Maximo Nivel Quepos

Overall, the Maximo Nivel institute is a pretty good place to learn Spanish. The teachers are very interactive and motivated to help you learn, and they are locals as well. The classes include both grammar lessons and a fair amount of talking back and forth. The school itself is not in Manuel Antonio, but a small town called Quepos about 15 minutes away from Manuel Antonio. However there are buses that can take you to and from both towns for under a dollar. Overall, the program is a good way to brush up on Spanish against a beautiful tropical backdrop!
