The instructors were lovely, Daniel was a great conversationalist (very philosophical!). I wish my Spanish was more advanced because I feel like we could have really spoken for ages about society, and the world. The grammar portions were ok, although I don't even remember grammar rules in English, so it made things a bit more difficult.
Disliked
It's not that I didn't like it, but the room used for the salsa classes was not big enough. There were 5 of us in a space that did not allow for any real movement. Dance classes should be in a more open space if possible.
Insider tip: The hotels nearby are very inexpensive and safe. I recommend the Hotel Vilar American, that includes breakfast!

No idea. In the end I only had 3 days of lessons. Because of a holiday the lessons were crammed into 4 days which means 5 hours of lessons in a row. I couldn't handle that. That's way too much and other students complained about that.
