Guys thank you so much for everything. I’ve joined a few surfcamps already but i’ve never improved and learned so much as over here in only one week. We felt in love with this place in the first second (that’s why we came back after a few days of traveling ). The place, the people, the food and the whole experience was just beautiful. Thanks for making our holiday unforgettable.
Highly recommend staying here!★★★★★★★★☆☆

I had a great stay (too short!) at Global Surf. They had just opened after renovation so I was one of their 1st guests! The design is really trendy & fresh. The room & the bathroom were so comfortable. All the staff are so friendly, especially the managers Adam & Stef. They were still working on their menu when I was there but the food I ate cooked by the chef was delicious. They have a lovely pool and organise yoga classes and surf trips in the area. Highly recommend staying here!
Awesome place to relax★★★★★★★★☆☆
