I had a good week at Lapoint ! But some things just don't add up and could be improved: - transfers from airport are 55€ for a 2 hours drive and they are not encouraging people to optimize transport by grouping before hand. I realized how expensive it was when we booked a 5hours drive from Kandy for just 80€ without negotiating with our driver. - transparency they don't have the beach villa anymore, which would have been a place where we could have hanged out. Instead only the garden villa. Somehow you get less service, given how beautiful the beach is. We booked a 4people dorm but I guess with the bigger garden villa, there were 6 people dorms and we were in it. With no apology again, and two of our beds didn't have any plug. These are the only plugs in the room, so we had to go outside to charge phones. - transparency also involve the absence of alcohol on site. You CANNOT buy beer at Lapoint, but you cannot either put yours in the fridge! So it's 30 degrees beer, I understand the legal limitation but it would have been cool to be more explicit prior to booking and to ensure easier access to ice / place to cool our beverage. - surf lessons: while the beginners lessons seems awesome, I spent my three first days, so 60% of the surfcamp with my instructor not able to see me standing on a wave because he was waiting next to us. "Oh, I thought you had fallen since we didn't see you" was what I got :-) On the last day it was sooo nice, he stood 30meters ahead of us in the water, and saw each of our attempts and gave feedback, I wished everyday was like this. Another instructor for my friends was so cool as to take waves "on the shoulder" just to ride with the students and observe them. 2 hours is also very short. 2.30 would be a bit better. But we could surf in the afternoon. It would have been great to be explained the surfspot right in front of the garden villa too, Little Rock. Nice one, crowded, but when I wanted to surf I wasn't 100% sure of how to handle it. - yoga: I asked about Yoga lessons, having the two Yoga lessons was really important to me. They put both during my surf lessons, WHY ? I even came to them after the first to ask that they make sure the second isn't during my surf lesson, well, it was. - time with your friends: we had three different levels, one had lessons at 6am, the other at 9am and the last at 1pm... The previous surfcamps I did managed to make lessons at same time. This has a bad impact on solo traveler as well, because to arrange 3 timings of lessons during a day, sometime they know the waves won't be that good because of the high tide, but still bring you. Again, the lack of transparency was something that really had a bad impact, I spent time researching info, this wasn't (or not easily if I missed it) available. - some details: a hidden hole in the grass with a plastic pipe in which i fell twice :-) expect light to come in your room, noises of the road (people love to use the horn there!). There are so many good things also: clean, food is delicious even if maybe a bit repetitive, boards are really great, and people clean your room everyday. But in the end it costed 800 + 110 (transfers) + 100 (excursions) + 70 (two dinners) which is far more than alternatives in Marocco / Portugal. I hear how great Lapoint was in Costa Rica, the Garden Villa isn't the same. We would have been better renting an amazing room on the beach, and taking surflessons for the week somewhere. We still had a good time :-) But it's not all amazing :-)

A wonderful surf camp that teaches beginners as well as intermediate surfing. The instructors are licensed and knowledgeable. They give taylored feedback in small group lessons (4-5 students). The equipment seems adequate and we never had any problems... plenty of surfboards to choose from! They care about the environment and have noticeable practices to reduce plastic and pollution (e.g. no plastic straws or water bottles). They regularly (weekly) clean up the kabalana beach as a camp to keep their nearest beach clean and pleasant. The food is freshly prepared every day with a large offering and lunch is made to order. Rooms are cleaned daily and fresh towels are given at the beginning and mid-week. They know the area and have brokered deals with local taxi drivers, masseuse/spa, restaurants and tour guides to give you the ultimate experience outside of surfing. The grounds are immaculate with a swimming pool, TV-area, beach volleyball, and communal dining. The staff are friendly and make a special effort to ensure guests are enjoying their stay. Bring your own first aid supplies, a blue tooth speaker, a game to play with friends, a water bottle, and an extra towel. There is a communal fridge- none in the rooms. Primarly English is spoken at camp but its run by a Norwegian company.

I cannot rate La Point enough. Everyone that works there is amazing and when they say they want to give you the best week of your life they mean it! We had such an incredible week. Insanely good surf coaching I can’t believe how much we progressed in a week, thanks to Jelly! The food was next level amazing and always delivered with a smile. I had special vegan pancakes and other options everyday. Local curry’s were so so so good!! The social host were the best always there to make sure the mood was happy and on point for all the different characters and everyone had what they needed to have the best week ever. We will return. Big big thanks to La point team ❤️

Spent a week at this amazing place learning how to surf and chill with great people! The staff was very helpful and the food was better than expected👌🏼

Amazing surf camp!! The staff and instructors are wonderful! Recommend!!!

Very well organized. Acommodation and food are great. Very clean. Social hosts are also great

Very dangerous point for foreigners.Tuk tuk tu drivers do not allow foreigners to travel in their preferred vehicle.

Lapoint is the best. Highly recommend. One of the best trips I've ever taken.

Chilled out camp, close to the beach, alright food. Friendly staff and teachers.

Enjoyed a great week theres. Camps fairly priced. They have good food options (better than I expected). People are very energetic. The camp provides tuk tuk drivers with pre agreed fares, so no need to bargain.

Food amazing, Staff Amazing, whole package Amazing, highly recommended and will definitely go back

Great place and amazing people!

The staff are very helpful and the service is superb, nice open spaces upstairs with yoga mats where you can stretch/relax. Nice surfskate area, close to good places to eat (Vertigo). Easy access to the water and the surf spot “Sticks” is close.
