My husband and I just got back from surf camp at Witch's Rock. It was hands down one of our best trips ever. We have traveled all over the world and stayed in pretty swanky hotels. While Witch's Rock is not a swanky hotel, it has that special charm that surpasses the Frette sheets. Let's face it, its a surf... more

Where do I begin? In my 41 years, I've traveled far and wide for business and pleasure to places ranging from Iceland to Cuba and all over Europe and North America. Looking back on it all, it is this unique little spot on the edge of a surf town in Costa Rica that takes the cake in so many ways.... more

I travelled to Witch's Rock with a couple of friends in November- I had never been on a surf board before and came away totally hooked. The surf instructors were excellent- if you want to learn how to surf and are willing to listen to their advice and suggestions they will teach you. Also- ask questions. I couldn't believe how... more

so i'm not a surfer but i've always wanted to try. My wife and I went down to costa rica for our honeymoon and decided to go into tamarindo one afternoon to check it out. I had read about WRSC before and was curious what it was about. We stopped there and had dinner one night for a total of... more

I had a great experience at Witches Rock, and wanted to commend them on running a great operation. From the time I booked my trip, which I was a bit hesitant about being a beginner surfer and solo traveler, the staff was extremely helpful. Larry in reservations assisted in finding flights (and even called me over Labor Day wkend when... more

I called the camp to book a one day excursion to Witches Rock and Ollie's for both my husband and my 19 year old step son. We were on a surfing vacation which started in Nosara, Guinones Beach. We wanted to experience the "once in a lifetime" opportunity to surf a remote and cool location in Costa Rica so we... more

Sorry to hear that it was such a horrible time! I can apologize for the boat to Witch's Rock not being scheduled like it was supposed to. At times things don't go as planned and everyone makes mistakes. It is as simple as human error and yes it was disappointing for your family. Staying here at the surf camp is...

The place to stay in Tamarindo. No attitude, just a relaxing place to surf. The rates were great, boards were included, and the attached restraunt with free internet etc was great. The pool was the perfect temperature and the people we met here were awesome. There is a place right across the street that has 20 minute massages for $10,... more

Quick summary: If you are looking for basic accommodations with a friendly and generous staff, then this is the place for you. If you are looking for a fancy hotel with all the amenities, then look elsewhere. If you are looking to learn how to surf for the first time, then this is a great place to start. If you... more

My wife and I stayed at Witches Rock for a brief surf camp experience August 31 to September 3, 2009. We only have two complaints one of which is our problem the other easy to solve by witches rock. 1. Fitted Sheets that fit the bed. I'm sure we could have asked for different sheets but didn't feel like whining,... more

Hi Westcoasttravelers, Muchas gracias for the thumbs up review. The next time you guys will have to make your stay longer with us, but 1 day with us is better than no days here. The next time, we promise to have fitted sheets. Pura Vida Shawna Mullen
