No, the accommodation doesn’t have air conditioners. Most of the houses and hotels in Puerto de la Cruz do not have air conditioning because we have a mild climate (average of 23ºC) and very few really hot or cold days.

Who can I talk to if there is any kind of problems or questions?

Please refer to our staff at the school reception.

Will there be someone welcoming me even if I arrive late at night?

You can collect your shared apartment key at any time. Host families welcome their students as well, no matter the time.

How do I get the key to my apartment?

Shared apartment: If you arrive on your own, there is a meeting point to collect the key. If you have booked a transfer for your arrival, the driver will give you the apartment key. Homestay: The host family will provide the key. In either case, we will send you all the information you need prior to your arrival.

Are meals included in the price?

In shared apartments, only self-catering is available. The price for a homestay includes breakfast or half board.

Check-in is on Sundays after 2 PM. Check-out is on Saturday before 12:00 PM. However, one extra night before Sunday or after Saturday can be booked on request.

How far away is the accommodation from the school?

That depends on the type of accommodation. Most of the accommodations are situated within 5 to 20 minutes walking distance from the school.
