Simply known as “Playa,” this small Caribbean fishing village on the Mayan Riviera is Cancun’s laid-back neighbor (approximately 35 minutes from Cancun’s international airport and 40 minutes from Tulum). Playa is a great place to enjoy the cultural and historic richness of Mexico and the Mayan people. It attracts people from all over the world because of its relaxed, tropical atmosphere and its unmatched beautiful beaches. Despite a rapidly growing population and increased popularity as a tourist destination, the residents of “Playa” are committed to maintaining their city’s bohemian charm and relaxed pace. Our school in Playa del Carmen is just 6 blocks from the white sand beaches.
My two teachers were great, with good knowledge and structure. Disappointing that the hours for me were cut, While I understand the logic, I really think is it not good practice.

I probably should have taken an English course on how to conjugate English verbs before i tried to do that in Spanish.
The teacher was very pleasant, patient and the material was presented in an organized and logical way. We had 7 students in our class, which is one more than what is advertised. I think there should also be a verbal test given in addition to the written one, as some of the students in the group where I was placed had trouble putting a few words together. Because of this I often felt as we were losing valuable learning time. The outdoor classroom was adequate but hot and one student kept turning off the fan while the rest of us sat there being too hot. The teacher should have taking a majority vote. This is a democratic society, I think.
