Accommodations

FOR SPANISH IMMERSION

Homestay

Living with a local family is a great way to learn more about the language and culture here in Guanacaste. Locals are friendly, helpful and very accepting of other cultures. At Nosara Spanish Institute, our families are carefully selected and guided by a set of established regulations to ensure our students a comfortable and enjoyable experience. Our current homestay families live throughout the town of Esperanza, Garza and downtown Nosara. Esperanza is within one kilometer of NSI, approximately a twenty-minute walk or five-minute bicycle ride. Downtown Nosara is located 4km inland. Garza is a beautiful beachside town approximately 10 minutes from the school. Students staying in Nosara or Garza can either take the public bus or a taxi to and from Guiones. For the adventurous, biking is also an option.
