What People Are Saying

Believe Surf & Yoga in Santa Teresa offers a combined surf and yoga experience with a focus on wellness and mindfulness, though reviews reveal significant inconsistency in service quality and guest experience. When things go well, guests praise the excellent location, good breakfast, and quality surf instruction. The yoga studio and classes receive some positive mentions, with skilled instructors leading good sessions. The property's design is attractive, and the concept of integrating surf and yoga appeals to many. However, multiple reviews cite serious issues with staff attitude, describing reception personnel as unfriendly, unhelpful, and lacking empathy. The yoga studio's location near a busy main road significantly impacts the experience, with constant traffic noise from scooters, buses, and trucks disrupting classes and meditation. Room quality is inconsistent, with some guests satisfied while others report cleanliness problems, maintenance issues including roof leaks, and doors being left unlocked by cleaning staff. The overall atmosphere receives criticism for lacking the welcoming, connected vibe guests expect from a yoga and surf retreat. Management responsiveness to problems appears limited based on reviews.
