  • Just back from our first surf experience in Ericeira. What can I say it was one of the best holidays we had as a family, we are an active bunch but you know what we had the right combination of physical activity and then coming back to the lodge which gave us the chance to relax with each other after the surfing .The fresh water pool was a new experience  as was the games room a real treat for our boys its the first time they could play pool without having to ask for money.  The surfing was exhilarating hard work, addictive and even though I ski and run the effect on the body was amazing great for your core strength. If you want to loose a few pounds and tone up its a guarantee you would get a result.  Eating out in Ericera was not only great value but a high standard of food especially if you like fish. Every restaurant you recommended we could not fault.
    The staff were very professional and helpful Tobi kept in touch every day to let us know what time the surf was on. We were well looked after at the beach by the instructors Flavio and Joanne were great and Flavio looked after my two boys when the powerful waves got too much for them he showed them tricks in the water and entertained them while still helping those who were surfing which meant I was able to surf .
    I havn't stopped raving about it since Ive been home and I would say to anyone don't be put off if your not a great swimmer because its not about being able to swim in the sea its about having fun getting exercise and feeling alive and energised and the best bit at night you can eat and drink all you like because you work it all off the next day. its the first holiday I've been on that i came home in better shape than when I left.  We will be booking again -  the Mckeone family

  • Wow... what an amazing holiday. I am lost for words, for once! I was just blown away by everything - the beach, the fishing village itself, and of course the lodges (which were right up my street)... We used the BBQ nearly every evening, and I am a bit of a hippie so I just loved the whole concept and ethos of the lodges... The surfing was brilliant and everyone looked after us so well. Thanks a million for the trip, I plan to go back next year to the lodges to improve the surf! Emma - Waterford

  • We had a ball. I've been raving about it since and really hope to get back there next Easter.  The whole experience was amazing. The people were so nice. From the minute we arrived and Renata collected us, to meeting Tobi and our instructor Flavio. I couldn't praise them enough. Everyone was so friendly and helpful.  The accommodation was in a great location and well kitted out. The town was gorgeous. I was expecting a tiny little village with nothing much to see or do.  On the contrary the town was a happening place. We tried out most of the restaurants on the list and the food in Ericeira was divine.We all really loved the surf lessons and had great craic with Flavio. By day 3 we thought we'd never be able to last till the end, because there were aches in muscles we didn't know we had. But I'm glad to say we lasted till the end and had forgotten about the pain by then.  I've been on a few yoga holidays abroad but I thought that the surfing holiday was great value for money. I can't wait to go again. Mary - Cork

  • The trip was fantastic.  We loved Ericeira, a beautiful old fishing town with great seafood and a lovely relaxed atmosphere.  The lodges were great, less than a 5 minute walk from the town centre.  Toby, Flavio (surf instructor) and Renee (transport) were great.  We loved the people, very chilled out with a sense of humour. It was really nice to chill out at the beach bar after surfing and the Ondi goatscheese salad is really good!   Thanks for recommending Ericeira we’ll be back. Cathleen - Dublin

  • Holiday went great, absolutely fab; lodges were perfect, surf lessons/instructor were great and the town was lovely - we'd go back in the morning! We couldnt believe how cheap it was to live out there! Thanks a mill for all the recommeded restaurants etc - they were great! Thanks for everything, hopefully will be in contact with ye again soon!!

  • We had a great time in Ericeira in the EcoLodges and with the surf school. Tobi and Renata, the driver, were very good to us and have a great set up. It was fantastic to get our lunch at the beach bar after finishing in the water in the morning. Our surf instructor, Flavio was absolutely excellent, so encouraging and you could really tell he wanted us all to learn the real skills and lose the bad habits we had learnt in Ireland!!! I learnt an awful lot thanks to him. The Lodges were great -  peaceful and relaxing. And the town is quite pretty. We ate out so well in seafood and fish restaurants, particularly the Mar da Vista and the Mar d'Areia and everyone around the town was so friendly - Grainne, Westmeath

  • The holiday went really well, we fell in love with Ericeira and will definitely go back.  The surf lessons were great and the instructors were really great guys.  We did 10 lessons in the two weeks and loved every minute of it.  Toby invited us to a beach party on our last night, which was a nice touch.  There's something about this place that makes you feel at home.  We had three teenagers with us and they loved the lodges.  They loved the pool and all the common room to hang out and the hammock to relax.  We met great people at the lodges, Catherine, John, Brian & Hannah, who very kindly let us have showers in their lodge before our flight home - great neighbours!!  The Lodges are in a beautiful peaceful setting, very tranquil. We had three vegetarians with us (one doesn't eat fish) so we found Pedra Dura, Pinta and Prim catered better for their needs.  Great food everywhere anyway and very reasonable too.If I was to give any piece of advice it would be to pack light, this is a laid back place with cobble streets so no high heels or fancy clothes required. We should of packed for sun in the day and just a couple of pairs of jeans for the night. Once the sun goes down it gets cool enough just for jeans and a jumper. Thank you Surf holidays for a really different holiday - we can't wait to go back!! Thanks again & regards, Sonia, Kildare

  •  We had a wonderful holiday in Ericeira.We loved the lodges,pool, beach and town. The kids loved the surf , the adults are too old for the surf !! We enjoyed our time there and will return as it is the nicest place we have been. We did not need a car really so would not recommend it . Thank you for everything. Adrian ,Katherine Ava & Mark.

 
  • Cheers for everything, the lads and i enjoyed ourselves.  The lodges were really better than they appeared on the website and really made the surfing holiday.  The surf was great too, missed a few days as it was too big but 3 of the lads got out everyday. Tik Tak was one of our favourites and another down by the sea that i can’t remember the name of, but overall the food was great.  Tobi was a great help and basically helped orgainse everything for us.  We used the bus every now and again. Thanks again and we all said we would consider going back next year, so il drop you an line when the time come's. Conor, Sligo

  • Wow what a surf holiday! Completely unique and unlike any other we've ever been on and would definitely go back in a shot. All of us were complete surfing novices when we left the UK, and we returned all able to stand and catch waves, so a massive success on that front, thanks to the expert tuition from "Coach Flavio", who imparted his local wisdom of the waves on each of us.   We were all hugely impressed with the Eco-Lodges, which are very near to the centre of town, and a bit further from the beach. The "lodges" themselves are perfect for 4 - really we were only in them to sleep and shower. The rest of the time we spent by the awesome grill and table by the natural pool, having bought  food and drink very cheaply from the local markets. I've got to say the natural pool was probably the best thing about the lodges. Free from salt or chlorine, the pool is home to an ecosystem of plants, lilies and frogs (one of our group actually had an acute fear of frogs and grew to love them by the end!). Seriously though, it actually feels like you are swimming in a picturesque pond, refreshing and natural after a tough day's surfing. There's also a deck which we spent a lot of time on, usually between 4-8 in the afternoon, lying/sleeping, just generally chilling in the sun - nice!  The surf groups tended to be more mixed in the morning, so for real beginners this is the best option. However, after the first few we found that we got more from the afternoon sessions, slightly higher standards, smaller groups and less kids. We couldn't actually find any hire cars (one of the group who knows who he is was too lazy to arrange!), but to our luck it worked out that we didn't need one at all. The driver Renata was really helpful, would pick us up each morning to take us to the beach, and always very happy to do a detour on the way back via supermarket or cashpoint. It almost felt as if she was a personal chauffeur to our group, and worked out much better value than 2 cars would have been (also we'd have ended up lost the whole time).  On the last night Tobi (who owns the beach bar/restaurant) hosted a massive party - a big bbq first followed by some eclectic Reggae-Beats served up by Gi-Gi - son of the owner of the best fish restaurant in town (seriously fresh fish grilled to perfection - especially the clams) and generally an all-round hero. This finished at around 2, then on to 121 bar to ensure we all had good hangovers to travel back with.  To sum it up, this place is brilliant for a small group (we were 8). You do not see many tourists and can properly chill in Ericeira wherever you are as it feels so far from the UK. We would all highly recommend the lodges and surf lessons, and guarantee you will catch "the bug" (surfing not swine flu) if you've not already!   Ben, London

  • We enjoyed our week in Ericeria . The Lodges and especially all the facilities in the complex made for a relaxing stay. The town was relaxing,not too busy,friendly people ,nice coffee shops and restaurants.Best meal at new Tik Tak TAPAS bar/restaurant.Most important of all however was the fact that everyone we met - Tobi,fellow guests,Renata our taxi driver and the local people- were all so friendly and given Cormac was on crutches so helpful. Thanks to all.We went on to Cascais/Lisbon were we had similar experiences. Tony & Family, Kildare

  • We had an absolute ball in Ericeira - well probably to be more precise it was the lodges and the other people there that really made it for us.  Age ranged from 4 - 71 and we all got on famously. We even organised a big Barbie one of the evenings for everyone (bar the kiddies) - there was something like 21 of us...which turned into a mock wedding of the 71 year old and myself, there were speeches, throwing of the bouquet and a disco downstairs in the common area til 6am!!! The surfing was great...it was great getting out to clear the head! So all in all a great holiday....are any of the other locations ye have as good or would that be one of the best (I'm thinking of my next holiday already....but sure with this weather who could blame me!) - Niamh, Ireland

  • >Great place, great frogs good at singing, very relaxed, food lovely, great town, the wine was amazing nb the Green wine. Advice: Send directions in Portugeuse and english for getting from airport to the lodges (our taxi driver spoke no english) The buses are great value. We will be back. Victor & Ruth, Wicklow

  • I thought the lodges were fantastic, great idea and a cool space-especially for groups-would definitely consider it again for a group surf holiday with friends, they were near everything, safe and had everything you needed. The town was great, people were really friendly, shops were cool, we used all the info you had sent us, had lovely meals all at great prices etc. The surfing was also a great experience. Thanks for a wonderful trip! Paula, Ireland

  • We had a great time thanks.  Really loved the eco lodges and everyone was really nice.  We would love to buy a house there one day. Gina, Donegal

  • Yeah, had a whale of a time thanks!  The lodges are beautiful...easily one of the most awesomest places i have ever stayed! Great Surf Holiday. Thanks, Rach, Cornwall

  • We had a great surf holiday in Ericiera! The Eco Lodges were magic, far above our expectations! We loved the accomodation, especially the pool and common areas like the bar. Surf lessons were quite good too. We were all very much beginners but the guys took us through everything and helped us along - sticking to the beginners beaches so we weren't overwhelmed. Claire, Galway

  • Thanks for the email, we had a wonderful holiday at the lodges in Ericeira. With the welcome pack and maps the holiday went very smoothly. It was very relaxing from start to finish! We ate out at the Tik Tak restaurant and Tik Tapas two nights each because your recommendation was right! The surf school went great, well organized and yet very relaxed. Looking forward to travelling with surf holidays again! Many thanks,Suzanne, Ireland 
 
  • The lodges were great! and the surf was awesome, found it hard at first but by the end i was catching some pretty big waves. We found 2 great bars: la luna, and a cocktail bar in the town centre. The fillet steak in tik tak was delicious.  Thanks for a great surfing holiday and i am considering going surfing again. Brian, Galway, Ireland  

  • Surf holiday was lovely, everyone very friendly, helpful etc.  i would recommend it to someone for sure... thanks for organising this and big thanks to the manager - lent us his daughter's clothes when our were lost by easyjet (!) Cheers, Jim, UK  

  • We had a brill surfing holiday. The lodges were perfect, loved the vibe of the place. Ericeira was beautiful and loved the fact it wasn't very commercialised. The surfing was great craic, I never got the hang of it but my boyfriend managed to stand up a few times! Would defo recommend it friends and plan on going back as soon as we can :-) Thanks a mill, Lena, Kildare, Ireland  

  • We had a fantastic surf holiday thank you.  The lodges were beautiful in their own little oasis and great for the kids.  The surfing was fantastic – the instructors very good with the kids. They seemed to have loads of good equipment too.  We really liked Ericeria, it was probably quite quiet whilst we were there which was lovely. Overall a great holiday.  Thanks a million. Danielle, Ireland  

  • Oh my god, I loved it. I think it was seriously one of the best holidays I've ever had!
    The lodges are gorgeous and so peaceful. We got to know everyone in them by the end! Its amazing listening to the birds and frogs...felt like we were in the tropics. Anyway every morning we went surfing at 10 am and I totally became addicted..its so much fun. waves were perfect for us. I felt so revived afterwards and we still had the whole day to do stuff. We usually went back to lodges afterwards, had some lunch and chilled out on the sun loungers...we all usually fell asleep for a couple of hours!! One day we ate in Tobi's place at the beach...food is so good actually and then we sunbathed on the beach...totally blissful! Two of the evenings we had a yoga class with Carla. Oh my god, she is so lovely. Then we'd head out to the town for dinner. I'm afraid we only got as far as Prim and Tik tak!! We went to both places at least twice! It was just so good!! Pedro was so nice. Had the sea bass and steak...to die for. I keep dreaming about them still. All the food is just so fresh and tasty. It was my perfect mix of a perfect holiday...surf, yoga, food, wine and sun....and chilled!!! So good. Have recommended it to everyone I chat to about it! See you soon, Claire – Cork, Ireland  

  • All of us had a ball on our surf holiday in Portugal. The Lodges were perfect, with a bit of everything, from the pool table, the take and replace bar system to the BBQ and swimming pool. Ericea had plenty of gorgeous resturants. Surfing was brilliant and the instructors were REALLY patient. Foz do Lizandro beach was gorgeous. Thanks again for everything and all the helpful info before we left. Def recommend the whole thing. Barbara, Ireland
 
  • We had a brilliant time in Ericeira. Loved every minute of it. The Eco Lodges are a really great place to stay and the town itself is a great spot. The information you sent us came in very useful too. I'm looking at possible going again with a few mates in September/October and will be in touch when we know what we're doing - Shane, Ireland
 
  •  The lodges are beautiful...easily one of the most awesomest places i have ever stayed! On the whole, a great trip and i would definitely recommend it to friends/family looking to surf! - Rach, UK
     
  • We had a great time in Ericiera! The Eco Lodges were magic, far above our expectations! We loved the accomodation, especially the pool and common areas like the bar- Claire, Dublin

  • We had a fantastic holiday in Ericeira, magnificant place. The Eco Lodges were ideal and the surfing was so much fun - Orla, Ireland

  • We had a fab time, the lodges are great - we really loved them. The fellas did some good surfing too. We're already trying to fix a date to go back next year, so no doubt I'll be in touch again! Faye, Dublin

  • The lodges along with the setting were gorgeous. The town of Ericeira is a lovely place too. Some great bars and restaurants to be found. The surfing was superb. We wouldn't be off the highest standard, but it suited us perfectly - Conor, Dublin

  • We had a great time in Ericeira, and the Eco Lodges are fabulous, we really didn't believe they would be so cool! It's great to see that they are kind to the environment also - Kara, Denmark

  • We all had a brilliant time..the town was perfect, the lodges somehow look better in person then in the photos, and the beaches were just fantastic - Brian, Ireland

  • The holiday was brilliant, lodges were great, surf was good every day and the instructors were excellent. Eiriciera is just lovely, I was there when I was a kid and the old town hasn't changed a bit.  We met loads of people in the lodges and had some great bbq nights and sing songs. The only problem is a week just isn't enough. We will definately be going back - Daragh, Ireland

  • The lodges were out of this world and we will be telling everyone about them. Kids and adults alike enjoyed it. The surf was perfect but too good for us beginners so we settled for the beach. Will definitly be heading back there. Thanks again for all your help - Grainne, Ireland
