What Our Guests Say
Our instructor was patient and genuinely cared that we caught real waves, not just stood up once for a photo. Staying at the pool house made the whole week easy.
Avellanas itself is stunning and so much quieter than Tamarindo. The Santa Teresa day trip was the highlight of our package.
Booked the Pavones Wave Chaser package. Long lefts, a great instructor, and the pool back at the house was perfect after long sessions.
