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.
