We cannot put enough emphasis on how important it is to choose appropriate accommodation during your Spanish course in Panama. Accommodation is an integral part of your study experience. All of our accommodation options are carefully selected. Each host family, hostel, hotel, bed & breakfast, apartment & cabin is approved & overseen by Habla Ya Language Center. The quality is monitored by regular visits, phone calls and student feedback.
Live with a local host family while you learn Spanish in Boquete
Living with a Panamanian family during your Spanish course is an incredible cultural experience. A homestay offers you an amazing opportunity to practice Spanish in a natural, relaxed and authentic atmosphere as well as being in a unique and privileged position to get immersed in the Latin American culture, cuisine, customs and daily way of life.
We have many different types of families and this allows us to choose the host family that best suits you. With our homestay program each student is given his own private room and can choose from having breakfast, half board (breakfast and dinner) or full board (three daily meals). Most of our host families in Boquete are within walking distance to our Spanish school and very few of them are within a short ride using public transportation.

Selecting the perfect family for each immersion student is the key to organizing a successful language immersion program. We ask every immersion student to carefully fill out an Immersion Pre-Program Interview that will help us choose the best family for their Latin Cultural & Spanish Immersion Program. It really helps to know more about you before choosing your host family.
Recommended Hostels, Hotels and Bed & Breakfasts
There is a very wide variety of places to stay in Boquete, ranging from very simple hostels, to extremely luxurious country inns. We have selected the best places to stay at within each price range and negotiated special prices for our Spanish students for extended visits (at least 1 week).
Broadly speaking hotels can be divided into three categories: low price range hotels, mid price range hotels, and top price range hotels.
Low price range hotels will typically cost between $8 and $15 U.S. dollars per night, depending on the hostel and the time of the year. Accommodation and facilities are shared and basic, but clean and welcoming. The staff at our selected hostels provides a friendly and professional costumer service. Hostels are a good option for backpackers and students seeking an environment with a younger atmosphere, a chilled out energy or a lively party vibe.

The prices given above for hotels are indicative and are the lowest prices available for each category. These prices are only for our students when they study with us for at least 1 week.

Apartments, Homes & Cabins for Rent: Boquete Vacation Rentals
We can help you find a number of furnished apartments available for rent, which you can share with other students who are traveling with you, or you can also rent a house on your own for your exclusive use. This is a very good option for families or groups of friends who plan to study at our school and are looking for a vacation rental that will allow them to live at their own home during their extended stay in Boquete.
We have a list of websites with classified ads and offerings of places to rent and for lease, a list of real estate agents in Boquete and a list of places that students have rented in the past. In some occasions you will be put in direct contact with the owner and in others we will help as the owners prefer it in that way when it comes to our students.
