What travellers are saying
- Keith MacPhersonPanama89 contributionsThis beach was our kids favorite to date for boogie boarding . They looked forward to it each day we were there . It’s a very clean beach and very big.Written July 6, 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Beth HCincinnati, OH5 contributionsWe had a private yoga class for our family of 6 and Brooks was amazing. We had all levels of experience and everyone loved the class and would definitely do it again. Brooks was very hands-on to ensure we were doing things correctly and her instructions and guidance were second to none. We are already looking for a similar experience back in Cincinnati and can't wait to get involved here at home.Written January 18, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Christine M6 contributionsMy husband, my 14 year old daughter, and I had a fantastic time surfing at the beautiful, secluded part of Playa Grande. Johel and Tim were excellent, friendly, and patient instructors. They gave great feedback and were very encouraging.
Tim took a lot of photos of us which was really nice. Surfing was one of our favorite highlights from our trip to Costa Rica. We will definitely return and surf with Mojo Surf again!Written April 24, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- ajkc3224Bruce Peninsula99 contributionsWent as a group for a BBQ supper, it was delicious. Would have been nice to get some veg with the meat and potato though.Written November 18, 2015This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Marie N1 contributionOne of the best yoga classes I had in a while: the place, the surrounding (close to the beach in the jungle) and of course thanks to Lizz, the teacher! She does an amazing job and for me it was the perfect combination between challenging flows and relaxation. She asks about preferences at the beginning and includes them smoothly into the session. As a surfer it is super cool because she sets the time according to the tide, so you can always do both: surf and yoga!!! She rounds off classes with a scented small towel over your eyes - best part ;-) Thanks Lizz and for everyone joining: enjoy!!!Written July 5, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
