Our Surf Camp and Hotel in Mal Pais
Founded in 1990 the Surf Camp is one of the first hotels built in the area. From the early days through today the Mal Pais Surf Camp is a popular hangout for the local and visiting surf scene with all the good vibes of surf culture. The Mal Pais Surf Camp is a friendly hotel for single travelers, families, couples and groups of friends on a surf vacation in Costa Rica. We also offer long term rental rates for those who would like to stick around a little longer.While most hotels in Santa Teresa are on small lots in a busy neighborhood, the Surf Camp enjoys a quiet location on 5 acres of tropical landscaped gardens, backed by the lush jungle of Mal Pais. In the breezy garden you can relax in hammocks under palm trees or by the pool with a tropical cocktail. Monkeys, parrots, and many other birds and wildlife make their way through the canopy of trees on a daily basis and iguanas can be spotted enjoying the lush gardens around the pool.
