I was an English teacher in the the school for over a month. I went surfing at San Mateo and Murciélago, but you really have to go to Santa Marianita. If you go at low tide, there's a better chance of catching the waves. There's a surf shop at Murciélago, run by René, located in the restaurant area. If you want to go to a place where the food is good, you have to walk a little; it's by the Hospital area. It's called 'Home Coffee Restaurant,' and they always give you an appetizer and a main dish for $3, it's delicious.

At first, I was a little nervous about safety, since I'd read so many different things online. But in the end, I stayed for four weeks — and it turned out to be a wonderful experience. Everything felt very safe, and the manager, Jonathan, always made sure I felt comfortable and supported. I could choose between staying with a family or at a hotel, and I'm so glad I chose the family. They were incredibly kind and made me feel at home. I had both private and group classes, and all of them were super fun! The atmosphere was always positive, and everyone was motivated and full of joy :)
