Surfing Turtle beach

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Surfing Turtle Lodge, and I must say, it was an unforgettable experience. The tranquility and peace provided by the surroundings made it the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life. The sunsets I witnessed were nothing short of breathtaking, painting the sky in hues of orange and pink that left me in awe. The staff were incredibly kind and welcoming, making me feel at home from the moment I arrived. I also appreciated the safety measures in place, which gave me peace of mind during my stay. And let's not forget the food - absolutely delicious! Each meal was a culinary delight, showcasing the local flavors and ingredients. Overall, my stay was nothing short of perfect, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful retreat with stunning views and exceptional hospitality.

I had a fantastic experience learning to surf at Surfing Turtle. The staff and volunteers were attentive and friendly, with a special shoutout to Willbert, the surf teacher. There were always fun activities happening in the evenings, and the food and drinks were reasonably priced. However, there were a few downsides. As a vegetarian, I found the limited food options—only about five choices for lunch and dinner—became monotonous over a week-long stay. I would recommend a shorter visit. Additionally, the restaurant's hours are from 7 AM to 7 PM, so bringing snacks is essential. Another issue was the condition of the animals they keep there; some of the dogs appeared underfed and it was heartbreaking to see them begging for food whenever we sat down to eat.

¡Tuvimos una estancia increíblemente romántica y agradable en esta playa! Tuvimos la suerte de estar allí durante la temporada de liberación de tortugas. Si no está acostumbrado a un ambiente rústico para mochileros o busca una experiencia de lujo, es posible que este lugar no sea para usted. El colchón de nuestra cabaña era de espuma fina y hacía bastante calor, incluso con un ventilador. Sin embargo, todavía lo pasamos increíble. La comida era particularmente deliciosa, el personal era amable y la plataforma de la playa era perfecta para practicar yoga (¡incluso proporcionaron colchonetas!). El surf también fue muy relajado, a un precio razonable y adecuado para principiantes. Dado que solo hay un camino de entrada y salida, es fácil caminar hacia y desde el cruce de botes sin depender de los caballos sobrecargados de trabajo que parecían tener una vida difícil. ¡Sin duda regresaríamos a este paraíso y tendríamos el placer de conocer gente maravillosa de todo el mundo!

After getting off the bus at Chepe's Bar, you take a boat down the river and then either walk or ride a horse-drawn cart to the lodge, which is about 800 meters away. The resort boasts a fantastic owner and a pleasant atmosphere, complete with a terrace for yoga and relaxation. Aldo, one of the owners, is very generous and charismatic, always engaging with the guests. Surfing is available right on the beach, with board rentals and lessons offered. While the waves can be unpredictable at times, you can still catch some nice ones! There are also other activities like volleyball, games, and books available on site. Highly recommended!

Luego de bajarte del autobús en Chepe's Bar, puedes caminar o tomar un carro tirado por caballos hasta el albergue, que está a unos 800 metros de distancia. El complejo tiene un propietario maravilloso y un ambiente agradable, completo con una terraza para yoga y relajación. Aldo, uno de los propietarios, es increíblemente generoso y carismático y se asegura de interactuar con todos los invitados. Justo en la playa encontrarás excelentes oportunidades para practicar surf, con opciones para alquilar tablas y tomar lecciones. Aunque las olas a veces pueden ser impredecibles, ¡todavía puedes pescar algunas impresionantes! Además, hay otras actividades disponibles como voleibol, juegos y una selección de libros en el lugar. Recomiendo encarecidamente este lugar.
