Cafecito Surf School & Guesthouse

There's 25 years of dreams built into Cafecito's walls. What began as one family's journey from Nicaragua has grown into a welcoming space filled with connection, laughter, and surf. The guesthouse offers female-only and mixed 4-bed dorms plus private rooms, all air-conditioned and thoughtfully designed with vibrant common spaces, a fully-equipped kitchen, and those small touches—local shampoo and conditioner, coffee and toiletries—that make guests feel at home. The surf program stands out for its intimate attention. Daily group lessons maintain that 2:1 ratio, ensuring personalized feedback whether you're catching your first whitewash wave or working on turns in green water. Video analysis comes standard with package deals, and the local coaches bring generations of wave knowledge to every session. For deeper immersion, 4 and 7-day surf camp packages bundle accommodation with daily coaching, healthy local meals, curated excursions to hidden gems, and yoga/wellness class passes. Guests consistently describe Cafecito as feeling like home—a place where solo travelers quickly make friends and many extend their stays. The magic boat day to Tortuga Island and Montezuma waterfall tours add adventure beyond the break.
