Spanish Experience Center
- To the West of Mexico is the coastal resort of Puerto Vallarta, brimming with nightlife, water sports and beaches, it is always buzzing with life. The city has its own Domestic and International Airport, which is extremely close to the city centre and is well connected to major cities in both the USA and Canada. Spanish Experience Center is two streets away from the beach and the picturesque boardwalk along the shore, for some well earned beach time after a long day of studying. The school itself has a beautiful fountain centerpiece in the courtyard and 7 well equipped classrooms where you can learn courses ranging from a general language course to grasp the basics of Spanish, to an exam preparation course for either the DELE exam or the SIELE exam, which can be required for level ...entry into further learning or for some business positions. Whatever your needs, this is a great location to follow the school motto of "Living it is Learning it."

Other comments: They have an excellent lunch service with homemade Mexican cuisine at very affordable prices. Also the school is located inside a roomy traditional hacienda style building with an open courtyard which adds to the overall atmosphere. On the other hand, I found that the school's policy of basing their prices in American currency made the school more expensive and somewhat punitive for Canadians.
