loved the friendly staff, sense of community, and chill vibes. Perfect for solo female travelers. Small room, but had the best sleep. Great facilities, pool, gym, and kitchen. Beach access nearby. Shoutout to Mar, Damien, Anto, Rob, Shawne. Animals added to the good vibes.

Maria went above and beyond to make our stay mind-blowing. This surf camp is the best I've ever been to - just a 5-minute walk to a deserted part of the beach, perfect for surfing. It's secluded and tucked into the jungle while still being close to the town. The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful. The room and shared bathroom were clean and the bed was super comfortable. The shared kitchen was well-equipped and there were even pool and ping pong tables. I would definitely stay here again!

Great pool and close to the beach. The people staying were nice and friendly.

Rooms were like dormitory tents with no walls, making everything open to the whole world. Separate facilities such as kitchen and patio.

We had a fantastic time at a surf camp in Santa Teresa. the staff was friendly, the room and shared bathroom were clean and comfortable. the location was perfect, just a short walk to the beach and within walking distance to great restaurants. the shared kitchen was well equipped and there were also facilities like a pool and ping pong tables to enjoy. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to others!

Nothing negative to say. 😊

I had an exceptional stay at Mal Pais Surf Camp. The location was perfect, just a 5-minute walk down a dirt road to a secluded part of Santa Teresa beach. Being surrounded by the jungle added to the peacefulness and made it a great place to practice surfing. Maria, one of the staff members, went above and beyond to ensure our stay was memorable. The big pool was a great addition, perfect for cooling off after a day at the beach. The tab system made it convenient to enjoy drinks and pay for everything at the end of our stay. I highly recommend this camp for a relaxing and adventure-filled vacation.

The stay at this surf camp was absolutely mind-blowing! From the private villas with stunning patios to the serene swimming pool and lush park filled with incredible wildlife like howler monkeys and hummingbirds, every aspect was super impressive. The surfing class on playa Hermosa was highly recommended and arranged by the helpful host. The staff was always friendly and the sense of community was jaw-dropping. The facilities like the gym, pool table, and spacious kitchen were top-notch. The clean rooms and comfortable beds ensured a great night's sleep. The location was close to the beach but still within walking distance to the town with amazing restaurants. The shared kitchen was well-equipped and the availability of pool and ping pong tables added to the fun. this place had an awesome vibe and was perfect for solo travelers like me. I would definitely stay here again!

We had an amazing time at this surf camp. Maria and her team went above and beyond to ensure our stay was exceptional. the camp is situated just a short walk from a secluded part of Santa Teresa beach, which was perfect for surfing. It was also conveniently close to the central Santa Teresa area, yet tucked away enough to provide a peaceful and jungle-like atmosphere. the staff was always friendly and helpful, and the room and shared bathroom were clean and comfortable. We loved the shared kitchen, which was well-equipped, and enjoyed the pool and ping pong tables. it was the best surf camp we've ever visited. We would definitely stay here again!

Could not be improved in any way 👌.

Convenient location with easy access to amenities. Great for surfers with board rentals and lessons available. Beautiful beaches nearby. Ideal for single travelers, families, couples, and groups.

Absolutely loved everything about my stay, because obviously, I don't have any negative comments to make.

We stayed at this camp during Christmas and had a great time. The staff was really helpful in organizing tours for us, and we enjoyed the ATV tour and Tortuga island tour. The pool was a big plus, especially on hot days. We also liked the beach access nearby and the fact that they had a pool table for entertainment.

The rooms were not as expected. We booked a quad room but ended up in a shared dorm with no fan.

The staff at the hotel were extremely friendly and helpful. They always went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed. The rooms and shared bathrooms were very clean and the beds were comfortable. I also liked the fact that the hotel was located close to the beach in a nice quiet area, but still within walking distance to the town where there were plenty of great restaurants.

There were a few things that I didn't particularly like about the hotel. there was no AC in the rooms, only a floor fan, which made it a bit uncomfortable at times.
