Me and my partner stayed in cabarete for a week and took several kiteboarding lessons. The staff is really amazing and helpful (we had lots of questions at the beginning about kiteboarding in general) and the instructors are very good - all IKO certified. Very professional and very good location. A bit pricey but you get the service quality that... More

Everyone at LEK was awesome! My 17 year old son took lessons and really loved it! My 16 year old son and I hung out on the beach and took advantage of LEK's beach chairs, their super clean bathroom, the cold water and Gatorade! It was a wonderful place to just relax and chill out or be adventurous and kiteboard.... More

I went to LEK for a December getaway from freezing San Francisco. First, I started by calling all the kite centers, LEK was the most helpful over the phone. Meghan very patiently explained what Cabarete is like and what I can expect and recommended different lodging options. When I actually went to LEK, I unexpectedly got SO much more. Everyone... More

LEK was a wonderful place to get a kiteboarding lesson. My instructor, Joanna, was patient, fun, clear, and professional -- I would highly recommend her to anyone wanted to learn to kite. The rest of the LEK staff was also extremely friendly and supportive. I will definitely be back for a second round of lessons. Thanks very much to everyone... More
