Turrialba ratings & opinions
How our students rated their experience
What our students said about Turrialba
It’s perfect as a place to learn Spanish as there are so few tourists but the downside is that tourist care is limited and it’s quite hard to arrange trips. For example it would have been nice to go to the beach for the weekend but arranging transport (to and from) and accommodation involved a lot of planning and uncertainty. And a trip to the volcano was also complicated to arrange (but I did manage that!). It would have been great to have more practical information on hand in the town (or at the school?).
Turrialba is a beautiful town without a lot of activities in the town itself. It is worth visiting the volcanoes (Irazu and Turrialba) or walking to the waterfalls. A rafting tour on the Rio Pacuare is also highly recommended.
Normally, there are plenty of interesting activities to do. But I couldn't really take advantage of that aspect.
For long periods it can be boring. Economically, it's quite expensive for something ordinary.
Nice waterfalls and nature nearby, the city is unspectacular

Most recent student reviews of language schools in Turrialba
SbtR is a very nice place with very simple rooms. Classes are held on one of the terraces facing the jungle garden or indoors. My teacher was top. We only spoke Spanish from the beginning. As I had previous knowledge, we were able to do everything with paraphrases and explanations in Spanish. Which was very good. Thank you Krisya. There are hammocks and a cosy sofa corner. Bathrooms are new and clean. Kitchen has all the basic utensils and a basic supply of oil and spices etc.
