I had been to Tamarindo twice prior to my visit last week at Iguana Surf Camp, and was expecting great waves, and great food from the town it's located in. However, tbh, I didn't know what to expect from the hotel experience. All I knew was that there were gonna be other people, and the instructor's planned on taking me to different beaches since I signed up for the intermediate surf schedule. However, I was completely blown away by how amazing the hotel/room/staff was at Iguana Surf Camp. I was absolutely jaw dropped (which never happens), and the staff was incredibly friendly. The person they made my instructor, Keke, was beyond cool. He was talented, and he treated me more as a friend than a student. The prices are also pretty good for what you're getting (an insane room, unlimited board rentals throughout the day until Iguana closes, and free breakfast). If you're a surfer and are looking for a good time, good waves, and good vibes for a week in Costa Rica, I promise you, there is NO BETTER option than Iguana Surf. Even if you've never surfed before and just wanna do something adventurous for a week in Costa Rica, this place is still perfect. I loved this place, and I can't express it enough. PURA VIDA
