Comment from Brian Williammee (Philadelphia/United States)

I really enjoyed my time at Academia D'Amore, and I felt I learned a lot every class. I highly recommend the school as well as Quepos/Manuel Antonio in general. My teacher planned classes specifically for me. The grammar we covered addressed my specific weaknesses, and we covered vocabulary related to my career (IT). I already spoke a fair amount of Spanish prior to my trip, so a lot of the class was directed conversation aimed at increasing my comfort level with spoken Spanish. After a couple days, I really had a lot more confidence discussing the day's news, politics, etc. My teacher was helpful, friendly, knowledgeable, patient, and insightful. The rest of the staff was also wonderful, and reserved tours for me for after class. My host mother was very kind and a fantastic cook. The facility has a fantastic view of the ocean. Manuel Antonio is a beatiful place.

Comment from Ashley Ambirge (Philadelphia/United States)

Out of all of the Spanish Immersion schools, D'Amore is the one to be at! I first attended the school in 2004 - I stayed for an entire semester, and not only got the credits but really became fluent in Spanish! Eventually, people started thinking I was a local...that, or Colombian because of my ‘accent!‘ Since, I've returned to Manuel Antonio 6 additional times and still keep in contact with everyone from the school - they became like family! I couldn't say better things about this school - it changed my life in so many ways (cliche, but true). I'd sit in a classroom one-on-one speaking nothing but Spanish, and then during the afternoon hit the beach for pina coladas with my pals! The experience was irreplacable, and I credit the staff at D'Amore for being so good at what they do - from their vast knowledge of the Spanish language, to making you feel right at home. PURA VIDA!
