Best Aesthetic Courses In Cartagena Near Me

Derek Negron: The entire experience was a great one - the communication, consultation, hospitality, operation, post-observation care, staff, surgeon, doctors, and facility are all five stars! I highly recommend!

Jacklina Polyakov: Absolutely amazing, there isn’t enough nice things that I can say about Premium Care.. They really take care of their patients and the accommodations are like no other; they even helped me get a nanny so I can enjoy a smooth recovery with my baby with me. I have sent my mom, husband and even came back for more surgeries. Daniella has been so attentive and responsive at coordinating and making sure that we are absolutely comfortable during our recovery period/stay. All of the nurses are so sweet and kind, I really connected with Lady, she’s extremely knowledgeable and gentle. I can confidently say that Dr.Alex & Dr. Carolina are masters at plastic surgery, and the results speak for themselves.

Fede B.: I am a Colombian living in the US. I had a major weightloss and unsightly excess body skin that did not allow me to enjoy the 100 lb loss. I give Dr. Campbell and Dra Restrepo a 5 star recommendation. I had surgery with them including a tummy tuck, liposuction and internal corset. Additionally they removed underarm fat deposits that would not retract. The transformation and look is amazing. Now 1 year later i still look and feel as great as I did the day of surgery. I stayed in their recovery suites and had absolutely the top care that you could not receive in the USA for less than $70k minimum for a 2 week stay. There is no doubt that they are the #1 premicum care provider in Las Americas.

Bailey Delbridge: I never write reviews and I had to write a raving review of the care I received from Premium Care. The entire process was very smooth and stress free starting with Pedro, my patient care coordinator. Pedro helped me every step of the way from arranging accommodations, drivers, billing, and recommending places for other cosmetic procedures during my stay. Dr. Campbell and his wife made me feel so comfortable with all the procedures and answered all my questions. Dr. Alex listened to exactly how I wanted my body to look and made recommendations for the best possible outcome. They are very personable. All the nurses were so sweet and caring from the moment you wake up from surgery. I specifically want to shout out Carmen. She came daily to give lymphatic massages. The first few after surgery were really painful, but she was so gentle and really took her time. I also loved Manuela! If you are thinking about plastic surgery go to Premium Care. You won't be disappointed!

Denises Pamela S.: I traveled from Texas to Cartagena for a breast augmentation on January 2023. I have nothing but great things to say about Premium Care. I’m currently 1 week post-op, but I’m loving my results. I was unsure on what size I wanted but during my consultation with Dr. Campbell he helped me by showing pictures of previous patients and come to a decision. The day of I was hesitant on the size that I picked because I wanted to go up. So before surgery, Dr. Campbell came to see me to go over the surgery and I told him I wanted to go more than the size I chose. He was very kind and said he will go up. After surgery, I was so happy with the size Dr. Campbell chose for me. He brought my vision to life.

Nyoka Robinson: The experience was unremarkable and perfect. Everyone was attentive, caring and kind. I felt safe Dr. Campbell and his wife were awesome. I travelled out of the country to go to Colombia on my own and every thing was arranged from airport pick to drop off. Fret not thy self, this is the place to go. I am a healthcare professional and let me tell you the service supersede my expectations, I am in all aspect. Everything was a 10/10 for me. I had done extensive research before going and trust me If you are looking for a safe place to be, look no further, this is it. You won’t regret it. I love my new look and I am just 3 weeks post op. The Doctors understood exactly what I wanted and that I got. How could I forget Pedro, Hannia, Miss Lopez, Diana, Vanessa, Alba, the lovely nurses. This is what you call recover in paradise in every sense. Thanks again everyone

Karina: After a couple of weeks of communication, I decided to set a date for my surgery, which will be August 12. Communication was excellent, but some things always get ignored, so I'm encouraged to write the review so that other people know all the expenses involved. Suppose you already have the quote for your surgery, and like me, you cannot stay in the recovery room that they offer because, due to the high demand, they do not have rooms available. In that case, you must rent a room in a hotel. In the recovery room that they offer, they only provide you with breakfast, and you must have a budget for your other meals, and it is the same if you go to a hotel. The hotels are between 95 or more per night, which is the same as they charge for their recovery room. I made my reservation but accidentally booked a hotel 1.7 miles from Bocagrande. So now I will have to pay for the transportation of the nurses and therapist to my hotel. I also have to pay for my transportation from the hotel to the clinic for my cures. I don't mind paying for my transportation because it is my responsibility. But paying for the nurse's and therapist's transportation does not seem fair to me. I wish they had explained all that to me when they told me they had no room in their recovery room and that I had to stay around. I think it is their responsibility to take care of the transportation of their nurses and therapist. The advisor told me not to worry that the therapist would go to where I was staying. But she left out that I would take care of her transportation according to "company policies." I hope another surprise charge doesn't turn up. I hope this can help you take into account all expenses when planning your surgery. I give them 3 stars for the lack of information.

skylar Carmona: After months of messaging and talking to different surgeons I finally found Premium Care. Im from the US and was nervous about coming to different country. So making the choice to start my search in local surgeons in the US and ending up with Colombia was because of the INCREDIBLE communication Ive had with the patient coordinator and the staff at Premium Care. Currently I'm 13 days post OP from a extended tummy tuck, breast implants,360 liposuction, arm lift and lip fat transfer. Ive had several surgeries in the US, and I've never received care like I have here. The doctors, the staff, the nurses, the recovery suits, EVERYTHING is incredible. The day after surgery i was up and walking, feeling great. They organized everything, they treated me like I was family and they genuinely cared about me. I honestly could not recommend them enough, this was the BEST medical experience of my life. Ive been actually exploring the city this week and going to the cafes with no trouble, thats how great I feel. And my results are INCREDIBLE. I had weightloss surgery in 2019, and at 28, i had a healthier body that I hated. 13 days ago I woke up with my dream body. And everyday it gets better and better. I wish I could express to this team and doctors how much theyve done for me. I will never forget this experience, I'll never look at medical care the same. Premium care has set the bar so high, I dont know that anyone will EVER measure up to what they provide.If you're thinking about coming here, DO IT.

Kara Messina: Do not walk, run to this place. I am in the medical field and have higher standards of care so I was really hesitant about going out of the country for cosmetic surgery. I had a thigh lift, arm lift, and breast lift - I could not be happier with everything.Dr. Campbell is American trained and board certified so there is nothing lost in translation with your expectations and what he and the other doctors will be doing. Most of the staff speak English and for when there is a little language barrier I just used Google translator.As a type A personality I was never left wondering where I needed to be or how I was to get there. The staff is always available via WhatsApp.A nurse will stay with you the first night after surgery, a nurse will come change your bandages every day, and they are always a text away if you have any concerns. No-one ever made me feel I was a bother and anything I needed or could have wanted was at my disposal.Also, spend the extra money and stay in the recovery suite. There is an attendant that is there every day from 6a to 3pm. They cook breakfast, which is included, and you can purchase lunch and dinner. I was there 2 weeks and my bill was under $200 for meals for me and my friend that was with me.I already booked my tummy tuck before I left.

Amanda Huntington: Durning quarantine I spent months researching different procedures and had a dozen zoom consultants to find the right Doctor. I had chosen a Breast Augmentation and Liposuction 360.On a mommy makeover facebook group Premium Care Plastic Surgery came up a few times. I was curious so I booked a consultant. Not thinking I would actually travel for surgery. But I wanted to see what the fuss was about. This place was special, you could tell right away.1st - the consultant with Dr Alex was to comfortable and not rushed. He took the time to listen to me, what I wanted and explained, in detail, how we could make it happen.2nd - after the consultant I was never bombarded with phone calls and text messages from pushy consultants.I was contacted by an extremely helpful associate named Pedro. He was never pushy and answered all my question. (There was a ton)I had narrowed my doctor choices down to two. One local and Premium Care.I ultimately chose Premium Care because The doctors are well educated and had amazing reviews, I saw dozens of thier patients on the private facebook group and I loved thier results. Plus, the only material they used for a BA is top of the line and would have cost a fortune locally.I also based my decision on the gorgeous recovery suite and after care you receive.With 4 kids at home, I would never have been able to the rest after surgery.With constant access to nursing care, and post-op massages in beautiful condo that overlooks the ocean, yes I definitely relaxed!The condos are in a gorgeous resort that is attached to a high-end mall and grocery store. Very convenient, and safe location right on the beach. I loved it!Honestly, I was taken care of from the consultant to current day. (4weeks post-op)I did run into an issue with a covid test needed to return home. This was completely my own fault. This forced me to extend my trip. I reached out to Pedro from Premium Care, and with in 15 minutes I was in a cab driving 30 minutes away directly to the lab. The cab driver stayed with me the entire time and interpreted with the lab to make sure I got the test that was required. This let me clean up the mishap in one day and not wait the 3-4 days that was customary. I am forever grateful for this. That alone was above and beyond.(Anyone traveling now won't have to worry about which kind of test they take, the rules have changed now.)The results!Oh my! I am soooooo happy. The BA size was ultimately left up to the doctor but I did give him an idea of what I was looking for.He picked the perfect size and shape to avoid a lift. They are gorgeous.The liposuction 360 is like a dream come true. The curves I have now make me getty. My confidence has shot up.This was the best gift I have ever given myself and I am so happy with the results.Again, I had an amazing experience with Premium Care plastic surgery. I can't say enough great things about them.I already have three friends who are planning thier own trips now. They wanted to wait to see how my experience was first.They didn't wait long and have already booked, lol.If you are looking for an amazing adventure, care, and results. Premium Care Plastic Surgery is the perfect place!

Wendy Nguyen: My sister and I we got back from Cartagena, Columbia. I have gotten the Mommy Makeover and my sister had the Tummy Tuck done. Dr. Campbell is absolutely excellent, the stuff is great. I definitely reccomend going here!

bernadette chrispin: I just came back from Cartagena . I had abdominoplasty and back lift surgery at Premium Care Plastic Surgery. I was amazed about the care I received. Premium Care exceeded my expectations. Dr Campbell and his wife are great. The entire staff is just amazing.What touched me the most is that Dr Campbell came to the recovery house for my last visit because it was a holiday, the office was closed and I was supposed to leave that day. I look and feel good. Now I am refering my friends to this place.

Jessica Hernández: I would look for someone else. Had lipo twice and found that this place was lacking in a lot. The first place i went to, i had focused on my stomach. I loved the results. This time i wanted to focus on my back. At premium care, they clearly tell you that if you are not happy with your results, that they will take care of the treated area again for free and you would only need to pay for the rented operating room they had at the time..... Literally one week after the surgery i told them i was not happy and she kept saying it was swelling. i knew it wasn't. It was very clear that she did not take out enough. At the consultation I was clear with what and how much a wanted removed, the doctor never told me that it was not going to be possible or that I was "dreaming" with the expected results. I wanted to remove all of my back fat and told her to focus on that. I also had my mid section done, but kept telling her to focus on my back. After the surgery she told me she did the opposite and didn't do what i asked. At the consultations she said it would look how i wanted and to not worry. "Don't worry" that's what she kept saying. I ended up hating that phrase because I felt she wasn't listening to me. As i mentioned, after the surgery I told her I wasn't happy and she said to wait a year. After the year I cam back to her and told her I would go back in a year to fix what she had not done. That's when all these excuses came up. Yes, i had gained some weight but nothing where it would have affected the area AT ALL. I promise this. The back fat was always there. She ended up telling me that i then needed to cut the skin (like a tummy tuck) and THAT would fix the issue. When I went to another doctor in the States, I told him what the doctor in colombia said and he said I was too young and my skin was very resilient and he didn't understand why she would recommend that. Long story short, the doctor did not honor what she said and three years on, here I am thousand of dollars out and the same exact results. I would also recommend you finding your own post-surgery masseuses as the one they had hired was really bad at their job and was only slightly caressing me instead of doing an actual massage. There are places around Bocagrande that specialize in this. I would have given high results because the place is very clean and i felt they were overall professional with how they treat you BUT the rest of the experiences were not good and therefore they deserve this rating so that they don't take advantage of anyone again.My advice is for people to be VERY clear and to get in writing with their signature what their guarantee is.

S H: The wife and I both went in for Liposuction, mainly around the midsection -The surgery results are absolutely great. And that is good for us.What is good for anyone curious about this location (especially from the US or traveling from elsewhere) is that the entire process was phenomenal. The price would be hard to beat on its own, especially taken into account the service. The location within the city, as well as the country itself is great and was easy to navigate and interact with people/locals.The staff speak and understand English fair to Perfect - so language barriers are not an issue. You never feel out of the loop, and the therapy following surgery is very nice although sometimes painful, but that is due to the fact that you are having elective surgery!Bear in mind it takes time to heal and see the results the way you want them. You may have panic attacks and doubt that your decision/investment was wise the week following surgery due to swelling/bruising - but this cannot be avoided here or anywhere else. We are both 2 weeks post surgery and are delighted with the results, which still have a ways to go as far as healing. Would recommend highly for anyone who intelligently decide plastic surgery is for them.

Marisol Gomez: I want to share my experience in premium care plastic surgery!!!!! I'm delighted!!!! With my new body!!!! The staff of the recovery suites are a love I miss them!!!! My surgery was on May 17, 2018 I had very low self-esteem now I am happy with the results the doctors do a very good job the very fine incisions are not noticeable I had a mommy makeover I in love with my new body!!!!! Thank you Carolina Restrepo and Dr Campbell you are the best doctors ever!!! I highly recommend them!!!!

Minnie Andrade: My experience at Premium Care Plastic Surgery was THE BEST care I’ve ever received. I am extremely thankful, I found the Premium care team online. After months of dedicated research, I knew this was the team to help me with my Mommy Makeover. From the moment of first contact via email their Coordinator Andrea was very helpful and always answered all my questions. Once I arrived to Cartagena, up until my departure everything was great! Even now with my post up emails 2 months later, they still provide exceptional customer service. All my questions were answered, all my nurses were amazingly sweet, supportive and courteous with me at all times. Dr. Campbell and Dra. Restrepo are very professional, kind and listened to all my concerns, questions and helped me be at ease especially the day of surgery. I highly recommend them and miss them all so much. They treated me as family and that is an experience I’ll never forget! Xo Minnie 3

LA (LA): Dr. Campbell and his wife doctor Carolina reputation speaks for itself please people do not listen to The Weasel bunch of lies from the pits of Hell. Dr Campbell and his wife r outstanding surgeons very trustworthy and they do very good work. I know someone who actually went to them and OMG what an amazing job did did I'm going in September and I'm looking forward to getting the work done. I just want to say to you people that are trying to sabotage their practice stopped because no one's going to believe you there reputation speaks for itself

MELISSA CROWDER: Love! Love! Dr. Campbell and his staff! I have been home now for about 3 weeks from having a tummy tuck, bbl, replacement of implants, and Lipo. I must say I miss the staff VERY much! They were amazing! I have never been so well taken care of ever in my life! They truly made you feel at home and part of their family! Nayiby was amazing! She made sure I was where I needed to be at all times, and even took me sight seeing! On day 3 I was at the mall next door shopping! Massages, nurses, house staff at the recovery suites... they were all so amazing, words just can not describe the care I received! I would do it all over again in a heart beat! I traveled alone from Texas and glad I did! Karen even took time out after surgery to call my husband to let him know how I was doing. If you are in search of plastic surgery, don't even consider anyone in the states! Come here it's AMAZING!! You will not be disappointed! I just want to say thank you to everyone who helped me in this journey! Xoxo

Wissal Yassine: I came here recently (April 23-29) for a breast augmentation all the way from New York. I have been to many many doctors in New York and I was not pleaser by their work and I wanted the gummy bear implants more then anything which I can't get here because of the price range and I have to be 22 years old. I was doing research on doctors in Colombia and I came across premium care plastic surgery and decided to give it a go, I emailed them and spoke with them for months after receiving my quote and I was pleased by my quote but nothing caught my eye more then the doctors fantastic work. Shortly, I was contacted by the doctor himself and he had spoken to me and I started getting comfortable with him and the staff. After almost 1 year of being In contact and researching, I gave it a go! After I got to Cartagena, I had a driver waiting for me and brought me to my recovery suite and Nayiby had met with me and greeted me along with a nurse! My second day, I met with the doctor and ran errands before my surgery and I was so comfortable around them all even on my second day! Anyways, after my procedure I was completely happy and satisfied and no words can even begin to explain how thankful I am. Dr Alex Campbell really took my biggest insecurity away and boosted my confidence, just last month I hated my looks and now even while they're still healing, I love my looks. The implants look fantastic and sit on my chest so great because of his fantastic work. The nurses really were on top of everything, they took really great care of me... Virginia who does the massages, does an amazing job at facials and massage (got a facial while I was there) . Everyone in premium care was like a dream come true, even with their service! They own up to their words more then any other plastic surgeon place. They really care for their patients more then anything! I will be coming back for lipo and bbl and I truly can't wait! Dr Alex Campbell is going to be my dr going forward. The premium care plastic family really treat you like family 💕

Andrea V: Excellent doctors and facilities, very attentive, helpful staff

Denise Tilson: Good experience I made my trip solo staying at Holiday Inn Express across the street good hotel 6 nights $499 staff excellent. Doctors staff an doc also very good. I only wish I had done this 10 yrs ago an not waited till 63 yrs old. I cannot fight the aging process an when I look at my smile I feel younger. Anyone want more of my journey story get in touch with Claudia.Sincerely Denise 😊

Sept Alix: Dr. Oliver and his team are wonderful! I did extensive research before making the decision to travel to Colombia and had many reservations about why I should not go. Nonetheless, I can say it was definitely worth the trip and one of the best decisions I have made.Dr. Oliver is kind and does amazing work! The extensive amount of actual dental work I needed was handled well. I would recommend Dr. Oliver without hesitation for anyone seeking dental work in Colombia.Additionally, Carlos who was my driver most of the time was top notch he spoke fluent English, gave us information about Cartagena and checked on me often. The other drivers were also kind as well. I actually felt like they cared about my well being.Great job!!

Jessica Carter: It was a wonderful dental experience. They were very professional and willing to work with my hectic schedule. I can not say enough about this practice. I would come back, and absolutely recommend this dentist office!

Yatta: I had a appointment for teeth cleaning, received a warm welcome, got work done, satisfied with my results.

Lek Phomlavan: Honestly, I was a little skeptical about the whole process and was a little concern about my safety. But rest assure. They make sure you are informed about the process. The service I received was outstanding! Starting from the coordinator, the driver, and the assistant, all the way down to Dr. Julio and his staff. I highly recommend them.

Jo Sousa: Excellent site, Dr. Oliver is a true profesional, my dental work is incredible, very satisfied.

Cisco Cruz: Amazing place if you go ask for Angie ! She is amazing and fast

DW: Appointment was changed from 10 to 11 am but was not called in until 11:20. I was finished in 40 minutes with 3 applications for whitening. It did not change much at all. I was told it would not change much so there were no great expectations. It would take several more, I was told. I guess it is worth 100 USD

Jake Jones: Dr. Oliver and his entire team made the entire experience fantastic. One third the cost of my dentist in the USA, and way more pleasant. If you are on the fence about going, stop, make the appointment.

Katrina Llanos: Dr. Julio Oliver and his whole team are the best! I have anxiety about the dentist and they were great. Dr. Oliver made sure I wasn’t in any pain. He does great work. I feel like a whole person again. 10/10 would recommend!

Keith Knighton: The whole staff was wonderful especially Angie, Dr oliver is the man if you want a beautiful smile for a good price visit him you won't be disappointed.

michael mallon: I had a good experience with dental tourism, they cleaned and gave me a filling very effectively and professionally and my tooth ache is gone

Chantelle B: I just want to say this was the best dental experience I’ve ever had and I’ve had numerous dental encounters. They are attentive, they respond quickly and the work is amazing. Not only is your dental experience great but from pick up at the airport to drop off you are taken care of. My favorite part is they always ask me to text them when my flight lands safely. Dr Oliver and his team did an amazing job on my teeth and gave me not only my smile back but my confidence back. P.S. I got a implanted bridge on my upper front teeth. I was missing 4-5 teeth.

Marta Nazzar: Dr Julio Oliver is very talented and really cares about his patients. He spent a lot of time with me and was extremely patient. My results were amazing! I would definitely recommend him! He is bilingual and his staff as well.His office staff are very professional and friendly. His office is beautiful, immaculate and all equipment is state of the art. I highly recommend him.

megan garrett: Dr Julio is highly recommend he’s great at what he does.

Corrin Watson: Dr. Julio Oliver literally helped rebuild my confidence. Other dentists told me nothing could be done to restore my smile and Dr. Julio proved them wrong! Everyone I encountered throughout my experience was extremely kind and helpful. I absolutely love my smile and forever grateful! He's the best!

Eye Of Heru: “One of the best decisions of my life”.Let me start of by saying I have been scared of the dentist my whole life, so I did intensive research with a feeling of fear, once I got ahold of dental tourism of Colombia and Dr Julio Oliver the feeling of fear suddenly went away. From the dental coordinator Ms.Claudia to the dental assist Ms. Angie everything went beyond excellent. All my questions were answered in a timely fashion before I even decided to choose them so that speaks volumes to what a great dentistry this is. Once I booked my flight everything went as smooth as possible. The driver Carlos, who picked me up from the airport when I arrived was awesome. Safety wasn’t an issue, as I felt as safe as could be. I was not expecting everything to go as smooth as it did, especially going into another country for dental work. I’m gonna just say this it greatly exceeded my expectations. Just the price alone made it all worthwhile then u add that on with the hospitality of the people, the beautiful country that I never been to, was just a bonus like getting a 2 for 1. Dr Julio Oliver I can’t even begin to say enough about this guy, if u could give a a person 10 stars this guy deserves it. Let’s just say I needed major dental work. After having gold teeth for about 16 years I didn’t know what to expect. Man once I was in his presence I knew I was gonna be well taking care of. Not only did it not hurt that much, but the attention to detail, the precision and patience was on point from the Doctor Julio Oliver. In the US I would have paid at least 4 times more then what I paid here in Colombia the quality was if not better then the US so that alone was just a win win situation. Unlike some other Dentist on social media Dr Julio Oliver did not and doesn’t have to sell the fluff, his reviews on google speak for itself. I recommend anyone that has to have a lot of dental work done consider dental tourism of Colombia and Dr Julio Oliver, him and his team are A+. The trip, the people, the price made it all worth while. Thank u very much Dr Julio Oliver and dental tourism of Colombia.

Bill Hufstader: My visit with Dr. Oliver was received graciously and professionally.My transportation was provided to and from the clinic and my evaluation was prompt and clearly explained. He suggested that the advised treatment of my home dentist was premature and presently unnecessary at this time. His honesty and professionalism convinced me that I can trust this clinic to serve in my best intersests. Thank you Dr. Oliver; I will be back.

Raquel Ritz: Communication was excellent. Easy to set up appointment over website. Staff were very friendly. Dr. Julio Oliver was extremely professional. The implant procedure was fast and painless.

Ed Gaynor: Whilst visiting Cartagena, contacted the team to check availability for a clean and teeth whitening. Helpful, good advice and excellent results. Would come back to Cartagena for a repeat appointment. English speaking.

Camilo Ramirez: Great school, I learned a lot from you. I hope I can come back soon

Valérie Roy: Thanks for everything! cool experience

Lukas Niemeier: Great school. Perfectly organized with very skilled teachers, good equipment and a lot of fun during classes. I went for 30h/week for two weeks. One in Medellin and one in Cartagena. The Different knowledge levels of the students were taken into account and the groups built fit well together. Thanks again for a great time!

Gaby Sierra: Excellent!

Laura Liszewski: Really nice experience in this school, recommend!

Tom Lovett: I cannot recommend this school enough. I am absolutely amazed that. I'm able to have spontaneous conversations with locals about a host of topics, considering I only did four weeks of classes, starting from zero. I was worried that doing well in classes wouldn't carry over to the real world, but that has not been the case at all.The classes themselves were really enjoyable. My teachers were great, the other students were great. We cracked plenty of jokes while still learning new grammar and vocabulary.The school was very helpful when it came to logistics as well. I literally enrolled on a Friday afternoon for Monday morning classes. Also, the school allowed me to print documents and received a package for me.Cannot recommend this school highly enough.

Laura Shadley: Had a wonderful experience at Centro Catalina - Cartagena. The instructors and staff were outgoing and helpful. School always flew by because it was so much fun. I was nervous to speak with people in Spanish, but I gained a lot of confidence while I was there! The school organized a lot of fun activities that allowed you to experience more of the city. They also organized a trip to Isla Grande on the weekend, which was incredible! I stayed with an awesome host family very close to the school. I can't say enough good things!

Dario Paolillo Mendoza: Super escuela, Muchas gracias, thanks a lot for the great time!The support, activities, treatment and personal are fantastic. Colombia and the School has stolen my heart and they are like a second home and like a Family. May God always bless you in Name of Jesus! Bendiciones mi gente bella

Jim C.: I had a great time a Centro Catalina. The school is located in the historic center of Cartagena, with lots of restaurants, shops and sights in a short walking distance.Teachers and staff are just awesome and made my stay a unique and special experience. Everybody is super friendly and helpful.All in all a great experience, defenitely a school that I can recommend.

lisa muzzin: This is a great place to learn or improve your Spanish. Not only are the teachers and classes of top quality but there are free events most days as well. This helps you to get to know other students and the city and to practice your spanish even more. I really enjoyed my time here. Thanks everyone!

Max N: Great Experience

Yanis GUIGNOUNE: Une école totalement a l’écoute de nos besoin et le tout avec le sourire. Une ambiance géniale du début à la fin. je recommande vivement cette école.

Loris Contro: I spent 6 FUNtastic weeks learning Spanish and everything I could about the Colombian heritage and culture at Centro Catalina, and would have spent a lot more than that if I had had more time. The teachers, facilities, customer service, extra activities and anybody who works in there with great passion: everything was excellent! I attended both schools in Medellin and Cartagena,and I strongly recommend them.

William Zarb: C'est une super école les cours sont très bien organisés , les professeurs sont géniaux. Il y a beaucoup d'activités qui sont organisés chaque jour .

Thomas Augsten: School was great fun, wonderful staff, and evening as well as weekend activities are organized. Stayed for a 1-week elementary course and would come back. Also limited number of affordable rental rooms available in a safe neighborhood.

Emeline Flores: Une super école pour apprendre l'espagnol ! Une super ambiance entre les élèves et les professeurs :)

HAMOOD AL TOQI: Great school great stuff the best experience to learn Spanish highly recommend

Caleb Solofra: Great school! Classes allowed me to dig deep into not only the language but also the culture of Medellín. I have traveled a lot, and this school is the most friendly and made me most comfortable.Here’s a list of other great things:-provided a fantastic host family-top notch classes-good location in Medellín (lots to do)-optional evening activity provided each day (like a movie, salsa classes, etc)-clean facility

Brian Eaten: Perfect Spanish school for a perfect experience. S/o to David

Danny Lee: I truly can recommend centro catalina for every person who wants to learn spanish - doesnt matter which level you have! The facilities, the staff, the teachers and the way they teach are top notch! Every day they have an activity for the afternoon and also for the weekends, like salsa class, movies, city- or graffiti-tours, etc. Also the school is in the middle of centeo historico and so you can find many restaurants, bars and shops just next to it! On this point i want to say MUCHAS GRACIAS to all of the staff, especially to David, who is an amazing "papi"!! All of you, keep going the way you do!! Mucho gusto.. jackie! ;)

Carolina Guimaraes: Estudei por 4 semanas na Escola Nueva Lengua em Cartagena- Colômbia. Escola bem organizada, com professores muito bons, as turmas possuem no máximo 3 a 5 alunos o que faz que você esteja bem exposto a fala, temos aula de conversação e gramática . Todos os dias tem programação de passeios ou eventos organizados pela escola para que as turmas possam interagir e até mesmo experimentar outras formas de aprendizado ! Quero voltar para estudar novamente lá !

Lily Meng: I had a great experience at Nueva Lengua, the teachers and staff are very nice and patient. They have good methods and offer many free fun activities after school. 这个学校很不错，喜欢我的老师，教育方法和许多免费的课余活动。

Arielle Bernardin: I recently attended Nueva Lengua Cartagena Spanish School for 3 weeks and it was by far the best 3 weeks ever. The school was amazing with wonderful and knowledgeable teachers like Paula and Carolina. Paula was incredibly patient and kind, while Carolina went above and beyond with her engaging and upbeat teaching style. I miss them both dearly! They made learning so much fun that we looked forward to attending classes each day.On top of that, the weekly activities organized by the school were incredibly fun and entertaining; I always looked forward to them and especially loved how they put up a clear schedule on the wall to inform us about them. I also had the opportunity to meet such wonderful people from all around the world that I still keep in contact with. Thanks to their excellent teaching methods and engaging activities, my Spanish has improved tremendously.I would highly recommend Nueva Lengua to anyone who wants to learn or better their Spanish while having a great time. Thank you, Nueva Lengua Cartagena Spanish School, for an unforgettable experience!

Kaili Barnes: I came to Nueva Lengua to learn medical Spanish for my future care. I have only been here for 4 days and my Spanish has gotten so much better! The way they teach her is so incredible! The teachers a very supportive and you can tell they love their jobs! Everyone I have met here has said that this is one of the top programs in the world and I definitely think that is true. This program brings in so many people from so many different countries and it’s so wonderful to be around them all. My first week I have Gaby and Mayra as my teachers and they a wonderful!! I’m so excited for the next 4 weeks here!

Loes de Smet: My boyfriend and I followed the intense Spanish course for two weeks at the start of our trip to Colombia. The experience was amazing! The communication with the office went smoothely and the activities after school are fun and a great way to practice your Spanish. Our teachers (Mayra and Carolina) were really professional and you can see they have a passion for teaching and the Spanish language. They always motivated us and made learning a new language so much fun. We have learned so much in two weeks! Would definitely recommend others to go there as well.

Thomas Avedissian: Did 2 weeks of Spanish school at Nueva Lengua and it was a great learning experience! The teachers are very professional and fun (special shoutout to Mayra and Carolina) and the activities the school organizes are a great way to learn about Cartagena and Colombian culture.

Jaqueline Marcelino: Foi uma ótima experiência. Os professores são excelentes, e temos a oportunidade de conhecer pessoas de todo o mundo enquanto aprendemos.

sammy habes: L école offre des cours de tout niveau, j’aime leur méthode d apprentissage qui me semble être efficace. Ils sont très sympathiques.

Honorine Desilles: J’ai adoré apprendre l’espagnol au sein de cette école ! Tout s’est très bien passé entre la qualité des professeurs, les groupes de petite taille qui permettent de progresser rapidement et la qualité des activités incluses ! Merci

Kleber Francisco da Silva: É uma escola com arquitetura charmosa, a estrutura é colonial e os professores são muito receptivos. A comida é muito gostosa e as atividades extras são muito legais. Aprendemos Espanhol o dia todo praticamente, fiquei duas semanas estudando na escola e tive muita troca cultural, já estou com saudades e vontade de voltar.

Elias: Tiden min på Nueva Lengua i Cartagena var et minne for livet. Skolen har en fantastisk lokasjon i hjertet av Cartagena. Jeg var der i 10 dager og ble utrolig godt motatt. Jeg hadde Carolina som lærer og WOW, for en evne til å lære bort. Vi avsluttet alltid med 1 time med fokus på kommunikasjon, hvor Kevin var helt strålende. Aktivitetene etter skolen var også veldig gøy, fordi du utforsket byen på måter du elles aldri ville gjort. Jeg kan virkelig anbefale denne skolen til andre reisende.

ian paul: The school is a great place to enrol. The teachers are helpful, friendly and assist you regardless of what level of Spanish you have. It’s a great place to mix with like minded travellers so it doesn’t matter if you enrol by yourself or with a travelling buddy as there are daily activities for you to interact with fellow travellers if you choose to. I was fortunate to have Kevin, Mayra, Carolina and Paola as my main teachers but also had the pleasure of having Eli the dance teacher who is packed full of energy to help me going from having 2 left feet to pulling of salsa, merengue and bachata dance routines. I’m happy to have spent my time here.

Eve B: Ich habe für zwei Wochen an der Schule Nueva Lengua einen Spanischkurs gemacht. Die Schule hat eine sehr gute Lage in Getsemani, einem bunten belebten Viertel. Meine Gastfamilie wohnt im Stadtteil Manga in 15 Minuten Fußweg von der Schule entfernt. Mir haben die beiden Wochen Unterricht sehr viel gebracht. Wir haben viel Theorie gelernt und wiederholend geübt. Dabei wurde ausschließlich Spanisch gesprochen. Die beiden Lehrerinnen Mayra und Ana haben den Unterricht sehr gut gestaltet und uns sehr viel Geduld entgegengebracht. Es war eine angenehme Atmosphäre in der Klasse. Die Gruppengröße war mit 4-5 Leuten perfekt als Intensivkurs. Das Unterrichtsmaterial war auch sehr übersichtlich. Nachmittags wurden viele verschiedene kostenlose Aktivitäten von der Schule angeboten, z.B. Kochkurse, Ausflüge in der Stadt (Burg, Museum), Kajakausflüge am Strand und in die Mangroven. Die Unterrichtszeiten von 9-13 Uhr haben sehr gut gepasst um den Nachmittag noch zu nutzen. Ich habe zusätzlich zum Spanischkurs noch einen Tanzkurs gemacht. Wir hatten sehr viel Spaß und ich habe in die Salsa, Bachata und Merengue gelernt. Muchas gracias!

Nico Le: Ich habe insgesamt zwei Wochen lang die Sprachschule Nueva Lengua in Cartagena besucht und war so begeistert, dass ich nach einer Woche verlängert habe. Die Schule befindet sich direkt im zentralen, coolen Stadtteil Getsemani. Ich wohnte bei einer kolumbianischen Familie 20 Minuten zu Fuß entfernt. Der Unterricht fand von 9-13 Uhr statt, es wurde nur spanisch gesprochen.In der Schule wurde ein leckeres preisgünstiges Mittagessen angeboten, Getränke waren frei.Selbst Lehrerin, war ich von den modernen Lehrmethoden und der Vielfalt der Aufgaben angenehm überrascht. Der Unterricht wurde professionell vorbereitet, war gut strukturiert und dem Niveau der Gruppe angepasst. Die Lehrkräfte sind sehr gut ausgebildet, motiviert und freundlich. Ich habe die Grammatik gut verstanden und große Fortschritte im Lesen, Schreiben und Verstehen von spanischen Texten gemacht. Jeden Nachmittag wurden zusätzlich kostenlose Gruppenaktivitäten angeboten, z.B. Koch- und Tanzkurse oder Ausflüge in die nähere Umgebung.Ich habe eine tolle Zeit in Cartagena verbracht, das karibische Urlaubsfeeling sehr genossen und kann diese Sprachschule uneingeschränkt empfehlen.

Mélissa VALSIN: J'ai énormément apprécié mon séjour de 2 semaines à l'école de Cartagena au mois de février dernier. Toute l'équipe a été très accueillante et ça a été un plaisir d'étudier au sein de Nueva lengua.Malgré ma courte durée de séjour, mes professeurs Gerald et Mayra m'ont permis de bien progresser en espagnol et en plus, les cours ont toujours été passionnants.De plus, les activités de l'école étaient très diversifiées et m'ont permis de connaître davantage la culture colombienne; j'ai d'ailleurs même pu découvrir le carnaval de Barranquilla grâce à Cynthia, organisatrice de l'évènement au sein de l'école.L'école est très bien située au coeur du magnifique quartier coloré de Getsemani, où il règne une ambiance festive en permanence.La bonne humeur générale au quotidien et le sourire de l'ensemble du personnel de cette école ont rendu mon séjour inoubliable.Aujourd'hui, mon seul regret au sujet de cette école aura été de ne pas avoir pu y rester plus longtemps.

Serafim: A Escola Nueva Lengua é incrível, certamente eu posso dizer que aqui formamos uma família, eu fui muito bem recebido pelos colegas de classe, funcionários e todos os Professores (as) são muito amáveis e solicitos, Eles (as) conhecem e dominam o idioma e me ajudaram muito na imersão ao Español. Adorei a experiência e em breve vou trazer o meu filho aqui para fazer o curso e intercâmbio. Eu recomendo a escola, amigo (a) Brasileiro venha ter uma boa experiência inesquecível na Escola Nueva Lengua. Saludos 🇧🇷🇨🇴.

Hans-Jakob Schäfer: Very nice school, good teachers, small classes and afternoon activities with locals. Also helped me with organizing my further holidays and other things like local SIM card and vaccination. You don’t do a mistake when choosing this school.

Carsten Huber: Learn Spanish (also possible as an educational holiday!) in one of the most beautiful cities in the world on the warm Caribbean Sea.SWI offers Spanish language holidays in the bohemian district of Getsemani in Cartagena. You learn here in a familiar, friendly atmosphere in small groups. The school is well equipped, has a great location with many nice restaurants and cafes just around the corner and has good, ambitious teachers.Cartagena is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and offers a unique ambience, great restaurants and a legendary nightlife with many (salsa) clubs. CTG is only a 1.5 hour flight from BOG.Maria from SWI in Bogotá is your main contact for everything related to your language holiday. She organizes everything according to your wishes. In Cartagena, on the other hand, the very helpful Nahomy is your contact person.I can only warmly recommend this language school, the atmosphere in this city is unique, a perfect setting to learn Spanish and practice it on the spot!

Almar Vergunst: I had a really great time at spanish world institute. A great place to learn spanish with good teachers. I had two week of private lessons over here with two different teachers. Both teachers (Andrés and Nahomy) were really friendly and skilled in the things they doing.Thanks Andrés and Nahomy for this good time and the things you learned me! I will definitly come back to learn more.

Jay D'Alba: The Spanish World Institute.When you first enter you are greeted by the friends you have known forever, but you are meeting for the first time. They are your instructors who will lead you on a voyage into a culture like no other. This is the essence of the Spanish World Institute - here learning is fun!Having learning experiences in numerous countries, I can say without hesitation that The Spanish World Institute is the best!

Selina Wiggins: I enjoyed studying there and learned a lot. Also the activities outside the classroom were really nice. The teachers are friendly and Ana, who was my teacher, did a great job. A negative aspect in my opinion is that you don‘t get a skript with the rules, grammar etc. but only single sheets about the topic that you discuss in class.

Blair Healy: The Spanish school was fantastic. Highly recommended, Maria and her staff create a safe, comfortable environment in which to learn and practice the language, but will make sure to tailor your learning experience to the pace best suited to you.

Eglenis Garcia: Good school

Laurin Rienhardt: I spend 6 weeks at the Spanish world institute to really become fluent in Spanish and I am more than happy about my time here. Right from the beginning the teachers took really good care of me and adapted the classes to my level. Furthermore without having booked it, I had one to one tuition the entire time, which really helped a lot with my personal progress. I could always ask questions and would get helpful replies. Everybody is extremely friendly and also all the teachers speak English well, so it's not a problem, if your Spanish is a little lacking in the beginning. The location is great, cartagena is a beautiful city to spend some time and the teachers will be sure give you recommendations on what to do and even organize stuff for you. Very glad to have been here.

Steffen W: Muchas gracias a Ane y Ani! I had only one week, but still learned a lot. If possible, I will come back and continue my lessons. The two are the best Spanish teachers, so enthusiastic and truly seem to enjoy teaching spanish and also their culture.

Jessica Castro: Great school, it offers oportunity to practice spanish in a real context. Located in rhe trendy neighboorhood (getsemani)

Alec Altonen: I went to Spanish World Institute for one week. The professors are awesome and interactive. Come into this school at any spanish experience level. The school is easy to find and in a great location in town. Defintely worth it.

Ingebjørg Rygnestad: I studied at SWI in Cartagena for 3months in 2017, and after the first two weeks I noticed that things weren't exactly clean or the way it was supposed to be. A rude and exploiting manager is to blame for this. My main teacher was excellent in her job and the reason why I learned Spanish so good, but if the manager was to decide I would most likely have failed my exam in the end. The manager refused me to switch teacher, she put me in a lower level group of student to save money, even though there were teachers available. She was the one deciding my curriculum even though my teacher, who in fact is educated in the field and she not, wanted to do it otherwise which slowed down my progress. These are factors which has influenced my classes, but why I really can not recommend this place is because I know how she treats her staff. They get almost daily treatenings that if they don't do this and that they will be fired, she holds back the monthly payment and also forces her staff to pay for the extra expenses for the air-condition (which was higher due to a higher number of students). I have many more examples just as ridiculous as this one. And when 4 out of 6 staffmembers have been fired since I was there, it should go off some alarm bells when you choose your school. PS: Just a last funny story. The manager refused me to have classes with one of my teachers because she though that I would end up pregnant...what more can I say? Best wishes for my X-teachers

Christian Wörz: I studied here for almost 3 weeks and could really improve my Spanish! I was the only student in my group so I had like private classes with Victoria. The classes were really fun and well structured. It was a well balanced mix between grammar, exercises and conversation including some listening comprehension. Thank you very much Victoria! I did not give 5 stars because I would have preferred to meet more students there and to have more activities (like every afternoon). I think the school needs to invest more money in online marketing to attract more younger students from abroad. Besides the school is very beautiful and perfectly located in Getsemani!

Katie Johnson: I took a week of intensive classes before traveling across South America for the summer. It was a good way to get to know the language and to be able to practice speaking and listening. I thought the lessons were well rounded. I learned about grammar but was still about to practice speaking and listening and learn about Colombian culture. I was the only student in my class so I was able to receive extra attention. I would recommend SWI to anyone visiting Cartagena.

Carly Ellis: I really enjoyed learning at this school. Tania was a very nice teacher and helped me learn basic Spanish. I felt comfortable to ask questions and have come away with more knowledge than before. I would recommend to anyone :)

Stewart Martin: I think that SWI is one of the better schools in Cartagena. They generally have small class sizes (I was 1 on 1) which means that there is more attention for each student. I went to the school in Bogotá at the start of my time in Colombia and was able to continue from the same ciriculum when I arrived later in Cartagena. Having a school in both of these places is ideal for travellers looking to improve their spanish as they travel.

Lemoine Joachim: Very good school and the teachers are very friendly!

Alison Cortes: I took classes at Spanish World Institute in Cartagena for two weeks after taking classes at another school in El Centro. I preferred Spanish World Institute because I received personal attention and care from the teachers and administrators and felt like I was part of a family. The classes were very comprehensive and the focus was on what I wanted to work on, as opposed to a strict curriculum. The teachers took us on several excursions around the city and also arranged a Salsa class for all of the students, after which I ended up taking private lessons with the teacher at the school. The school is located in a beautiful part of Getsemani, close to Plaza de Trinidad. I recommend Spanish World Institute to anyone who is considering taking Spanish classes in Cartagena.

Caroline Gerber: I am studying spanish in this spanish school for two weeks and it is a very good experience.first there is a test you have to do and then your individual program will be prepared. that is very eficent. i like to learn in this school, because the teacher are very friendly and profesional. i am also teacher and am satisfied with spanish world insitute in cartagena. i would recommend to come here and learn spanish.

Thomas Wojkowski: Schule mit Hauptsitz in Bogota und seit etwa einem Jahr auch mit Standort in Cartagena fuer diejenigen die es waermer und touristischer moegen. Die Schule liegt in der wunderschoenen Altstadt von Cartagena umgeben von netten Lokalen und hat sich mittlerweile gut etabliert. Fuer Interessenten des Bidlungsurlaubs sehr gut geeingnet, da es sehr indivduell gestalltet wird mit Moeglichkeiten den Unterricht mit vielen Interessen und Aktivitaeten zu fuellen (z.B. Vokabeln lernen am Strand) Ich haette mir einzig und allein ein wenig mehr Unterrichtsmaterial gewuenscht um etwas mehr Strukur aufzubauen.Fazit: Der Standort ist ein Taum. Sehr farbenfroh und mit karibischen Einfluss. Gutes Preis- leistungsverhaeltnis (guenstigste die ich auf der Suche weltweit gefunden habe). Man lernt mit Spass!
