Breakfast and dinner are included at a local restaurant. Both facilities are two blocks from the school and one block from the beach. Homestay is offered in the towns of Villareal and Santa Rosa, which are located 6 kilometers from Tamarindo. The houses are small, clean, comfortable and fairly rustic. After classes the students take the public bus back.
Space is very limited in the homestay and advanced registration is required.
C ultural Playa Tamarindo is on Costa Rica's west coast on the Nicoya Peninsula and is one of the most popular destinations for people wanting to visit the beach and enjoy the outdoors. The white sand beaches and crystal clear waters attract nature lovers, surfers, turtle watchers and sun seekers all year round, even in the rainy season. Though it is a great tourist destination, the town and area still have a very Costa Rican feel. Local fisherman and farmers still live and work as their families have for generations before them. Start Dates Courses begin every Monday and are held every weekday of the year except in the case of national holidays.
