Pure Paradise!!!
I've just finished four weeks in Costa Rica and it was the most incredible experience of my life! The school in Flamingo Beach is amazing and classes are small, so you learn better. Plus, if there is not a group for your level, then you get offered private classes - which is fantastic - but there was always a class for my level!
Also, everyday at break there is fresh fruit, fruit drinks and something savoury, all for free!! Not what you normally expect! I loved my 'second breakfast', sitting by the school pool, relaxing in the sun with my classmates.
The school is by some great beaches and with your student pass you also have free access to a nearby hotel swimming pool and discounts in certain bars!!!
Whilst I was there I lived with a Costa Rican family and it was such a good cultural experience. Life in Costa Rica is good... The living conditions can be basic, but the host families are really welcoming, and living a different lifestyle is all part of the experience!!
