Travelled as a couple
How did you like the accommodation?
I spent a month travelling around Nicaragua and luckily stumbled upon the surf ranch resort. My girlfriend and I stayed a few days in their amazing rooms and enjoyed the pool, skatepark, airbag and free shuttle service. The staff bent over backwards to make our stay incredible, we experienced service like nowhere else on our trip! You can surf, skate, relax by the pool, eat the best food in San Juan Del Sur and have the time of your life, a must visit!
How were the surf lessons?
Oscar was the best instructor, my girlfriend learned how to get up on the first day and he gave me some awesome tips to improve my surfing. We went to Remanso Beach, it was an awesome beach with great fish tacos.
