Our take

I would choose Mal Pais Surf Camp for a lively, outdoors-focused holiday in Santa Teresa Beach, especially with children. The family rooms, the year-round pool, the private beach area and the playground give everyone something to do, and Carmen Beach is a five-minute walk. Travelers seeking a silent, high-end retreat may find the surf-camp atmosphere too busy. A 9.1 rating across 21 reviews is solid.

  • ✓Take advantage of the private beach area for early morning surf sessions or quiet walks.
  • ✓Utilize the shared kitchen to prepare some meals, especially if traveling with family.
  • ✓Explore Carmen Beach, just a short walk away, for more dining and activity options.
