Without making any paper waste, my Spanish was quadrupled in just 3 weeks. The classes are small, outrageously fun and conversational. I took advantage of the free yoga every morning, the evening culture classes, the weekend optional excursions and most importantly the host family living arrangements. It was, hands down, the most valuable part of the experience. The host family lived near and gave me a bicycle for the duration of my stay. The hosts were warm, welcoming, accommodating and made Mexican food from scratch every single day. My vocabulary blossomed during these family meals, where the human experience is so universal, you take part in these conversations and next thing you know, you're fluent. Cannot speak highly enough of the Meztli School for putting this all together.

It was a big decision for me to go to Meztli, because I found myself with a month to spare, but not…read morea huge budget, and as a social worker, it's been really important for me to learn spanish. All I can say is, IT WAS THE BEST DECISION EVER! I stayed for a month--which means I had EVERY teacher there is at Meztli. Every single teacher there genuinely wants to be there, which is probably the most important part of it: they love it, and they love the students. Secondly, their methods are so effective. One of my favorite things is that they rotate your teachers (one teacher for grammar; then after break, a new teacher for conversation). You don't get used to one way of speaking or teaching, and it keeps you on your toes. I also did 2 hours of private classes after group classes, with two different teachers all 4 weeks. Staying with a host family was a dream for me, and I know i'll be in touch with them for years to come. The way the school is directed and run is so thoughtful. Sara, the director, truly cares for every students happiness and safety and experience overall. The outings are so fun, and EXTREMELY reasonably priced. and by the way, yoga is a huge benefit. it's taught so well, and it taught me verb tenses, directions, and body parts in no time. Cannot wait to go back. Meztli, si tu estas leyendo, te extraño! Gracias por todo, nos vemos a pronto en Skype! Me digo a mismo, cantas, no llore!!! :-)

Amansala was hands down one of the best days of our Tulum trip. We came here on Christmas Day to…read moreenjoy the beach and ended up staying all day just lounging, sipping drinks, eating amazing food, and soaking up the beautiful, laid-back energy of the place. The vibe is everything you want Tulum to be: boho, chic, relaxed, and full of gorgeous people just enjoying life. The food was fabulous, the drinks kept coming, and every corner of the property feels like a postcard. Yes, it's a splurge and yes, I'm slightly embarrassed by how much I spent but honestly, I would do it all over again in a heartbeat. If you're looking for the ultimate beach-day escape in Tulum, this place is worth every peso.

Everyone was really friendly also

I took the 7:30 am class, which in my opinion it's the best option because there is hardly anyone at the beach. I definitely recommend taking this classes. The whole crew is wonderful.

Todd and Mark are super nice guys, very helpful, patient, and great with the kids. They gave us a quick SUP lesson, and then we were on our way SUPing through the beautiful, crystal clear Cancun waterways. The tour might be a little much for young kids to paddle the entire way, but a child can sit on a board as an adult paddles if you are up for that. Mark offers a great option for an additional fee - he will capture your SUP experience with a GoPro so you can focus on relaxing and having fun. Thanks guys!

Really thankful to have found Cruz Roja while in Cancun. Originally our hotel, like many previous…read morereviews, sent us to Hospiten. We followed their guidance and that was a mistake. Over $400 USD for a consultation by a nurse for a few stitches. We were told it would be $2,500 USD minimum. We don't have that type of money. They informed us that we could leave after we've been discharged. After a very long wait and no one showed we finally convinced someone to let us pay the "consult" bill and leave. Then comes our saving grace Cruz Roja (Red Cross). It's a first come, first serve concept. You really need to know Spanish or have a translator for the billing/signing in. The doctor was very friendly and better transparent. It was rather refreshing. The pricing was upfront. The stitches were 480 MX (~$24 USD) and we were in and out under an hour. We were told of prescriptions to pick up at the pharmacy as well. Honestly, a major blessing. Fair warning - it's pesos or credit card only

Was on a trip in Cancun with my boyfriend and some friends when my boyfriend came down with bad…read morefood poisoning. The hotel that I was staying at recommended that I go to Hospiten, but I read many bad reviews of them overcharging tourists ($5000 USD) because the resort and Hospiten have an agreement to scam tourists. I went on Yelp and found Cruz Roja Mexicana, and took a taxi to the clinic. There were a lot of people, but the doctors and staff were efficient and quick, and treated my boyfriend swiftly. They gave him an IV and prescribed medication (he was in the clinic for about an hour and a half), and we were able to pick up the medicine at the pharmacy right next door. The treatment itself cost about $30 USD, and the medication was about $15 USD, much less than the hospitals nearby. Overall, I would highly recommend this clinic if you are having an emergency and need treatment ASAP. I would suggest having a Spanish speaker with you, though, as there was only one person working that spoke English in the clinic and they were quite busy.
