Went to Surf Simply as a 56 year old “virgin.” They got me up and surfing decently in one week. Staff is superb ... SUPERB. Fellow guests were nice and fun. It was the best food I’ve ever eaten in my life ... not even close. All this on a warm beautiful Costa Rican beach.
I have been surfing for many years and had hit a plateau with my surf skills. I spent way too much time researching surf schools around the world and Surf Simply seemed to be the consensus pick for the best place for surf coaching. The downside was the waiting list: they are typically booked 12-18 months in advance (by the way, I now understand why - half or more of the people there are returning guests). I tried a different surf school which turned out to be a total waste of time. So I waited my turn to get into Surf Simply and I couldn't be more thrilled that I did. Surf Simply is amazing in every way. The people, the setting, the coaches, the waves, the curriculum, the resort, the food, the massages, the stretch/yoga classes, .... everything. Regardless of your surfing level (from total beginner to working on more vertical surfing/snaps), this is the best surf coaching available. This is probably the closest experience to being a professional athlete that most of us will ever have. I already have a 2nd visit booked for this year and am booking 2 more trips next year. If surfing is for you, this is your place.…
I returned to Surf Simply the second week of 2021 after a year of no traveling due to the pandemic. I felt grateful to have the opportunity to spend another fun week at this amazing resort. The staff did an great job making the guest feel comfortable with the various restrictions they set in place. As the only time I surf is when I visit Surf Simply I always look forward to see how much I progress as a surfer. As always the coaching I received was so helpful and I definitely feel I made some improvements, even with the waves being bigger than usual. The food was delicious and the accommodations were comfortable in a relaxed setting.
The best surf school on the planet. You'll develop new imagination & new confidence in your surfing, while enjoying an incredible resort experience. Everything is executed at the highest level of quality—from the coaching to the food to the logistics management to the massages. Though expensive, you leave knowing you got more than your money's worth.
It’s hard to put I to words how amazing and curated this journey is. I was very worried I was going to be overwhelmed and not be able to enjoy myself or learn anything about surfing. I can honestly say that I came a newbie and I feel as if I’m leaving as a surfer. The coaching experience is so deep and thorough you won’t know what hit you. The encouragement is infectious and every time you leave the water you feel like you have learned something new. The facilities are immaculate, the staff is incredible and the food is some of the best I’ve ever had. I want to add that I was a little nervous about the price point and had some hesitation and I leave here with a reservation in the books to come back next year. If you can swing it, treat yourself, it’s more than a gift , it’s a new outlook on life and a beautiful sport you are sure to fall on love with once you leave. …
