This is more a Bed and Breakfast (and dinner) than a surf camp and it is BEAUTIFUL. The rooms are great - very clean, and pretty. The staff is more like family. It's safe. I was picked up at the airport, taken to the room, fed twice a day and has surfing lessons from a world renouned sufer. more

This is my second time to stay at Vista Guapa. Went this time during the "Green" season and rain was definitely not a problem. It rained twice late at night, otherwise it was hot and a mix of sun and clouds. Got way more sun than I actually needed. Wanted to say thanks to Alvaro and Durby for helping me... more

I just got back from a week and there is a lot of downtime. You surf 1x a day for a couple hours and then you are on your own. You need to walk into town (2 miles) or take a cab to do anything. The place is nice and very clean and most the staff is friendly. I would... more

My boyfriend and I were taking a week and were looking to both relax and unwind, while doing something active. Neither of us had surfed or mountain biked before, but consider ourselves athletic individuals. We were really, really pleased with our week. Alberto and Durby took us out each day, and due to the relatively empty week, most days we... more

I stumbled upon Vista Guapa during my trip to Costa Rica in December, and it has literally changed my life. Although I did not stay at the camp the first time, Alvaro and his crew taught me how to surf and lit a passion that is never going to die. The second time (5 weeks later) I stayed at the... more

After seeking out a surf camp for the sole reason of making this vacation center around learning to surf, we selected Vista Guapa Surf Camp. We choose VG over our first location at Witches Rock due to recommendations from friends of the owners who attend the camp. The accommodations were very nice and the value is there no doubt. But... more

Looking for a surf experience in Costa Rica, I chose Vista Guapa based on the great reviews on Trip Advisor (TA is always right). Just about everything I read was correct. The view, the immaculate facilities, the food, and most importantly the incredible people are what make Vista Guapa #1. One thing I'd like to add concerning the instructors...Not only... more
