Locations

Hotel Zone HousingHotel zone housing options are either on the beach or walking distance to the beach, and a bus ride to the school.

Downtown Housing:  Downtown (el centro) is where the school is located and where the majority of the locals live.  It is cheaper and much less touristy than the hotel zone, and gives you more opportunities to practice your Spanish.  Most downtown housing is walking distance to the school, a 10-15 minute bus ride to the nearest beaches.

Home Stays:  A great way to practice your Spanish.  We can arrange home stays for students who would like to stay with a local family. The options vary by location and amenities such as air-conditioning and private bath, and all include at least 2 meals per day.

Punta Sam & Puerto Juarez Punta Sam and Puerto Juarez are on the beach, north of downtown Cancun and the hotel zone, near the ferry to Isla Mujeres. It is a beachfront area with an entirely different atmosphere than Cancun's main hotel zone.  It is far more laid-back and much more like downtown Cancun as far as restaurants and shops.  It is a 10 minute bus or taxi ride to the school.
