    This was one of the best vacations I’ve ever had. The vibe around the house is special and I took only good memories with me. Also beds were comfortable, rooms beautifully decorated and clean. The food was always delicious and the staff is doing their best to make you happy. Also you can book additional activities like massage or horseriding. I will be back for sure!!

    The place looks exactly the same as in the pictures. They offer great surfing lessons with experienced coaches and other activities for all levels. Also the big advanatage are homemade delicious meals and part of ingredients come straight from the Cliff House garden.

    I love it here and so will you! The staff is awesome, the coaches are knowledgeable and the environment is so relaxing. I booked the surf package and I don’t regret it! I have only been here three days and I have already learned and improved so much! The coaches really help set you up to be successful by finding the best spots to surf, great advice and constructive feedback. Next up- the food!! The food is awesome here! It has a homey vibe and warms you up after a chilly surf day. Lastly, the staff at Cliff went over and above to make my birthday special. I was so appreciative of everything they did for me! Thank you Cliff for an amazing week! I can’t wait to come back.

    The customer service is amazing, staff are always willing to accommodate any request you might have. The premises is well kept, clean and modern. They offer breakfast, lunch and dinner that are excellent with ingredients sourced from the property farm. The surf coaching is some of the best that Santa Cruz has to offer, thoroughly enjoyable. I will definitely return in the near future!

    This week has been so relaxing and rewarding. From surf lessons to lying by the pool the entire week is planned out in a way that it is easy to join activities but also allow you time to bond with everyone staying at cliff. The staff are very nice and helpful, they really bring the whole experience full circle making the house feel more like a home. The vibe is very relaxing. The surfing was great the coaches were really good at identifying what you were doing wrong and improving this so you could catch more and longer waves. I also really enjoyed that they offer other activities on top of surfing. Surf-skating is something I would never have tried but really enjoyed even though I really did suck at it. Most of all the FOOD the food was amazing. Every meal kept getting better. While lunch and dinners were not included they are priced very well especially for the quality of everything that was given. The sushi night by far was my favourite, but everything else was also so good.

    Great surfing holidays! The house is amazing, super nicely decorated and full of small details that make it a wholesome experience. They keep it super clean, even in the big dorms (stayed in the 8ppl and it was super fine). The food is super yummy and healthy, and they are super easy to adapt to all the dietary restrictions. The surf itself was super super super good! Great and fun coaches that make the whole thing mega fun. Definitely would come back!

    Lovely location, the main town is about 30 minutes away and the views are scenic while you walk down. The surf lessons are great and the extra activities include are very nice. I will definitely be coming back some time soon!

    Absolutely amazing stay at Cliff! Coaches were great and the surf package was a perfect mix between surf lessons & fun activities/chill time The house itself was also great to stay in because of the staff, pool and cleaning service every single day. Lastly the food they organised was really great - don't miss out on the freshest sushi ever!

    Fantastic stay at Cliff Surf House all-round. Surfing coaches and volunteers are so welcoming. Started the week with no surfing experience and ended standing up on most waves, they tailor the coaching to your experience. Food was delicious and the house itself is beautiful. Wish we could’ve stayed longer. Muito Obrigado

    Best place to spend your surfcamp holiday for sure! Cliff Surf House is a great place to stay. Everyone there working and teaching is super nice and helpful. I unfortunateley broke my leg one week before arriving and couldn't surf. Anyways, it was possible to stay there, participate in all the activities and be part of the group for the week. I felt welcome and had a great week! 🌞💯

    Amazing surf house in which I was lucky to stay one week with my friends. The atmosphere is warm and makes it easy to meet new people and feel welcome, thanks to the amazing volunteers and the owners, without forgetting Charly. The best part is obviously the surf lessons, since the whole planning and atmosphere gravitate around it. All the coaches are very professional, even though Miguel stole the show and allowed us to progress significantly in less than a week.

    Fab stay at Cliff, the house is lovely and always kept extremely clean. The coaching was great and everyone received personal advice. Lunches and dinners aren't included but are reasonably priced and optional.

    A fantastic place to relax, meet new people and of course to learn and improve your surfing. The house is beautiful and tranquil, there is always something to do if you want to. The staff is super friendly and helpful. An all around 10/10 experience.

    I had the pleasure of staying at the CLIFF surfhouse in Santa Cruz for a fantastic 7-day getaway, and let me just say, it exceeded all my expectations! From the moment I arrived until the day I left, the experience was nothing short of exceptional. The surfhouse's slogan, "come as a guest, leave as a friend," truly encapsulates the warm and inviting atmosphere that permeates this establishment. The staff and owners were incredibly friendly and made sure every guest felt like a part of their extended family. First and foremost, the food deserves a special mention. The meals served were not only delicious but also made with utmost care and attention to detail. I was delighted to indulge in a variety of mouthwatering dishes that satisfied both my taste buds and my hunger. The staff were attentive to dietary restrictions and went out of their way to ensure everyone's needs were met. The rooms were comfortable and well-maintained, providing a perfect haven to relax and unwind after a day out on the waves. It was evident that the staff took pride in ensuring cleanliness and comfort, making my stay all the more delightful. The facilities at the surfhouse were top-notch. From the well-equipped surf equipment to the communal areas, everything was designed with the guests' needs in mind. The common spaces, such as the lounge area and outdoor terrace, provided ideal spaces to socialize and connect with fellow guests. Additionally, the surfhouse also had facilities for those looking to unwind outside of the water, including a swimming pool and cozy corners to lounge in. The range of activities available was impressive, catering to both beginners and experienced surfers. The coaches were incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and professional. They tailored their instructions to different skill levels, ensuring everyone had a rewarding and enjoyable experience in the water. Whether you're a first-time surfer or a seasoned pro, the coaches will make sure you get the most out of your time on the surf. Last but not least, a heartfelt shoutout to the surfhouse owners. Their genuine passion for the sport and dedication to creating a welcoming community is truly inspiring. I can't wait to return to this surfhouse as soon as possible! With its warm hospitality, delicious food, comfortable rooms, excellent facilities, incredible activities, and amazing coaches and owners, this surfhouse is a gem that I simply cannot recommend enough. Just go. You will not be disappointed.

    We had such an awesome time at Cliff Surfhouse. If we could give 10 stars we would do it!! The surf lessons were great and we made so much progress in just one week! The vibes at the house were always cool. We loved the whole team working there. We will definitely come back. Thanks.

    Probably one of the best places I have ever been! The whole Crew is very friendly and caring. They spoil you at the House, they push you in the water and they motivate you at the beach. You can't do anything wrong when booking a stay and spend your time at Cliff. Looking forward to my next stay. It was a pleasure, thank you very much!

    We had an awesome week at the cliff surf house. The whole team was super kind, the House, Pool and the rooms are super nice (just got renovated) and the surf coaches did a great job teaching is. Also the side activities like the surf skate lesson and the dinners were fun, top! We had a super time and definitely we will come back!

    First guest at the new house, which is modern and really nice furnished. They have a big pool and even an own farm with a lot of fresh vegetables and fruits. Super friendly staff and top surfcoaches . I improved really a lot in just a few days of surfing. Always good and familiar vibes. Can definitely recommend! Thank you Stefan & Nina, Maya & Bruno!

    I didn't know what to expect when I came here the first time but surely wasn't what I found: people are the best here, super nice and available for whatever your concern may be, the house is very clean and very well furnished! The instructors were the best part, super cool and very patient with all of us! This was far behond everything I was expecting!

    Very nice camp with pool, amazing people and good vibes. It is located next to a in a little local town, so it’s lot touristy at all and you find some very good and cheap restaurants there. As there are not many other surfschools around the classes are super focused and you can practice without bumping into other surf-students the whole time.

  • 5/5 Elena D. 1 year ago on Google
    Had one of the best weeks at cliff surf house, I definitely met some friends for life! I traveled solo and it was so friendly and easy to meet people. The surf coaches and volunteers were amazing and I felt supported the whole time as it was my first time surfing. I will definitely be visiting again soon

    Great holidays in CLIFF! I absolutely enjoyed the service, the surfing, the food and the house itself. They cook homemade food with homegrown veggies and fruits - they look out for good quality ingredients for sure! The people became really friends after this one week of surfing and living there :) great house with comfortable interior, chilling area at the pool was amazing simply, clean and spacious rooms! the surfing lessons were extremely tied to every single persons level, the teachers take time to give individual feedback and bring your skill forward after only one week. I felt daily progression, which is simply amazing! If you like to learn/continue surfing, live in a house full of chilled and open-minded people, eat and drink good & local - then CLIFF is THE place for sure!

    It's a really nice camp - the pictures definitely keep what they promise. In addition, there is always extremely delicious food, super friendly people, good and motivating surf instructors and a relaxation that sets in from the first minute. This was definitely not my last time at the Cliff Surf House!

  • 5/5 Alex D. 1 year ago on Google
    Not much to add to all other 5 star comments - the vibes were immaculate during my week there. Made loads of friends, slept super well in comfortable beds, surfed with great coaches and left with a huge smile and a great tan. Can’t recommend enough, thanks to all the staff

    Amazing stay here!!! Nice people. Going with the flow. Everybody helping each other and just having a great time. Facts: clean rooms, tasty food, nice hangout area at pool and inside, skilled surf coaches. But in the end it is about the vibe and that was just outstanding. Come as a guest - leave as a family is truely lived !!!! Will come back !! Cheers chris

    Cliff surf house is the perfect destination for someone looking to surf but also hang with other travelers by the perfect pool. The rooms are stylish, the food is good and the people are laidback! Will definitely come back!

  • 5/5 Jeremy K. 1 year ago on Google
    Came to cliff surf house for a week of surfing in October. Was greeted warmly by the volunteers, I arrived early so my room wasn't ready but that's no problem when you can chill at the pool with a nice cocktail! 🍹 During the week there were surf lessons every day except the Saturday. We went out with the coaches who had great guidance and tips. And always turned the trip into a party. Rain or shine, we always had a good time. 🎉 I came as a solo traveler and met a lot of great people here, over the course of a week you can really bond. I was the only Dutch guy in a group of German speaking people but this was no problem at all. The only bad thing about going to Cliff surf house is that you will have to say goodbye in the end! ♥ Thanks to all the volunteers, the surf coaches (Cheers Alfonso) and Nina and Stefan for creating such an open, safe and fun place to go surfing. 🏄 I'll be back! 🤖

    This is a really nice place in Santa Cruz, an incredible Surf spot. I spent an awesome week at this beautiful house where we've been taken care of very well. Nice food, amazing surf instructors, international atmosphere, cool people and very kind and welcoming staff. I can only recommend this place for any surf afficionados, beginners or more experienced ones.
