Delicious Dining Experience

The food at Dreamsea was absolutely very nice! Every meal was a treat, especially the three-course dinners. I loved the vegetarian options, and the veggie burger was the best I've ever had. The breakfasts were generous and kept me fueled for the day of surfing ahead!

Really good Surf Lessons

The surf lessons were amazing! I had an amazing time learning to ride the waves thanks to the passionate instructors, especially José, who helped me stand up on the second day. The surf theory lessons were also informative and helped prepare me for my time in the water. It's a great environment for both beginners and advanced surfers.

Charming Room Aesthetics

I stayed in a beautifully designed room made of wood and bamboo that really added to the tropical vibe of my experience. Even though it was warm, the open design created a refreshing atmosphere and made my stay all the more nice. I appreciated the scenic views surrounding the area as well.

I had a great time at the resort overall, with some highlights being the beautiful activities it offered and the friendly surf coaches. However, my overall experience was dampened by the management and unresolved transportation issues that created unnecessary stress during my stay. I believe if the management improves, it could be a fantastic spot for anyone looking to relax and enjoy a variety of activities.

I had a mixed experience at Dreamsea. On one hand, the surf coaches were absolutely fantastic, and the meals were delicious. The location is beautiful, surrounded by nature. On the other hand, the dorms were not as clean or well-maintained as I hoped, and the overall organization could use improvement. Additionally, the service at times felt rushed.

Overall, my stay at the surf camp was a mixed bag. The surf lessons and friendly instructors were standout features, and the food pleasantly surprised me with its quality. However, the condition of the rooms left much to be desired, as they were shabby and not very clean. Additionally, I faced issues with communication regarding extra costs and the overall organization of the surfing sessions. If you're looking for a vibrant surf experience and can overlook some inconveniences, this place might still be worth considering.
