Had a fabulous week-long stay at puerto surf with my friend. We did 6 surf classes. All the hostel staff were incredibly friendly and the surf staff were awesome. Everyone made us feel welcomed. We provided feedback throughout our stay and the staff responded well. I am a complete beginner surfer; whereas, my friend is not. We both had an absolute blast. I HIGHLY recommend the surf instructors Carlos and Jesus (Chuy)! I learned a lot from both of them and they made me feel safe in the water. Michel and Luis were also really enjoyable to work with.

My young son and I stayed at this property for a week recently. First for the overwhelming positives: - this is exactly what you would picture a cool, laid back, pretty and comfy surfing and beachy surf school and property to look like. Verdant and lush gardens, hammocks, wood and stone, a tidy communal outdoor kitchen, and chill out spaces. - very responsive and on’-the-ball staff (within working hours of course), quick on WhatsApp to schedule, reschedule, resolve issues, etc. - great quality instructing (both yoga and surfing), good with kids and adults alike - good location* as you’re only two blocks from beach and one block from all the nightlife and restaurants (plus a few mini-marts). Laundry, pharmacy, good coffee shops, etc. also very short walking distance - cool rooms, we stayed in 6, an expansive room which had a neat balcony at the very top, allowing you a private sunset view every evening. Room cleaned thoroughly every other day, with towel and sheets change. - great value for money It pains me to discuss the negatives, but there are some matters that should be known prior to booking, and may well NOT be negatives AT ALL depending on your circumstances: - I travelled with a child that I would like to get to bed by 8:30pm or thereabouts. He had surfing lessons every morning at 9-10am, and I needed to make sure he got the rest. However, what i didn’t know is that all the rooms are effectively open to the elements. The walls have decorative holes throughout and the thatched roofs are disconnected from the walls, presumably allowing a sea breeze to permeate and flow through the room. - this effectively meant that the room was truly open to the elements. Now, you’re going to have mosquitos in the room whether you like it or not, and for the most part you might escape them behind mosquito netting (provided on the beds), this is par for the course and TOTALLY expected in a beach environment! And hey, you can’t do anything about dog choruses either! - however, you will not be protected from the explosive growth currently happening at Puerto Escondido”” (which means Hidden in Spanish…it’s absolutely no longer hidden by countless developers). So you have 7am to 5pm construction noises, cement dust, and large vehicles as a constant during the day (mercifully excluding Sundays). One site is literally across the street from the property, and you hear every…single…noise from the rooms, very clearly. - and then you very clearly hear the nightlife, the boogie, the drum circles, and the rest, all mercifully only until 11pm, and again, this may not matter at all to you, independent and childless traveller (I was once part of that illustrious club…alas), but not so “bueno”when you’re trying to get a child to bed at a decent hour. :( Tough one…I’m sure this very lovely property was built early on, when Puerto Escondido what truly hidden, devoid of wannabe Ibiza-like properties, several construction sites nearby and the like. It is what it is, progress can’t alway be stopped in Mexican beachside locations, like it or not. Wanted to shout out to Andrea, a really great coordinator and staff member of the property, she was wonderful, kind, responsive and super competent! Gracias!…

We are super happy about our stay at Puerto Surf House. The staff was so kind and helpful and the service was excellent. They helped us book tours, gave us tips on resturant’s and on what to do. We were treated as family during the stay. We also took surf classes and the teachers was super professional and kind.

I only have positive comments about my experience at Puerto Surf. The house is beautiful and is located in a great spot just a few steps from the beach. It's staff -from David, the owner, to the girls in the front desk and the instructors- is extremely friendly. They did everything in their hands to accommodate my stay. I took the surf+yoga package and it was just perfect: surf and yoga lessons were great (all of the instructors were patient and very helpful). I particularly loved practicing yoga with Alice. Also, the breakfast options were delicious. I'm already planning my next stay with them.

This was my first time in Puerto Escondido. Could not have picked a better place to stay. The “hangout” package was a really great deal. The included massage, breakfast and photos exceeded my expectations. 10/10 would love to go back!

The staff at Puerto Surf is amazing. They are so friendly and helpful and the surf instructor I had was truly wonderful. I only marked them down from five to four stars because of cleanliness. There seemed to be blood on the wall in the bathroom which hadn’t been scrubbed off and there were dirty, muddy prints all over the wall next to the bed. Not related to the number of stars given, just want to make mention for those picky people out there; their Wi-Fi is NOT good enough to use for work should you find yourself needing to work while traveling.

I had a magic room (no. 6) with private terrace and a beautiful view right to the surf spot La Punta. The location is perfect. It is quiet, but near to the restaurants, shops and bars. The garden is a bit of a paradise☺️ The crew is very helpful, the surf instructors are also kind and really take a good care of you. You can’t find a better place in Puerto Escondido.

I stayed two weeks at Puerto Surf, the first solo and a friend joined me for the second week. I booked the package surf & stay, which means I had 5 semi private surf classes per week :) the team is super flexible and spontaneous so that you can create your personalized package! The surf classes were definitely the highlight of my stay and I can highly recommend to take classes with the instructors from Puerto Surf! I felt super comfortable with all of them and had a lot of fun. Thanks a lot to see the team and I will see you hopefully soon.
