Hostel (School Residence):
If you like to be independent, yet share with fellow students, we recommend staying at our hostel whilst you study Spanish in Boquete. We have 4 bedrooms with a shared bathroom. Each room can be shared by up to 2 students, but you if you don’t mind paying a little more you can have your own private room. There is also one private room with a private bathroom. A kitchen is available to everybody staying in the hostel. There is Cable TV at the school, so lots of movies, music and information in Spanish (and English) is available. We also offer a continental breakfast in the morning for USD4 (to be paid locally).
Local Homestay:
Our homestay in Boquete, Panama gives you the opportunity to live with a host family. Living with a local family is a unique experience that will provide you with the opportunity to not only learn the language but also explore the culture. Our host families have been carefully selected. The rooms are private and have shared bathrooms. Home stays include breakfast and laundry but if you pay a bit more you can get dinner and lunch included as well. Food is typical Panamanian, nevertheless most families can adapt a little upon request (e.g. considering people’s diets). If you don’t use our pick-up service, you need to call the school to let us know at what time you will arrive in Boquete so your host family can welcome you at the school or at the bus station.
