Making Friends Among the Students
The same reviewer describes the friendships that followed:
“My husband and I made friends with other students and we have already had the opportunity to meet one of our new friends and her partner in Los Angeles for lunch and many laughs. We are now invited to meet them in New York City or wherever else our paths cross.”

A Non-Studying Guest Who Stayed Engaged
Risa B (Solo traveler, May 2022) described her husband’s week, which included the hotel and special activities but not the language lessons:
“My husband came as my ‘plus one,’ meaning he did not participate in the language learning but stayed at the hotel (he loved it!) and joined the immersion students for special activities. He was embraced and enjoyed it all.”

Bottom Line
Reviewers who attended without studying Spanish describe being welcomed into the program’s activities and forming friendships with students. Risa B’s husband stayed at the hotel and joined the special activities. Prospects who are not studying can expect to take part in the social side of the program. Both reviews are from people who attended, so prospects should weigh them as two accounts.
