How did you like the accommodation?

     

I love every little bit of my experience! I just came back from one week at Dominical waverider surf camp and can't say enough about it. The staff is extremely friendly and everything was top notch. I was a bit nervous about learning to surf, but all the instructors were very knowledgeable, patient and make you feel very comfortable. I stood up on my first day and by the middle of the trip I was catching waves on my own. As I progressed, they took me to surf different beaches, beautiful beaches. It was nice to have a female instructor some days and also guys instructors to learn from different perspectives. The hotel was super clean and comfortable, and has a nice pool too. They only served breakfast but you can easy walk to all restaurants. I had massage at the hotel and also did yoga every other day on the studio near by. Everything was fantastic and I can not wait to return to Dominical Waveridersurf camp!!!

How did you like the surf lessons?

     

I took five days lessons with Dominical waverider. The instructors were professional and super friendly. They are patient and made me feel comfortable and safe in the water. I was able to stand up on my second wave. They took me to different beaches. The beaches are beautiful! My favorite beach was Playa Dominicalito.

How did you like the accommodation?

     

We arrived before Christmas and the town was very mellow, then by New Years lots of people were around. There are many restaurants and bar to hang out in town, we didn't need a car at all. Dominical Waverider provided all transportation for the surf lessons and they also arranged scuba diving and snorkeling tours for us. Plus they took us to a waterfall and to surf different beaches. The hotel was great and the beaches are beautiful. Andrew and Jeanine team were amazing, patient and so passionate about what they do. Amazing experience, we are already planing on coming back in the end of the year!

How did you like the surf lessons?

     

The lessons were scheduled with the tides but they even changed the dates to accommodated our extra activities. We have different levels of surfer on our group, so we had different instructors as we progressed. Sometimes more people came enjoy us for the surf lessons, but they always added extra instructor so everyone gets the right attention. We like it we made new friends during the lessons, or should I say surf buddies.
