Only got body boards from them so can't really say about the surfing but these guys were so friendly and seemed so happy. Thanks for making this wonderful beach that little bit better!

Our family of 3 had Paco as our instructor. He was fantastic! He got us all standing on our boards on our first try, and was incredibly patient throughout the lesson. We loved his genuine enthusiasm for the sport and his excitement at helping us succeed throughout our lesson. All of the people who work here are wonderful. For the next several days, we parked our stuff on the beach near them and had free use of surf boards and boogie boards anytime they were available. Highly recommend Pato's!…

We booked through Samara Info Center and it was perfect.…

Great beach to learn to surf! We stayed for three days and immediately could surf after great instruction and help from Marcello. All four of our family had success. The second day on the "real" boards was more challenging, but still caught some waves. The third day had limited swell, but the ability to use a board for five days with a lesson is a great benefit. We could easily have stayed at Samara longer - and if we return to Costa Rica, would likely do so. Pato and his wife Kate are really friendly - as were all the folks at the beach. Generally, a great place to learn to surf and highly recommended. I saw a lot of families with kids ranging from about 6 and up - they were all having a great time, as did we with teens. They also have boogie boards!…
