    tailored surf instruction
    noticeable road noise

    The accommodations at Blue Surf Sanctuary were exceptionally comfortable and well-maintained. The staff, particularly Pablo, were always available and dedicated to ensuring a pleasant experience, assisting with planning activities and navigating the local area. The surf instruction provided by Toro was tailored to our abilities, making our trip all the more engaging. The peaceful ambiance and 24-hour security gave us peace of mind during our stay.

    comfortable bungalow
    helpful staff
    great family experience
    road noise
    lack of insulation
    shower design

    I had a fantastic stay with my family, enjoying the clean and comfortable bungalow. The staff were incredibly helpful, especially Pablo, who went out of his way to assist us with planning activities. While the road noise was louder than expected during the day, it quieted down at night, making it easier to relax and sleep. Overall, a great choice for families looking to enjoy a laid-back experience with excellent service.

    great location
    accommodating host

    We moved to the family bungalow for our last week, and it was fantastic! The room was super spacious, and we loved hanging out on the balcony. Just a minute walk to the beach—can't beat it! The large kitchen was perfect for making meals, and Leah was an awesome host.

    friendly staff
    traffic noise

    The staff's friendliness and dedication made our stay feel like

    a home away from home. We appreciated their help in planning activities. The bungalows were spacious and equipped with everything we needed. However, being close to the road meant we did hear traffic noise during the day.

    outdoor kitchen
    fresh fruits
    beach proximity
    road noise

    Staying at this oasis with my little ones was unforgettable! We enjoyed fresh fruits brought by Leah, and the outdoor kitchen was perfect for meal prep. We loved the close proximity to the beach and even tried horseback riding, which was thrilling for the kids.

    In my wife’s opinion, the road noise was distracting, especially at night.

    outdoor kitchen
    refreshing pool
    road noise

    We absolutely loved our time here, especially the delicious meals we whipped up in the outdoor kitchen and the refreshing dips in the pool after a long day. The lounging area and vibrant garden really helped us unwind and feel at ease. While the road noise during the day was a tad noticeable, it didn’t disrupt our fun at all, so just pack some earplugs if you're sensitive to it! 🌿

    spacious bungalow
    clean kitchen area
    lovely pool

    The One-Bedroom Bungalow was amazing! Super spacious and comfy. The AC was a lifesaver. The bathroom was really nice too. I loved hanging out in the clean, modern kitchen area and checking out the lovely pool. It felt very safe, which is a huge plus as a solo traveler. The spot is super close to the beach, and the vibe is just great!

    road noise

    great stay with minor distractions

    The location was exceptional, just a short five-minute walk to the beach! The staff were incredibly attentive and went out of their way to assist us. We also enjoyed the beautiful garden view from our room which added a tranquil touch to our mornings.

    However, I found the road noise during the day a bit distracting.
