Amazing Experience!!
We stayed in the surf cabins and did five days of surf lessons in October. The waves were perfect this time of the year. We had an amazing experience with the surfing instructors. Pedro was awesome and very helpful. My daughters had three different instructors and they were all so fun, helpful, and nice. They remember Miguel especially. The surf school facility, the organization of lessons, and everything was top notch. The accommodations were very clean and comfortable. We would highly recommend families take lessons and stay with the surf school. It was an unforgettable experience and we’ll be looking for opportunities to return.

They're cracks!
We go every summer, this one we target the dwarf to surf lessons five days approx, it touched him with the monitor David, a love, a big boy that he knew how to take to his terrain and that had some earthquake in the group....
We will repeat with them again of course.

Incredible
I'm leaving, but not before highlighting the incredible team that makes up this school, from the girls at the reception, store, boards... they always welcome you with a smile, to all the teachers, including the surfskate and skate teachers... it has been an incredible experience I wanted to make a special mention of Pedro, without his technique and professionalism from day one, I'm sure I wouldn't have caught a single wave... thanks for the laughter in the water and making everything so easy! And Saul, thank you for the classes, the laughter, the moments... you have made me fall in love with surfing in all aspects, you are a professional from head to toe. THANK YOU TEAM!! See you in the waves🤙🏻

Special surfing
Undoubtedly a very special experience and to which I have certainly already hooked, not only because surfing itself, but also because of the Mood, Management and Organization of School and Classes. We can highlight the good work of the photographers, Ana making the groups the best for everyone, Renan who always has a smile and a good word or advice if you need it, Marta with her Pilates, kindness and advice in the water or several of the instructors that I have been or were there helping and giving advice to be well and learn, making me increase my instance there for how happy we were. Among them are Manu, Saul, Borja, Fried Egg, Fernando and Jordi, but without a doubt, from the one I have learned the most (85-90% of what I know), has made us want to return, that we feel comfortable in all areas, that there would be laughter while security, that was very humble and close to everyone putting themselves in the skin of each of the group and giving each one what they needed to progress is NATALIA, which is rating that it knows what it does.

Manu we'll be back <3
Second time surfing and great experience. Manu the best monitor I've ever had, extensive experience and individualized treatment despite being a group. I'll definitely try to ask you again when I get back. Great quality/price. Possibility to have photos.
Aspects to improve: try to organize the same teachers for the days of stay of the clients. Lack of space (20 lockers/200 people). Massing of many groups in the same hours.

Nos encanta saber que habéis tenido una buena experiencia con nosotros y, por supuesto, transmitimos a Manu tus palabras.
Tomaremos muy en cuenta tus sugerencias de mejora ya que para nosotros es muy importante seguir mejorando día a día.
Esperamos verte de nuevo muy pronto.

Manu we'll be back!
The overall experience has been good. He chose us as Manu monitor and cared every day about our progression, he has taught us everything necessary to progress in surfing practice and always with a very good Mood which has greatly improved the experience, monitor fully recommended. Aspects to improve: improvement of the organization and overcrowding of the school (lack of space), the school must worry about students putting themselves with the same teacher to improve the monitoring of progress (in our case Manu worried about it) and when handing out the tables there are people who do not know your progress and distribute a table not suitable for your progress.
Operator response
Nos encanta saber que lo habéis pasado genial y, sobre todo, que habéis aprendido. Trabajamos día a día para mejorar nuestros servicios así que tomamos buena nota de tus sugerencias de mejora. No dudes que las tendremos muy en cuenta.
Esperamos volver a recibiros muy pronto, en esta, vuestra casa.

horrible management, nice instructor
Instructor was good. Management terrible. Dollar signs in the eyes bigger then the waves.
When we registered by mail in advance we received a lot of emails in spanish, no times when the classes started. We had to pay in advance.
At arrival we went at the office one day before to ask if everything was correct and what time the class would start. Everything ok, classes started at 11.
When our girls got there the next morning, they needed passports. Which wasn't told. Us parents went there to bring the passports, when there, 'the girls are under 18, we need your passports' When I got mad, the boss arrived, they went one hour later. (no waves anymore)
I made very clear in the emails when making the reservation the girls were no beginners, they were scheduled with absolute beginners.
When I complained after class, the boss/manager handled the situation in a very management style way. When I told him I thought the dollar signs in his eyes were bigger then the waves, he started to realize something went wrong.
Luckily, the waves were great, the instructor too. When finished after 5 days, an having paid the full amount I received an email in English with the times an a form they need to fill in at advance.
Our girls have surfed a bit around, in Spain too, this was not a very relaxed surfschool.

Best instructor we've ever had!
Surf instructor Jose ('Huevo Frito') learned us to catch waves from day one. He's incredibely funny, optimistic, experienced and patient. Big smiles every day! He gave us individual feedback in fluent English and made us feel like surfers, even on days with small waves.
The school itself is professional and flexible. Only 2 minutes walking to the beach, only 25 euro for a two-hour lesson, wetsuit and surf board. Good vibes :)

Beginner surfing
I appreciate the good work of Javier Fernandez as an instructor.
Initially I booked 3 classes and signed up for one more. Javier was always attentive to everyone in the group, giving pointed and helpful advice.
