About Your Location
Founded in 1998, Spanish by the Sea - Bocas del Toro, is one of three options in Panama to take spanish classes. On the main island of Isla Colon, the school is one block off Main Street where you can easily walk to restaurants, tour operators, bank, bars, shops, airport, hotels, coffee shops, etc. The variety of Caribbean cultures native to the island mixed with its booming tourism industry creates an intriguing hub for linguistic and cultural exchange. Bocas is also a biologists dream come true. The conservation and preservation efforts have successfully protected much of the Caribbean wildlife here, including four of the eight species of sea turtles that nest on these beaches.
The largest of our 5 schools, it houses up to 30 students, a large front garden with fruit and palm trees, tropical plants, lounge chairs and hammocks for easy studying; and 8 unique teaching stations that create the perfectly relaxed environment to attend class.

Surfing in Bocas del Toro
Bocas del Toro has only recently been discovered as a surf hotspot and although it is becoming one of the most popular destinations in Panama, it is remarkably uncrowded compared to its neighbor Costa Rica. Bocas del Toro has two distinct surf seasons: the winter wet season is from November till March, when the waves are usually at their biggest, and the short summer season from June to August. These two periods are the best for those looking for more advanced surf. The remaining months of April, September and October generally have beautiful weather with small surf. The most ordinary waves are reef breaks, but there are also some beach breaks. There are few rights but the lefts are widely ranged. Bocas del Toro’s waves normally favor short boards. The nearest surf spot is located 10 minutes from our Spanish school and getting there requires a watertaxi.

Boende
In Bocas del Toro you can choose between two different accommodation types. As a standard we accommodate our clients in a hostel. Should you wish to stay in a local Bed & Breakfast, let your travel advisor know and they will help you with the booking.
Hostel (School Residence)
If you like to be independent, yet share with fellow students, we recommend staying at our hostel while studying Spanish in Bocas del Toro. The dorm rooms are shared by up to 4 students, but if you don’t mind paying a little more, you can have your own private room. The bathrooms are always shared. We also have multiple hammock lounges, a big shared kitchen and an open air feel in the communal space where students can study, chat or watch TV together. Free WiFi, coffee and tea are part of the deal.
Local Bed & Breakfast
A Bed & Breakfast with a local family in Bocas del Toro gives you the opportunity to stay in a local house, where you will have breakfast and get a chance to chat with the family every once in a while, but don’t expect too much interaction with the family. The rooms in the Bed & Breakfast are private with shared bathrooms, however, you can always pay a bit more and get a private bathroom. The Bed & Breakfast includes breakfast which is typically Panamanian, nevertheless, your host family can adapt a little upon request (e.g. considering your diet). In Bocas del Toro you first need to go to the school so that once we are sure the family is home, we can explain to you how to get there on foot or by taxi. If you would like to have more of a host family experience with a lot of family interaction, a language course in Turrialba, Costa Rica is a great option.
