Costa Rica Surf Packages
Accommodations
The Surf Diva Costa Rica Adventure is tucked away in the heart of the jungle. For your week at camp, we offer three different types of accommodations to please all of our surfers.
ONE STARFISH
Our One Starfish accommodation is a small Costa Rican hotel centrally located between the white sandy beach and the local shops, so it is the perfect place to set up your home base.
The One Starfish property is surrounded by palm trees and it is not uncommon for hotel guests to hear Howler Monkeys or see iguanas, flying squirrels and tropical birds. You will find this spot the perfect combination of home comforts and the traditional Tico feel. The hotel is a series of rustic bungalows surrounding a small pool. The rooms are simple, yet clean. All rooms have recently been renovated and feature air-conditioning, refrigerators, coffee makers, pool-facing patios and pillow top mattresses. Also located at the pool side is a full service restaurant and bar with fantastic breakfast, lunch, and dinner menus. Peaceful and relaxing by day, the hotel becomes livelier in the evenings with occasional live music. The staff is very accommodating to any dietary needs and embodies the welcoming culture that Costa Rica is known for.
In keeping with the tranquil environment, there are no televisions or phones in the rooms. The bar area has Direct TV and a phone where you can make international calls with a phone card.
The One Starfish package is perfect for any diva who wants a basic room near the surf!
“Great surfer hotel! I felt comfortable walking in with my sandy feet, but it was well kept and clean. Also, loved the fridge and clothesline. Perfect amenities for this kind of trip.”
-Jennifer, January '08
TWO STARFISH
The Two Starfish accommodation is a bigger hotel set in dense tropical gardens about three minutes from the beach. The property has been recently remodeled and all rooms are spacious, clean, and simple. Each room has a coffee maker, fridge, A/C, ceiling fan, and porch. The rooms even have wooden blinds that allow the fresh air to flow throughout. There are no TV’s or phones in the room so you can kick back and relax to the sounds and sights of the surrounding jungle. There are two pools, a swim up bar, restaurant, and on site gift shop. The pool bar is the perfect place to enjoy a smoothie and hang out with friends after a day in the surf. The restaurant serves breakfast, lunch and appetizers and is surrounded by the scenic gardens. The staff at our Two Starfish accommodation is also quite friendly and pleasant. Best of all, it is just minutes from the surf, making it a great place to rest your surfboard and your head!
“The hotel was better than expected. Staff was very pleasant. Pools were nice. Proximity to the beach was key.”
Angie, July ‘07
THREE STARFISH
The Three Starfish property is the most luxurious of the three accommodations. Each of the 24 rooms is located along a pathway, which meanders through a garden setting. The rooms are large and comfortable with king size beds and private patios with hammocks – who could ask for more? Inside the room, you will find a mini refrigerator, air conditioning, ceiling fan and coffee maker. The rooms even come equipped with laptop safety boxes and wi-fi service for those Divas who need to get in their nightly online shopping or email the latest surf shots to family and friends.
The hotel is centered around a large, picturesque pool and lounge area, so you won’t forget to take that afternoon dip. After a poolside nap, Divas can head over to the full service spa or on site yoga studio.
Even better, this property is a completely green hotel, so you can enjoy all of these luxuries guilt-free. Everything used at the hotel is bio-degradable and recyclable, right down to the shampoo and conditioner. The stylish open-air restaurant and bar serves delicious organic food including locally grown fruit and vegetables and fish straight from the ocean. The smaller cafeteria serves vegetarian tapas, juices, and herbal teas. There is also a small bookstore selling organic and all natural items-even sunblock (perfect for our Surf Divas)!.
“Loved the staff and the grounds. The bed was soooo comfortable and the outdoor shower was great after the afternoon session.” Jennifer July '08

One Starfish:
Becky, our budget traveler, is fine with a simple room. As long as it's clean and she can roll out of bed for a dip in the pool and a jog on the beach before surf lessons she is happy. She's more concerned with the surf than with 300 count Egyptian cotton sheets. Her mission is to have fun, catch lots of waves and meet some cool people, so the 1 STARFISH package is perfect for her needs. Accommodations in the small, rustic motel are perfect for travelers like Becky. It is just a five minute walk from the beach, has clean and basic rooms, A/C, ceiling fans, and fridges. The motel itself has a small, quiet pool area , outdoor bar, and restaurant. There are no phones or TV's in the room, but there is a large-screen TV in the restaurant. This is a cute spot, perfect for those seeking a laid-back surfer atmosphere that's away from it all.
