What the reviews say:

"We had an amazing time at the Surf Ranch. Luke and Travis run a fantastic establishment with extremely helpful and friendly staff. We ate at least two meals a day at the ranch and the food is consistently good. The pool was relaxing after a long day of adventure. The rooms do not have AC or a TV, but I didn't travel 3000 miles to sit in a hotel room, which I think is the kind of crowd they are trying to attract; People who will hang out at the bar, socialize with the other gringos, and who are there for the activities, not the thread count of the bed linen.

The surfing at Remanso beach was perfect for beginners. Everyone told us to take the shuttle to Hermosa beach, which is apparently the best in the area. You have to pay for a shuttle to this beach but apparently it's worth it.

I would definitely visit the surf ranch again. Particularly after November when their climbing wall will be up and running!"

"My best friend and I bought an awesome deal on Zozi.com for an all inclusive 5night/6day stay at the Surf Ranch Nicaragua. We really had no idea what we were getting ourselves into when we bought the package, we just wanted to get out of the states for a quick vacation and explore inexpensively. What we got was a life-changing all around amazing experience!! San Juan del Sur is a quaint, beautiful location. The Surf Ranch itself has enough fun that you'd never have to leave: pool, pool bar, skate park, air pad, paintball. We did yoga in town, went surfing every single day, explored multiple beaches via dirt bikes, went ziplining, and so much more! The Surf Ranch helps you to coordinate all of your off-site activities with ease. There is also a free shuttle that takes you to and from the town square. The staff is friendly, polite, and a lot of fun. They are happy to offer advice and recommendations. The food is delicious, and with the all-inclusive package, there was plenty of beer and rum to go around! You will often see the owners mingling about, happy to help, or just to chat. We instantly made new friends with our other ranch mates staying on the property. San Juan del Sur is definitely underdeveloped by American standards, but the culture is part of what brings the experience to life! We will be back. Thank you for the unforgettable adventure, Surf Ranch Nicaragua! Nica <3
