What our students said about Puerto Viejo de Talamanca

Swinging Caribbean town, certainly ideal for parties, which I wasn't looking for. Very nice beaches and nature. I didn't use public transport.

Spanish by the Sea

The teacher from Guatemala, who has been teaching for 30 years, had a very lively and refreshing way of teaching the language and also conveying something of the soul.

Spanish by the Sea

Classes take place outside in the shade between palm trees, other exotic plants and hummingbirds. The teachers are very committed and can be approached if you have any questions or problems beyond Spanish.
The dorm is unfortunately quite small and somehow uncomfortable. The accommodations with private rooms (private bath or shared bath) are perfect (But of course also more expensive ..)! There is always the option to book a hostel in Puerto Viejo, almost everything can be reached on foot within 5-15 minutes. If you want to live far away, you can rent or buy a bike.

Information about Puerto Viejo de Talamanca

Why Puerto Viejo de Talamanca? Puerto Viejo de Talamanca is a laid-back village on the Caribbean coast, situated between the forested hills of the Talamanca mountains and the sea. Familiar sounds of Bob Marley fill the streets and contribute to the relaxed atmosphere since the locals are mainly of Afro-Caribbean descent. The quiet beaches during the day are a far cry from the lively party town inland at night where the area is bustling with tourists and surfers alike. Street vendors tout trinkets and rustic bamboo bars pump dance and reggaetón beats until the early hours.

The evaluations by students after they complete a course is excellent. The discount for using your website is also a great incentive. It also would be wonderful if the website would include more cities and a bigger selection of schools in each city.
Basil Havens verified client
The service of languagecourse.net is great, I booked already 3 schools and I can highly recommend it. In fact, I tell everybody I meet on my journey in South America about this website and how well everything is organized.
Gabriele Ragger verified client
I am very satisfied. I found more/relevant information on your webpage than on the school's website itself. It is the cheapest offer. I'm going to book my next course on your site soon.
