Dreamsea surf camp made my experience here in Costa Rica completely unreal! The people you meet here soon become your family and make saying goodbye extremely hard. Most days there are activities, excursion and events on in town so there’s always something to do, and the staff and surf instructors and really helpful and friendly. I planned to stay here for 3 weeks as a volunteer and loved it so much I stayed for an extra week. Would highly recommend to anyone who wants to learn to surf, experience Costa Rica, make new friends and have a good time. !

The place has really cool young energy. I have stayed for a month as a volunteer and enjoyed the experience really a lot. Surfing place is good for both beginners and experienced surfers. Thinking to repeat this trip one day !!

I arrived there and felt involved from the very first moment to everyone there, they start every day with a new introduction and also time to say goodbye to the others when they leave. it was set up very nicely by some friendly and funny staff, I was only there for two days because I was traveling through but had a lot of adventures with this nice group of people. However, it is really the most fun for people up to the age of 35 max, because it is often all a bit younger. Thnx for all the fun and adventure, next time i come back to catch a Nice ola 🌊🤙

My friend and I had never been surfing before. We booked our lessons with Carlos who was extremely responsive and easy to contact on whatsapp. We had lessons today with Mariano and Tony. They were both great teachers. they were patient and encouraging and inspiring. We both managed to get up several times and loved the whole experience. Highly recommend Dreamsea Surf School.

My wife and I stayed here last week and had an absolutely unforgettable experience. We loved the camp and its surroundings, you really are in the jungle! The food was really tasty in the mornings and evenings and the excursions were really just so well put together. We met some truly great people including the staff and will absolutely return without as shadow of a doubt. Pura Vida!

The place looks absolutely nothing like any of the photos that are shown online. I was a volunteer and was shocked at the filthy living conditions around the camp. The volunteer dorms were exposed to the outside leaving countless critters around us at all times. They were careful to not have any photos of inside the volunteer dorm on the website because of how filthy it is. You can’t even walk around without shoes because of the mud that is all on the floors inside. Some people that I met from the UK called it a military camp. The 2 meals you are promised a day are basically scraps as they barely have enough food for everyone at the camp. The “bar” that they have there is not worth it to drink at all it’s overpriced and there’s no real bartender there anyway. They forget to mention that the shuttle that is offered to the beach only comes once a day at 11am and then it takes you back at 6pm. The camp had a lot of people so everyone squishes onto it. It is not a 20 minute walk to the beach it is an hour walk because you are in more of a jungle area. So it’s not as accessible to get to the downtown area on your own unless you uber. As for the surfing lessons it is one “instructor” teaching like 20 people at a time. It is overpriced and you could get a solo lesson for the same price if not cheaper at the beach yourself. While I was there I also heard of peoples things like their passports and money going “mysteriously missing” there’s no lockbox or anything to put your valuables in. There is absolutely no sense of security. Anyone really could just walk in there. The whole site is just run down nothing feels clean. I’ve been to summer camp before I wouldn’t even say dream sea is as clean as a summer camp. I would advise not to stay here even if you are coming as a guest because it is all 18-21 year olds at the camp. They specifically ask the volunteers to bring cash to pay for the stay because they will not refund you in that case. Most of the people I met there wanted to leave but were young and did not have the money to do so. The hostels in town are a better option to stay at. Also this dream sea is not affiliated with the other dream sea organizations that exist. They just took the logo and put in on their instagram page but it is not an official dream sea surf camp. A lot of time is spent into making their social media page look amazing but it’s not what it seems.

I had a great time at Dreamsea Surfcamp Costa Rica. Beautiful camp area, amazing people, fun times. Alot of different things to do, nice excursions to fantastic beaches and waterfalls. I love it! Furthermore I can say, that the freelancing experience at camp was more than fullfilling. So many Tattoos and happy people!
