davannayoga offers different daily instructors all of whom excellently provide their own personal and unique yoga session. As someone who is into the physical part of yoga, I have learned to understand the spiritual and breathing exercises. The best part is the 15 min savasana. You have to try it!

Bienvenido! to Josefina's Cocina con Alama. "Alma" the word for soul in Spanish is how authentic Mexican cooking begins. We invite you to explore and taste the many wonders of Mexcian cuisine through hands-on instruction with the wonderful cook & chef, Josefina. Join Josefina in her Cozumel home and kitchen for a day to learn how to make regional Yucatecan delights as well as other Mexican dishes.

We enjoyed learning how to make all our favorite dishes including refried frijoles, nopales salad, homemade tortillas, guacamole, mayan squash, margaritas and our favorite, achiote marinade. Josephina and her assistant are warm and inviting and very knowledgeable. My husband and I enjoyed the 5 hours we spent cooking and learning with Josephina. We will definitely take another class the next time we are in Cozumel.

My wife and I had an amazing experience with this school for 6 weeks in July and August 2020. During this pandemic, everything in Oaxaca was a bit different than normal. Even without many students, Ileana went out of her way to make sure that we could experience various excursions each week....barro negro pottery, Teotitlan weaving, an artisanal mezcal distillery, alebrijes artisans, papel picado, and several others. We worked with four wonderful teachers – Edgar, Karen, Juan Jose and Luis. Each teacher met us at our individual Spanish level. They were kind, patient, and encouraging. Under their instruction, our Spanish learning exceeded our expectations! We opted to stay with a host family, Patricia and Pedro. They were incredibly hospitable to us, and speaking with them gave us good Spanish practice outside of school hours. Patricia catered to our vegetarian food preferences....she is a great cook! Overall, I would highly recommend this school. We feel like we got an excellent experience and we hope to return soon.

We celebrated my husband's big birthday this February in Playa del Carmen and hired Tona to create a feast for 9 adults and 3 kids. He and his assistant Luigi prepared delicous guacamole (some for the grownups, some for the kids), spectacular ceviche, a jicama salad, and assorted tacos. Plus a big birthday cake with a Roman candle as the finale. He was friendly, funny, a little bossy (DON'T put the hot tortillas on your plate until you've assembled all the ingredients!) and made delicious food. It was a great party, thanks to him.

I tried a couple of spa places in Loreto and hands down Spa Las Flores had the best customer service (Gracias Sergio! ⭐️☺️). Great massage with Gabi and pedicure with Rosa. Very satisfied with the quality of the service. Will definitely be back! The complimentary Mojito was so delicious! If you are staying a bit too far to walk, the spa might be able to arrange a pick up - drop off service. Enjoy ladies!!!!

At Español Interactivo Language School, we focus on teaching you Spanish and developing your conversational skills. Unlike some other schools, we don't distract you with a lot of extra activities. In the classroom, exploring Oaxaca, or a combination of both. Our courses are as intensive and for as long as you need. We plan learning strategies with you and monitor your progress, with the goal of improving your oral expression.

I spent three weeks at the school in October and November to improve my ability to speak in Spanish. The school focuses primarily on conversational methods rather than grammatical. As an intermediate student, I felt that the classes definitely helped me achieve a new level of ability. The classes were small, with 2 or 3 students in each class. The teachers are kind, patient and dedicated to helping each student get the most out of their experience. Several highlights included building an “ofrenda” in the school to celebrate Día de los Muertos and also celebrating a student’s birthday with a traditional piñata fiesta, also there were several field trips to local museums and an art gallery. I stayed with a local family, recommended by the school and enjoyed the friendship, good food and cultural experience the home stay adds.

I loved everything about Escuela Falcon. The teachers are patient, kind, clear and knowledgable. I was only there for a week (20 hours at 4 hours a day) but I learnt so much and am so much more confident now. My Spanish is still basic but I can have conversations now and ask important questions as I continue my travels through Mexico. I was taught my Mauricio, Ivonne, Camila and Ricardo. They were all great but very different in their teaching styles. This combination worked really well though for me, as I got a good balance and got to hear lots of different accents. I would highly recommend this school (there are also tons of fun social activities organised that help the community to bond), and hope to visit again in the future!
