Downtown (el centro) is  where the majority of the locals live.  Most housing options are walking distance to the school, a 5-10 minute bus ride to the nearest beaches, much less touristy than the hotel zone, and gives you more opportunities to practice your Spanish!

Our homestays options are located further out from the center of downtown, and are not walking distance to the school, but are a short bus or taxi ride away. Most do not have AC or private bath. Homestays cannot accommodate more than two people per home. None of the families have young children at home, and may not be equipped for small children.  All homestays require a 1-week minimum stay.

HOTELS

DOWNTOWN HOTELS
Click the link for more info and to reserve on-line.
For the most part, the downtown hotels don't offer anything near the luxury or amenities of the Hotel Zone properties.  They will, however, give you the opportunity to stay in a popular resort without paying resort prices.  And staying downtown gives you much more local Mexican flavor. Many downtown hotels have pools, as well as free shuttle service to the beach.  By public bus, the nearest beaches are 5 to 10 minutes away from downtown.
