sure that they are hard worker, open minded, flexible, supportive and super nice! and their 4 cutie doggies are so adorable haha I miss them as well!

Let's start with describing about work in general.
General work : I used to work for 5 1/2 hours a day and got day off 1 day a week. But it changed to 6 1/2 hours a day after about 1 month later. It wasn't very short time for workawayer but I could understand in my position cuz the hostel is small so they probably hard to give a bed to more than 2 workawayers and there were not that hard work in working time.(Unless your workmate is not too lazy). I prepared breakfast for guests from 9 am to 11 am, run the washing machine to wash bed sheets(towels as well) and change bed sheets, threw away garbage and reception work. When I sold tour they gave me some money for commission :)) Sometimes you need to help them longer than you recommended but if you really care this hostel like yours then it is not big issues.

Accomodation : I used to use Girl's dorm. Beds were so comfy, wash room was big enough for me and there were quite big space to put my belongings in the room. I used room with guests and it was so great cuz I could make lots of great friends and sometime I used to hang out with them. I made amazing friends at the hostel. It is good to make good friends there.

Food : They gave me some money for food for a week. I could buy some food what I want to eat at super market. You can cook yourself in the kitchen. Sometimes the money were not enough for me but it was okay cuz my budget was not too tight.

Others : hostel beach located secured area, quite and peaceful, close to the small local public beach and convenience store also there has some good restaurants. Some people don't like this location cuz they should had to go downtown to buy groceries and any other stuffs. But it takes only 10-15 min by bus or taxi from hostel to downtown. It was not a big deal with me.
The biggest reason that I wanted to stay at beach was chill on the rooftop bar. Cool breeze was blowing every day and night, beautiful sunrise, sunset view and adorable decoration with hammocks haha

Just believe Ana&Tania haha. They will help you a lot but sometimes you have to remind them what you commented them cuz they have lots of busy works so they often forget what they heard :)))))

Thank you for everything Ana&Tania! Hopefully meet you guys again in South Korea(Don't make the mistake your journey! I'm in South haha) or Mexico orr somewhere haha Going to miss you guys a lot and keep in touch! Big hug:3
