I was there end of January and had a fantastic time! I've done Spanish immersion schools in Chile,…read moreCartagena, Costa Rica, Cuba and now Tulum, MX and have loved every one! The teachers are AMAZING. Every one of them. Usually classes run from 9am- noon with a break in between each session. 1st 90min or so is grammar and second session is conversation. During one of our conversation classes, our teacher took us to a restaurant to practice ordering and learning menu items and utensils. If you arrive at 8am, yoga classes are included in your tuition! Afternoons are free to explore or go to the beach, but the school usually hosts an early evening activity to promote a sense of community and learn about the culture. Monday was a Mexican art class, Tuesday we played Lotteria, similar to bingo/matching and practiced our vocabulary with the images. Wednesday evening there was an optional (separate cost) activity of going to Muyil for a flotilla in the canals of the Muyil laguna, and a visit to the (small) ruins. It was an amazing side trip! Then we returned to the school for a salsa lesson which was really fun, despite my two left feet! Thursday was a cooking class on how to make mole. Friday was our last day of school and we had a mini graduation ceremony and a taco party! Saturday was another optional all day trip to Bacarat to see the lagoon of 7 colors, but it was POURING rain most of the time. But we were with such a fun group, we made the most of it, and found the silver lining to every cloud! I have such fond moments of everyone there and made some amazing new friends! Definitely check out Tulum, and while you are there, get your learn on at Meztli!

The best language immersion program I have ever attended and I have attended The Goethe Institut…read more It's an open air, jungle experience with an emphasis on sustainability and community. Without making any paper waste, my Spanish was quadrupled in just 3 weeks. The classes are small, outrageously fun and conversational. I took advantage of the free yoga every morning, the evening culture classes, the weekend optional excursions and most importantly the host family living arrangements. It was, hands down, the most valuable part of the experience. The host family lived near and gave me a bicycle for the duration of my stay. The hosts were warm, welcoming, accommodating and made Mexican food from scratch every single day. My vocabulary blossomed during these family meals, where the human experience is so universal, you take part in these conversations and next thing you know, you're fluent. Cannot speak highly enough of the Meztli School for putting this all together.

This course is very helpful if you want to integrate in the Mexican community. Altough most…read moreMexicans can speak English, they really appteciate the fact that you do the effort to speak Spanish with them. I highly recommend this course, the teachers are very professional and the classes very useful in daily life. You can tell that the owner's heart is in this business.

If you or your child has no Spanish experience, this may be the right program for you. If you are…read morelooking for an immersion Spanish school experience and / or know more than your colors, numbers, hi, name, foods, this is not the program for you. The Don Quijote program is actually Enforex. There is no specific Don Quijote program. My kids were enrolled in their Barcelona program for 2 weeks. The instructors spoke to the students in English. The class work was very simple Spanish. The afternoon activities were exploring the city, which was very neat, but everything was in English. We spoke to the directors several times, they said they will fix the problems, but nothing was ever done. In addition, classroom assignments every Monday take more than an hour to do. There are only 3 hours of lessons each day. Instead of simply having lists where families can look at and self direct to the instructors, students stand around for more than an hour as they call every name several times. This inefficient method of classroom assignments occurs every Monday.

I learned so much Spanish in just one week. The instructors were wonderful: very patient and knew…read morehow to teach. I stayed at their student residence. Air conditioning, television, rooms with private bath in a hacienda style home. It was 2 blocks from the school, 8 minute walk to the beach and the main street (5) with so many restaurants, bars and shops for tourists.. Walmart was only 3 minute walk away. The breakfast (included) was cooked fresh for me and very tasty. If you want to combine learning Spanish with a trip to the beach, this is a great choice
