Kai M.
The little cafe and bar right in front of the accommodation has a lovely sea view, and the food was good too. We came near the end of September, so it wasn't too busy, and the waves were good. We booked through Surf Inn and had four great days with daily surf lessons. Breakfast was fine, though I'm not much of a fan of having that much toast. :D

We waited an hour and a half for a burger. I really can't recommend this restaurant. The service was just not good.

I really enjoyed the surf lessons. There was one instructor for every three students, so they could help us improve while still making it fun. The team was friendly, helpful, and spoke English. Longboard paradise is also a great place to meet people and take it easy. They had something planned every day, like watching the sunset, visiting another beach, making your own caipirinha, or joining a free yoga session. Thanks for a great time!

Really nice people, both on the staff and among the hostel guests, and the whole place has a surf vibe. Thanks to Margaux! Also, big thanks to Emiliano, Lucas, Daniel and Bruwni for the lessons. We learned a lot and were happy to get up every morning for our session. Thanks, everyone 🙂

We only meant to stay a few days, then ended up here for more than a month. The place is lovely, and the location is hard to beat: right across from the best surf spot, but still quiet at night. The rooms are beautifully designed, the staff are so kind and always ready to help. There's a cool coworking area with great wifi, and the kitchen has everything you need. You won't want to leave. 🫶🏼😁
