How did you like the accommodation?
It's a cool little town, accomodation is spot on: clean, modern and a stone's throw from the beach.
Host is really helpful and accommodating. Would totally recommend this to anyone, surfer or not
How were the surf lessons?
Beach is massive, 3 miles of clean beautiful coastline but can get a bit busy during the school holidays! Staff are really friendly and it's 1 instructor to 7 surfers so you do get a decent amount of 1 on 1 time.
