When it comes to planning a surf vacation, travelers have two primary options: opt for a surf holiday package or choose individual services, otherwise known as “a la carte”. As a renowned Costa Rica surf camp all-inclusive destination, Iguana Surf offers comprehensive packages that include transportation, lodging, breakfast, surf lessons, board rentals, rash guards, and surf trips. Whether you want the classic dorm room surf camp stay or an upgraded private room stay, Iguana Surf Camp gives you options for surf holiday packages that will simplify your vacay and won’t break the bank.
Benefits of Choosing Surf Holiday Packages VS a la Carte
Convenience and Time-Saving
Choosing a surf holiday package at Iguana Surf is not only convenient but a time-saving way to spend your vacation. With a single booking, you can secure all of the essentials of your surf holiday such as accommodations, transportation, lessons, etc. Instead of spending countless hours researching and arranging separate services, you can trust the expertise of the Iguana Surf team to organize a seamless vacation experience, including add-ons like trips to see a volcano or even Spanish lessons. This allows you to focus on what matters most – catching the perfect wave.
Cost Savings
One of the top advantages of opting for an all-inclusive surf camp in Costa Rica is the cost savings it offers. Iguana Surf bundles services together, resulting in more competitive pricing than purchasing each service individually. By taking advantage of package deals, you can use your budget more effectively and even have extra money to explore additional tours or dine out at a fancy oceanside restaurant.
All you have to decide is which type of experience you want to have – dorm room or private room stay.
Dorm Room VS Private Room Stay
Dorm Room Stay
Money-saving Option: One of the main reasons you may choose a dorm room stay at Iguana Surf is the money-saving benefits. Our dorm room accommodates eight guests, sharing the room and two full bathrooms. The cost per person in a dorm room is much lower than booking a private room, making it a great choice for budget-conscious surfers or those looking to maximize their travel funds for other experiences.
Social Aspect: Staying in a dorm room means more interaction with other guests. Sharing a space with surfers from around the world will foster a sense of camaraderie, making it easier to make new friends. The social aspect of a dorm room stay will add to your overall experience, leading to shared surf sessions, group outings and tours, and the chance to exchange surfing tips.
Embrace the Backpacker Vibe: For travelers seeking that authentic backpacker experience, dorm rooms truly embody the adventurous spirit of surf travel. The communal living atmosphere allows you to immerse yourself in the surf culture, share stories, and build lasting friendships.
Private Room Stay
Privacy and Comfort: If you prioritize personal space, a private room stay at Iguana Surf is the best choice for you. Private rooms offer a quiet retreat after a day of surfing so you can recharge in your own space. This level of comfort and privacy is especially appealing to couples, families, or individuals who prefer a little solitude and relaxation over socialization.
Uninterrupted Sleep: In a private room, you can enjoy undisturbed sleep. Surfing is a physically demanding sport! Having a peaceful place to unwind allows you to tackle the waves with renewed energy each day. A private room stay guarantees a good night’s sleep, because you don’t have to deal with other people’s schedules.
Personalized Experience: A private room stay offers some flexibility you may not get in a shared room. You can make your own schedule without considering the preferences or routines of other roommates. This personalized experience means you can fully immerse yourself in your own surf adventure, whether it involves exploring nearby breaks or laying on the beach.
