"Great language & sports - more culture and time in town would be better"

Deborah Neklason, student from USA

Really got more comfortable with Spanish. Classes, teaching, & facilities were great. Staff were fantastic. Rooms were very nice and having a group of eight girls made making new international friends easy and comfortable. Did water sports in afternoons which were well organized and a lot of fun.

Would have liked to have more time for cultural experiences and exploring town. Breakfast was great but dinners were really plain and needed variety and flavor - la lot of chicken & potato
Perhaps time to eat out in town, go to markets, practice Spanish in community
