Only Habla Ya Spanish Students are eligible for the special extended stay rates that appear on this page when they make their reservation through us. These special rates are offered to our students due to the amount of traffic that we generate for these hotels. Most of our recommended lodging options are located within walking distance to the school (3 - 10 minutes). If you prefer to be just out of town, Boquete Garden Inn (5 minute taxi drive or 30 minute walk) and Casa Pedro Boquete (10 minute drive, 1 hour walk) are a great choice.

Family Home Stay Start and Ending Dates
Students should try (the emphasis is on the word try... it's not mandatory) to start their home stay on the Saturday before their Spanish course begins. BUT IF THEY CAN'T, NO WORRIES... WE ARE VERY FLEXIBLE! Once Habla Ya has the student's arrival details, a pickup in David is arranged (either at the aiport or at the bus station). After the student is picked up in David (40 minute drive to Boquete) a short visit to the school takes place and afterwords, they will be taken to their host family.
If students plan to arrive between the Monday and Friday before their course begins we ask them to please let us know in order to make sure that their intended host family is available beforehand (another student might still be at it). And if students intend to arrive on the Sunday before their course begins, we also need to know their arrival details to David so that we can arrange their pickup.
If students were to arrive in David out of office hours (before 8 a.m. or after 5:30 p.m.), a pickup can also be arranged for an additional $10 on top of the home stay setup fee. Otherwise they will have to arrive to their host family's house on their own (they will be given their host family's address!). If on their first day in Boquete, they arrive too late (after 8 p.m.), they might have to spend that night in a hotel or hostel of their choice (again, we can help!). With certain host families it could not be considered polite to start an Immersion Program so late a night.
Once they know, students should inform us about their travel arrangements and estimated time of arrival to David as this will avoid the family having to wait at home unnecessarily. Families also like to receive their new family member with a special meal so they highly appreciate knowing when you intend to arrive.
Please remember to specify all these details in our Pre-Program Interview but if you still don't have your exact travel details, don't worry: we will ask you and remind you to give them to us because we need to know them =), but it's better if you fill out the interview as long as you already know the weeks in which your Immersion Program will start and end because in that way we will be able to reserve the most adequate host family for you.

Home stays usually begin on Saturdays at noon. If you plan to arrive before Saturday (or on the Sunday before your course begins) or if you would like to stay for more days after your course has ended, please let us know about your intentions so that we can plan ahead of time taking into account host family availability or any other arrangments needed to be made.
Family Home Stay Fees
The cost given is as per day of accommodation with a local family. Prices are shown in U.S. dollars. We normally place only one student with each local family (unless it's a couple or family traveling together). We do this to "force" you to speak Spanish. The number of students column refers to arrangements for couples and families or friends traveling together who wish to be placed within the same local family.

Laundry facilities can also be used for a $5 fee per load of cloths.
