I enjoyed the course. I liked the system, the fact that the teachers were changing every week. Some teachers were better than the others but in general I liked it.
I really loved the accommodation. It’s very green, comfortable, beautiful. The garden, the swimming pool, the cabanas, the hammocks were amazing. The stuff is very helpful.
