Positive aspects of school
They really put an effort trying to fit your level. Nice teachers. Good cooks!
Insider tips about what future students should not miss
Buy organized trips via school - it's much cheaper. Playa itself is just restaurants, beach bars and souvenir-shops. The layed-back touristic type of place. Not of any interest if you'd like to discover "Mexico". Good for traveling to sea parks and Maya ruins though. But stories about that idyllic fishermen's place are from forgotten times.

They offered me private classes instead than group classes as there wasn't a course with my level.

Bons cours en général. Mes deux dernières semaines, comme il n'y avait pas d'étudiants de mon niveau, j'ai eu des cours privés qui m'ont permis de bien progresser

There are some really lovely people working in the school and in the residence. Big hugs especially to Linda. Also the teachers were very nice. The school is near the beach and it offers lunch.
