This is the best hostel I have stayed at. Suzy is the best!! Honestly, she really cares about the guests, making sure they have the smoothest and best stay. My boyfriend and I have been here for a month and I can't find anything wrong. A lot of thought was put into the little things here which makes it perfect. The rooms are beautiful, beds are comfortable, and it has nice bathrooms. The kitchen is perfect- TWO fridges, cubicles and boxes labels for organizing. There are cleaners daily, so the kitchen, lounge, rooms are always tidy. The yoga space is so peaceful and with a beautiful view. It is fully stocked wth yoga mats and yoga supplies, some weights and so forth.
I'm really grateful to have found such a gem stop. I will be returning! Gracias por todo!

I stayed at the surf camp for two weeks in december 2016.
It was two amazing weeks. I had spanish lessons in the morning and then surf lessons in the afternoon.
The surf instructors drove us to school everyday and picked us up when the school was done. I never had any spanish before, but i learned enough to travel around central America afterwards.
It was also my first time trying to surf. I really liked it, and the intructors were really good and professional. I had the same instructor the most days, and it was really good and cozy.
The school also arranged a lot of social events which was really cool!
I would definitely recommend the place!

I had two forty hour weeks of Spanish Classes at Experiencia, and my proficiency really improved a lot. I had four teachers that were all great in their own ways, covering topics of grammar, culture, story-telling, and just straight up conversational Spanish. In particular, I have to give a shout out to Sofia, who was particularly excellent; he attention to detail in my use of grammar and manner of speaking was unlike any other teacher I had had before, and she managed to encourage and correct while also forming a genuinely wonderful rapport and making the conversations funny and interesting! The time flew by. I wish I could have stayed for two more weeks!

While I can't speak for the Spanish class I very much can for the surfing.

Being around the teachers in La Punta was a daunting experience. They would push their pupils in front of the other surfers and shouting at others that were in their way. When faced with this hypocrisy they just laughed about it with their students and continued being bad examples for the surfing community.

Don't support "their experience", as they basically monetize the best places for only "their clients".

I had a great time at Experiencia, the room at the school was very nice, on the second floor, with a great view of the Puerto Escondido bay right out the door.
My classes were so enjoyable and I learned a lot of basic Spanish very quickly. There were lots of fun activities to do between classes and the people at the surf school were outstanding. I would definitely go back again!!!

Great 1 on 1 classes with Sarai....acomodation was nice and clean. Suzy was very quick to get a few things fixed in the room. I ate lunch there often, very good and barato. Took about 20 surfing classes at the experiencia camp at la punta. Ulises was my coach....he is very dedicated in seeing you progress and very knowledgeable and supportive.....too bad that the video recording and viewing was not possible during my time there...it would help...Ramon runs a good ship. Thanks for the memories😊

Hola Christoph! Thank you so much for your review! Sarai, Susy, Ulises and Ramon say hi and are giving you a big hug. Video recording and viewing for surf classes is, indeed, important - already working on it. Thanks for being a great student and person, see you soon in Puerto again!

I had a great time connecting with the staff and students at Experiencia.

THe setting was great, the classes well structured, the support was strong and there was lots of opportunity to integrate and improvise in real settings which was cool.

It was a little German heavy in terms of demographics, but there was still enough diversity to allow a sense of worldliness to the groups.

I would definitely recommend it to people...

This surf school is the best I have attended so far World wide. The surf instructors are very professional and helped me go from " I can almost stand up on my board by myself" to " I can surf by my self" in less than Three weeks. I can recommend it to everyone who is interested in try surfing for the first time.
