1:1 lessons with a very personalised approach. I didn't know that before and was very pleasantly surprised. The quality of the teaching was extremely high for the most part, but it depended on the person teaching.
Negative aspects
The introduction on the first day was not ideal: I was told to be there at 9.00 a.m., but I should have been there at least 15 minutes earlier because I had to fill out forms. So I was 20-30 minutes late for my first lesson. I had an intensive course (4.5 hours/day). The lessons were far too tightly timed: I only had a total of 30min break to eat and no time to recover or prepare between lessons. It was too stressful for me!

Both the Spanish lessons and the surf lessons were very professional. The surf instructors went to a suitable surf spot every day depending on the conditions and level.

Quality of teaching / language progress
It is a matter of luck which teacher you take lessons from. So I averaged between the two in the rating. One would have received 5/5 (enjoys teaching, action-oriented, responds to the current learning status), the other 1/5 (bored, plays with the cell phone during class, does not pay attention to mistakes and does not correct them)

The kind and patient teachers. Very personal atmosphere. And the great mix between learning and vacation feeling (homework on the beach :-).

Visit all beaches, the urban one on Sundays. Excursions in the area are highly recommended, from the lagoon to the waterfall to the tourist town of Mazunte.

The school is located quite close to the beach in a silent region. It was really enjoyable having classes there.

The courses are especially good for beginners. All the teachers are very lovely and try to fulfill your personal interests. Although we had booked normal classes, we received personal attention.

The quality of the teaching, the friendly and pleasant manner of the teachers, the fact that I felt really comfortable from the first day on!
Also, the school and the groups are very small which created a nice learning atmosphere and simplified the learning process.

I missed my flight, so I was not at the agreed meeting point and not at the school. I had some problems and the school administration supported me so well that in the end, it was not all that bad .
