Surfing coach even for intermediate surfers! - Antonio is a great surfing coach. He gave me a few perfect hints thanks to which I was able to surf really big waves on my own!

First time surfers 🌴😊 - The instructors were patient and made sure everyone was surfing pretty quickly. The instructors were friendly and really know what they are doing. We all had a blast!

Dropping in - This was a great surfing experience. The teachers were kind and knowledgeable. They took great photos as well. I highly recommend for any family looking to learn to surf in a beautiful location.

Amazing and Unforgettable Experience - This is an unforgettable experience! My kids and I had never surfed before, and were all a bit hesitant, but knew that Costa Rica was the place to give this a try. It was amazing! We each had our own instructor and they worked with us at our own comfort level. They were very encouraging as they guided you through the whole experience and made you feel at ease and confident. Definitely give this a try if you are visiting the area!

Great time with excellent instructors! - We had such an awesome time surfing with Dante's Watersports. We took lessons in the morning and we're the only ones. Even though we signed up for group lessons, they have my son and I individual instructors. The instructors, Raul and Samuel [sic], we're very clear and have good examples on what to do and what not to do. They got us both up on waves the very first time and we're very enthusiastic and encouraging. This was a great way to end our trip!

Family surf lesson - My husband and my four kids booked a surfing lesson with Dante. The kids are 13, 11, 9 and 7. All of us are beginners or had only done it once. Every one of us had their own super friendly surf instructor who stayed with us in the water all the time. Told us when to catch a wave, when to stand up and helping the little ones to pull the board back to the correct spot. That made us all feel very safe and relaxed and also successful so that every one managed to stand on the board a couple of times. After the approximately one hour lesson, Dante provided beach loungers and chairs, fruit and water. We were then able to use boogie boards free of charge as well and Dante made sure we stayed in safe waters and always looked out for the kids. Round trip to the hotel and rash guards for the duration of the time at the beach were provided. Extremely good experience!

Friendly instructor - Wonderful lesson. The instructor was very patient and helpful the whole time being encouraging while trying to figure it all out. Very friendly.

Surf’s up!! - My boys (12 &14) have surfed before but my husband and I have not. Great instruction, demo and practice prior to getting in the water. Instructors were so kind, helpful with feedback and patient. Happy to report we all caught some waves! Thanks for a fun morning!

Beautiful location and great instructors for beginners - We really enjoyed our surfing lessons with the instructors at Dante’s! They were awesome with our teenager and were very encouraging to get all of us up in the board at least once. The drone and photos were extra and well worth it.

Much shorter surfing lesson than offered - We had deliberately chosen the more expensive 3-hour offer from Dante over a cheaper 2-hour offer because we wanted to surf longer. There was a short briefing on site where I had to demonstrate the movement only once. That was it. In the water, the teachers were very nice and there was 1-on-1 supervision and it was fun. At some point we were told that this was the last wave and we went back to the beach. There we were given pineapples and that was it. No further information about whether it was over or what was going to happen next. At this point 1.20 hours had passed from the pick-up to the return to the beach. We therefore asked if it would continue because we had paid for 3 hours. However, we were only told that it would only be 1 hour, but that they would ask the boss. A short time later, Dante himself appeared and asked us about our experience. We told him that we had expected to spend more time in the water. We know that the trainers can't be in the water with us for 3 hours, but we could have taken a 1 hour break and then continued again. Dante then offered us the chance to come back the next day and get a free surfing lesson. We accepted the offer and showed up on time at the stated time. Due to our further plans, we drove to the beach ourselves. When we got there, nobody knew anything. Since the situation was already strange and we felt stupid, we went back and wrote to Dante. We didn't get a reply. In total, everyone paid $70 for less than an hour of surfing and a stupid feeling. Later on our vacation, we had another surfing course in Jaco, which only cost $40 per person and was much better and we spend nearly 2 hours in the Water with a trainer who really teached us, so we could even try to catch a wave on our own.
