Loved everything about the camp! Nice stuff (volunteers) who made the stay awesome (Fanny). Only lovely people around. Dorm was nice, clean, safe and bed very comfortable. All bathrooms are clean and get cleaned every day. Kitchen well equipped with all you need including blender and free coffee. Location is very nice for beginner surfers and intermediates as the camp is located only a 2 minute walk away from the beach. Nice surfing lessons available with amazing teachers - totally recommend to book with the camp. Next to it you have a restaurant with very delicious food.

We were here to work so did not spend much time at the hotel. The communication leading up to the stay was excellent. The staff were very friendly. The breakfast is simple but good. eggs, pineapple or yogurt with granola. They also offered orange juice or coffee. The room was clean and the ac worked. It was quiet at night.

This is a super nice place with only 4 rooms. It is super charming close to Playa Grande. The staff are super nice, and we had the best breakfast of our whole trip there with birds visiting us as we ate. There is a private walkway to the beach. The room is really nice with a balcony to enjoy the nature. There is a nice coffee machine in the room as well which is a big plus. There is a cafe attached to the place where you can have snacks and a coffee with beautiful views. Highly recommended.

    We can barely believe this amazing spot exists! For an affordable price, we had a comfortable and stylish stay in a beautiful location literally a minute's walk from the beach. Playa Grande itself was an ideal alternative to Tamarindo, where you can have the beach practically to yourself for the morning and hear the crickets chirping as you enjoy the hotel pool in the evening. We also had wonderful service and conversation with all the staff. We highly recommend it!
