EXCELLENT Based on 91 reviews Posted on Katja KVerified Fantastic surfing experience with top-notch service! I have an amazing time with Surf and Stays (5 days). The service is very professional from start to finish. I was assigned Arun as my surf instructor, and he was excellent - very patient and skilled.The spot at the beach is very nice and welcoming, and the waves are absolutely perfect for beginners. What I liked most is the flexibility: you can either get full support from their great instructors or just rent a board and practice on your own.A special shoutout to the manager of Surf and Stays, who was extremely accommodating and even arranged a pickup from my hotel, which was a bit further away. Highly recommend this place!Posted on MiaVerified Good vibes, professional teacher! Danny is a professional and good teacher. Personal advice and otherwise made sure everything was fine.

The hostel atmosphere, the surf lessons the food and all the serviceThank you Lucky, Nashin and Denny 🫶🏻 I can’t wait to come backPosted on Megan RVerified Amazing 10/10 Danny is an awesome surf instructor, I had a previous instructor who didn’t properly correct my pop up style. One session with Danny and my pop up improved so much, so much so that he was able to improve my intermediate stance and get me comfortable catching bigger and stronger waves. Started on a soft top and now I’m on a hardtop, Od highly recommend Danny as a surf instructor - I’m excited to see how much more I can improve over the next week!Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
