Lodging

1. Where can I stay in Cuernavaca?

We strongly recommend staying with one of the host families chosen by Ideal, as they are the perfect complement to your Spanish program. There are other options for students who want more privacy and independence, including hotels, hostels, rented houses and apartments; these options are usually much more expensive (hotels) or impractical (rented houses and apartments).

2. How much does lodging cost?

The average cost for a week's lodging with 3 meals a day in a shared room (with another student) with a host family is $168 USD.

3. What does lodging with a host family include?

Lodging with a host family includes a room and your choice of meal plan (3 meals a day or just breakfast).

4. What does lodging with a host family not include?

Laundry, telephone calls, and use of the host family's kitchen, vehicles and private areas are not included in lodging with a host family.

5. Do host families provide bedclothes and towels?

Yes. The rooms reserved for students have clean towels and sheets, which are changed at least once each week. We recommend bringing a towel for personal use away from the host family's home (for swimming or gym use, for example).
