Accommodation in Tamarindo
|
For a successful stay you need a friendly and comfortable environment and it is for this reason that we do our best to ensure it. We carefully select and regularly visit each accommodation. Though we only provide single rooms, we can book double rooms for students who make reservations with another companion. Rooms are booked from the Sunday before the first course day until the Saturday after the last day of lessons. You can choose from the following accommodations:
> single room with a host family, half board included Living with a Costa Rican host family is a great way to learn more about the culture while also having another place where you can practice your Spanish. We have carefully selected a number of families to help make your stay enjoyable. Typical families will host one to two students at a time. Each student will receive his/her own room and will get two meals per day (breakfast and dinner). Additionally each student will get a key to allow them to come and go as they please. The homestays can be considered relatively small and basic. However do not let this deter you. Costa Rican are well known for their hospitality! The vast majority of our host families are located in the towns of Santa Rose and Villa Real. These towns are approximately 3-5 miles from Playa Tamarindo. There is regular and cheap public transportation between these towns and Playa Tamarindo, so getting back and forth will not present any difficulty. Buses run from early in the morning to early evening. Taxis are available at virtually any hour. Bed sheets are available, but you should bring your own towels. > double room with a host family, half board included > student residence, dorm Our school has a number of air conditioned student residences on site. This is a perfect choice for those that prefer not to stay with one of our wonderful host families. Each residence has aire conditioning, Cable TV and High Speed Wireless. Even if you are not staying in the residence you will still have access to the wireless internet connection (bring your laptop). No other school currently offers this option in Costa Rica that we are aware of. The Residence consists of 4 large apartments. Each apartment has 2 bedrooms, 1 bath, a kitchen, small eating area and a large living room. Our students at the residence will share a bedroom with other students and also the common areas. The amenities of each of the apartments can best be described as basic but nice. We would classify the apartments as having the feel of a nice hostel or college dorm. Each apartment is completely furnished and each kitchen is fully stocked so that you can cook your own meals. From a comfort standpoint you will enjoy the fact that each apartment has air conditioning. The residence is only 5-10 minutes walking from the main centre of Playa Tamarindo and the beach areas. You could not ask for a more central location! |
