Stayed here in march for a week to surf and had a great time at the camp staying in one of the communal ranchos which was a little daunting at first but enjoyed all the same (you soon get to know and meet others) and staff friendly. As previous comments honesty system for drinks etc works well, nice bar with... more

I stayed in Mal Pais Surf Camp for a few nights during a surf trip... The landscaping was great, food was killer, place felt secure (we were greeted by a gun-toting security guard the second we got to our room), awesome surf is a ten minute walk away through a cool jungly path... what more could you ask for? The... more

My girlfriend and I booked four nights at the Malpais Surf Camp and Resort hoping for something comfortable, clean, inexpensive, and close to the beach, and indeed it came through on all fronts in addition to surprising us in a few other areas. As non-surfers, we were a little intimidated to find a bar-full of surfers and a surfing documentary... more

MPSC is a great place to stay. Lorna, office manager, is great to deal with and helpful! Rooms are super clean and cleaning staff is great. Like all others have said: put your valuables in the office safe for security. Their honor system can't be beat! PROS: Clean rooms, great land layout, pool, pool table & ping pong table. CONS:... more

We spent 2 weeks in Costa Rica for our honeymoon in November. 2 nights at Mal Pais and we wished we stayed the entire trip. Mal Pais has a great layout with very friendly staff and WONDERFUL food. The pool is big, clean and not crowded. WIth a short walk to the beach and town, we loved every minute of... more

we decided to spend 2 weeks in costa rica and ended up spending the majority of it at the Mal Pais Surf Camp! For the unfortunate traveler who lost her money and camera, i feel for you, but this happens anywhere, and be advised that the staff suggests your leave all valuables (including passport, money, camera, credit cards) with them... more

We just returned from a two week vacation from Costa Rica and spent two nights at Mal Pais Surf camp. When checking in we were told to leave all valuables at the front desk, we should have listened!! We felt strange leaving our valuables with someone else. There are no safes in the rooms. We brought our bags in and... more

The staff and very relaxed but helpful. We stayed in the one of the ranchos. There was five beds and there was only two of us. The price was still only 50 dollars a night. Overall it was a good value, even better if you have more people. The food was great, although you can find better priced food in... more

I stayed at the Surf Camp with 4 friends in one of the awesome villas. Our villa was comfortable and cool, my favourite part being a huge drying room next to the bathroom for hanging our wetsuits and bathing suits, and leaning our boards up to dry. They've got a wide variety of accommodation for everyone's budgets and needs: Everything... more
