Punta del Este ratings & opinions
What our students said about Punta del Este
5.0
Personally, I don't like Punta del Este much at all, so I was happy that the school is actually in nearby Maldonado, which has a more downmarket, relaxed feel to it

Most recent student reviews of language schools in Punta del Este

The friendliness, informality, flexibility and competence with which the teaching and accommodation were organised, alongside the excellent tuition I received from my Argentinian teacher (Matías)
I am particularly grateful to the school management for giving me additional access to the accommodation both before and after my actual tuition dates.
