- Home Stay - Sunday - Saturday Inclusive - from £90 per room per week
-
Choose a Home Stay with a local family to enhance your language learning experience. Your hosts may be a couple, family or a single person. All hosts are sociable, like to meet new people and can give a warm welcome to students giving you the opportunity to practice your language skills on a daily basis. Staying with an Ecuadorian family in the local village will give you an opportunity to be fully immersed in Ecuadorian life. However, please note it is important to be aware that your accommodation will be very basic as locals live a simple life so do not expect any modern facilities; there will be no televisions, washing machines or air conditioning, for example. You will be living as the locals do in the basic surroundings. You will have your own private room and bed, unless you are travelling as a couple, and there will be a flush toilet available. You will be provided with breakfast and dinner each day and room prices run from Sunday evening before your course starts to the Sunday morning after your course has finished.

- Eco-Friendly Cabanas - Sunday - Saturday Inclusive - from £45 per room per week
-
Stay in an eco-friendly, Polynesian style ‘cabana’ made with eco-friendly building materials. In an effort to help the environment the cabanas use recycled water to water the large garden (please bring biodegradable soap and shampoo if possible), a recycling system solar powered outside lighting and rainwater collection for the swimming pool and Jacuzzi. Cabana accommodation is the perfect combination of excellent location and tranquillity with a bit of added luxury. Cabanas are available for private single or twin occupancy or you have the option to share as a dorm mixed with a maximum of four other students. All cabanas are spacious, have full ensuite bathroom facilities and are just two minutes from the beach. There is also a large communal kitchen that you can use to prepare your meals. Please note that demand for the Cabanas is high; if the cabanas are fully booked you will be placed in a hostel or other cabins not far from the site and you will still be able to access all the facilities that the Cabanas offer. Prices are based on arrivals on the Sunday evening before your course starts and end on the Saturday morning after your course has finished.
