don Quijote Playa del Carmen

Overview

The Playa del Carmen school teaches Spanish near the town centre and beach. Its classrooms include covered spaces that open onto the garden. The campus suits learners who want group study with opportunities to use Spanish around town. The school lists a café and outdoor common areas, and offers several lodging formats within the destination. Ten of the school’s sixteen teaching rooms are in thatched palapas in the tropical garden. The campus also lists student computers and Wi-Fi, an outdoor café for informal study and a sand volleyball court. The garden and common areas give students somewhere to meet classmates outside lessons, while the central location makes it practical to spend part of the day in town. This campus is a good fit if you prefer a small group and a mix of indoor and covered outdoor spaces. The school provides an online level check before arrival and an oral check after arrival so students can be placed in a suitable class.
