Everything about this vacation was perfect. The surfing was terrific, and we both advanced tremendously. The food was out of this world, like going to a five-star restaurant in quality and presentation for every meal. Most of all, we could relax when we wanted to.

It's a fair question - the world's a large place, with many places to see and many breaks to surf, so why would a person return to the same place three times (with plans to do so again)? My answer is simple: each visit to Kalon Surf has been great, so I know what I'm getting in terms of a... More

Wow! What a great adventure and life changing experience! I first started reviewing surf resorts when wanting to surprise my man with a trip. I finally decided on Kalon surf. I figured a luxury surf resort would be a trip in itself and if I learned to surf than that was icing on the cake. Marcela was my contact and... More

I was crazy excited to go to Kalon Surf after reading all the reviews. Kalon definitely lived up to all my expectations and then some. We made friends with the other guests who were completely awesome and plan on keeping in touch with them. Kalon Surf took care of everything from picking us up at the airport with pit stops... More

Kalon is a Villa on top of the hill in Dominical with a southing view to the jungle and ocean. Our surf holiday started as soon as we stepped foot onto this enchanted property. Simply everything was cared for, from waking up to driving down to the beach where our surf coaching begun at perfect surf times. We both made... More

I had the pleasure of staying at the Kalon Surf mansion in June 2012. Though I had very high expectations based on a personal recommendation of a friend and all the enthusiastic user reviews here on Tripadvisor, my stay was even better than I could have hoped for. I was in Costa Rica on a business trip and thought it... More

Kalon Surf was one of our best vacations ever because the other guests were so much fun. Roberto and Mike are great instructors who make surfing not just challenging, but a ton of fun. The house staff, Marcela, Esme, Maria and Vincent and did great job taking care of us. When problems came up the owners did everything in their... More

We recently returned from one of our favorite travel experiences to-date—a week at Kalon in Dominical. We have two young daughters, one of which was insistent on learning to surf after watching Soul Surfer. After realizing she wasn’t going to give up, we decided we’d like to learn how to surf as well and could incorporate it into a family... More

I first visited Kalon in November 2011 and had such a fun time that I returned in July 2012. Since my initial visit, Kalon Surf has relocated to a new house - the former one was great, but the new place is spectacular: situated up the mountain, nestled among the jungle and kept cool by nice breezes, it has an...
