Went there over Xmas break and returned again a couple of months later in March. Had a great time. There's ample surf equipment available to rent for all different types of waves and riders. The surf instructors were extremely knowledgeable and friendly. If u're looking for a laid back vibe, without the frills of a major 'resort' then that's the... More

Just got back from spending 10 nights at the Playa Grande Surf Camp. What a gem of a place. Lindsey and crew made it an absolute blast. Quiet, comfortable, safe. Loved it. Planning on going back year after year

Pros: - short distance from a very nice untouristy and undeveloped beach - 1 hour from Liberia on mostly paved roads - pool Cons: - uncomfortable mattresses and pillows, mattress smelled - shared toilets / bathroom that really needs updating - inadequate shared kitchen facilities - uncomfortable plastic chairs, ugly tables - extremely noisy air conditioner that is either way...

The staff was super helpful and were awesome teachers. The camp has board rentals too if you dont need any lessons. The accomidations were clean and very reasonably priced,... More

This was my first time in Central America and this, to me, was exactly what I imagined Costa Rica to be! I loved the camp and would stay again there in a heart beat. I loved the little huts and it made me feel like I was in the "real Costa Rica" not to mention amazing value for the price.... More

I stayed at the Playa Grande Surf Camp, and had a great time! It's literally one minute on foot to the beach, and there's a selection of surfboards for rental. You can also take a lesson, and Lindsay and Gerry are great teachers! My surfing improved vastly after a session with them :). Everything is clean and everyone was really... More

looking for a budget place to stay... if you are not into frills- but like value, convenience, surfing and exploring... for $45 a night- you get it all... that was what we paid and we shared that for the most part. The shower has cold water but I expected that- I have traveled central america up and down and for... More
