We took a week long package with daily coaching with Pierre. It was extremely productive and each of us (4 travelling together) as we all made significant progress, like no where else in such a short time. Pierre is very committed to sharing his knowledge and making you improve your surfing skills.
In addition the spot is great, the beach is so big that there is always a perfect spot with the right swell for every level.
Also I found it very safe.
We were staying at Playa Venao Hotel Resort, which is right on the beach with a huge pool and comfortable rooms.
Club Venao offers a package that includes the surf coaching and the rooms. Great deal!

I actually stood on a surfboard for the first time on Playa Venao and taking my first lesson at Club Venao was the best decision possible. Pierre and Roxanne are incredible nice and helpful people! They and our instructor Tibo took so much time and effort to give me and my boyfriend the best experience! We both stood on out board on our first lesson and learned how to take turns in our second. If you ever make your way to Playa Venao, make sure to take a class with Club Venao. I promise you won’t regret it! :)

I visited Club Venao across Easter and 5 of us had one on one surf lessons. Pierre, Roxanne and their crew were the perfect hosts. Very attentive to the smaller kids and always positive. This is a new venue but deserves to become a success in Playa Venao because of the big hearts of the people running it

The crew that owns/operates this shop are the sweetest bunch. They were so hospitable whenever we stopped by. I took a lesson with Pierre, who taught me to paddle into my first green wave. I've had at least 3 surf instructors and Pierre was by far put me the most at ease. Plus you can tell he really just loves the water and loves to share his stoke. He has over 4 years of experience teaching kids. I'd definitely choose him to teach my children. We also booked a tour to Isla Iguana through them (they are the authorized activitiy concierge for Playa Venao Hotel Resort). We felt well-prepared and escorted by Joseph to/from the launch site. It was a rad, relaxing day on the island where we saw countless iguanas and hermit crabs. Roxanne, who runs the boutique at Club Venao is super sweet and stocks some cute, very reasonably priced, French vintage items of clothing. Overall, kick it with these guys and they will make our stay in Venao feel special.
Pro-tip: Watch the tide charts on days you go to Iguana Island. You will want to do your snorkeling at high tide. Club Venao will provide snorkels and masks for your trip to Iguana, but you have to remind the Capitan of your boat to give them to you as you're exiting the boat. (We forgot and he motored off with our snorkel gear.) You won't see the boat captain until he picks you up to leave the island. The trips to Iguana Island are pretty self catering. The Capitan provides a cooler with water and some chips, but you need to bring your own lunch.

Me and my partner had an amazing time at Club Venao. We had a two hours session of surf lesson with Pierre our instructor. After the lesson we came back to the lovely shop where I had a really nice chat with Roxane who is the person responsible of the shop. Both Pierre and Roxane (French couple) are absolutely lovely people and I could buy some wonderful vintage clothes for such a good price. We definitely will come back there for our next holidays! Thank you to Roxanne and Pierre

We spent one week of holidays at Venao and choosed Club Venao over the others activities centers and we didnot regret it for several reasons:
- Warm welcome : the shop is held by Roxane, Joseph and Pierre who always receive people with a big smile, they are always available and willing to help.
- Quality of surf lessons : Pierre who is very a experienced surfer helped us learn and improve our surfing skills. His professinnalism, his pedagogy were much appreciated. Moreover security was one of his top priority which is very important.
- Activities : the club offers various activities. Joseph and Roxane organized for us the trip to Isla Iguana (see pictures attached) and watterfall rivers. Those trip were well organized and worth the money.
- The shop: the shop offers very nice clothes and accessorizes. Roxane the shop patron is very friendly and funny, it is very likable to spend times and have a beer at the end of the day admiring the sunset.
As you can read, we had a very nice week and strongly recommend Club Venao.
Thank you Roxane, Pierre and Joseph for making us feel at home.

I have been booking surf classes with Pierre. He has been really attentive to my needs and made a nice program for me to improve my surf while having fun.
I also booked tours with club venao such as Isla Iguana. This was an amazing trip, the island is beautiful and the trip was perfectly organize.
I highly recommend club venao and the vibes from Pierre, Roxanne and Joseph.
You can also find cheap and nice clothes at the shop.
