What our students said about Puerto Vallarta
Tragic to see all the litter every where. Do not understand why Latin American countries , which are blessed is so many ways cannot dispose of their garbage in places other than the streets and highways.

I love Puerto Vallarta and am a regular visitor for many years. During the four weeks that I lived in the neighborhood of the school I always felt very safe.
Too many tourist and people from the United States/Canada. Almost didn't feel like I was away from home.
Wonderful city. Have made multiple trips there. I would avoid Guatemala St for lodging.
I come to Puerto Vallarta for 40 years and I love this city.

Wonderful! More students should check it out!
What school directors said about Puerto Vallarta
Puerto Vallarta is a gem, located on the Pacific Coast of Mexico, on the same latitude as Maui, in Hawaii. With a mix of old Mexico charm and all the qualities and infrastructure of a first class beach destination, its natural beauty is breathtaking. The lush green mountains are to be seen from everywhere, as the jungle is jutting to the sky from the ocean and towering over the city. The heart of Puerto Vallarta is a quaint colonial town with traditional haciendas and architecture, cobblestone streets and whitewashed buildings. Farmers markets, art galleries and handicraft contribute greatly to Puerto Vallarta’s unique charm. This is also where most of the boutiques, bars, clubs and countless restaurants are located, making Vallarta’s thrilling nightlife famous.

Everything was excellent - the people, the facilities, the lunches, the instructor and the instruction. I was very pleased with our week at the Spanish Experience Center, Puerto Rico.

It was nice to have the option of a "home" cooked lunch every day after the morning class, which was also a chance to socialise with others.

Didn't like one of the main instructors (others mentioned the same). Sarai was not welcoming, stuck up, not a pleasure to be round. Loved, loved, everyone else.

ADD a line to the school sign "CENTRO DE LA EXPERIENCA ESPAÑOLA¨ so the taxis know.

Very friendly staff, excellent instructors, great idea to offer lunch option.
I attended the 15 hour per week option. I would have preferred 2 hours of grammar and one hour of conversation instead of 3 hours of grammar. There needs to be a better system for doing the dishes from lunch.
