Yes! Tamarindo in general is known as one of the safest beaches in the country, the currents are gentle and the beach is flat with almost no inclination. In addition, the hotel is located at the end of the bay where the waves are the calmest which is why the beach at our end is also ideal for beginner surfers. During low tide, the waves are very small which makes swimming enjoyable for everyone. During high tide, the water level rises and therefore waves become bigger and ideal for surfing or boogie boarding. 

Yes! We have a surf instructor on site. Right in front of the hotel is perfect for beginners or intermediate level surfers (depending on the swell). For advanced surfers, the river mouth is a perfect place to surf.
