Study Spanish and Surf Mexico

Homestays and other Accommodation

At Puerto we have three options available for you: Home stay, "Pseudo homestay" and Hotel

Home Stay

 "If you would like to immerse yourself in the Spanish language and the Mexican culture, we arrange homestays with local families. Homestays, including food and housing, cost approximately $150 U.S. a week, depending on the family, the time of year and the exchange rate. The school hand-selects host families for homestays. All host families have a sincere desire to invite foreign visitors into their homes and have been versed in safe preparation of food. All homestays provide private rooms with the necessary amenities.

Pseudo Home Stay

We also offer a "pseudo homestay" option where students stay at a family-owned small "hotel" with a host family that lives in-house. Students have their own room with a private bath and arrangements have been made for them to share meals with the host family. The host family also loves to spend time with the students and speaking Spanish with them allows them to better get to know their guests.  Many students think that this is the best of both worlds. They have the freedom to come and go as they please without feeling like someone is watching over them and the opportunity to practice their Spanish with a family. Price is  $13 per day for single occupancy and $20 per day for double occupancy. (NB except during the two weeks of Easter, between July 15th and August 15th and the last two weeks in December when the prices are $26 and $40 respectively)


For all homestays, the school charges a one time $20 U.S  set up fee for making the arrangements.  Please note that Home stays are limited in number and availability can change on a daily basis with bookings so we can not confirm availability until we receive your application from.


To reserve a homestay, a $50 U.S. deposit (completely applicable to your lodging) is required. An additional deposit of $20 U.S. per week (payable in advance but completely applicable to your subsequent weeks of lodging) is required to reserve your homestay for each week thereafter.

Hotel or Apartment rental

If a homestay does not suit your needs, there are plenty of hotel and other accommodations ranging from $10-$250 a night that can be found in Puerto Escondido. Visiting www.pacificcoasttravelinfo.com & www.zicaelaproperties.com will give you an idea of the other options available. Please mention that you will be studying with us.
