Miramar Surfcamp

Context: This was my second time visiting Miramar. First time in 2018 was great Pros: - Easy early morning boat trips to some pretty fun, uncrowded waves - Food and drinks are great - Accommodations were very nice and comfortable - All staff were very friendly and accommodating, going out of their way to support - Transportation to and from the airport was easy Cons: - We, unfortunately, hit it on an off-year when Puerto Sandino wasn't working - The jetty which was built on the other side of the beach seems to have more of less decimated punta Miramar. It did however make the center beach beach-break punchier and bigger. - Although I wasn't there at the time, a few others in our group felt that the camp was giving wave recommendation priority to friends over us, even as repeat customers - There was a lot of nickel and diming, despite having gone for the fully inclusive package. Additionally, perks such as 3 free drinks daily and a t-shirt were no longer included. All inclusive = accommodation, meals, 1 juice with a meal, airport transport, 1 boat trip daily which is all good, just need to be more upfront about it. The end result here is that during our stay and while checking out, there were multiple ＞10 overcharge issues with our bill which we felt crossed the line from an honest mistake. Note: The camp was still great, but seems to be growing at a pace beyond what they're able to efficiently sort out. An example is this is that it was reported (unconfirmed) that the online booking system + person responding to emails was in Panama and the staff at the site had lots of miscommunications. The end result is everyone is victimized: 1) staff rely only on what their system says and are caught in the middle, 2) guests are frustrated that their communication seemed to disappear, and 3) the camp isn't able to fully provide the experience they, I assume, hope to.

My Fiance and I traveled here at the end of April and had a wonderful experience. We had never stayed at a surf camp before and this was an amazing first-time experience. Kyle and the owners really have this place dialed with all of the amenities you could want while still maintaining a laid back atmosphere. My fiance is a beginner and she did lessons with Amir all week and couldn't speak more highly of her experience. As an intermediate surfer, I went out on the boat a few times but also surfed out front a lot and got my fill of waves. This is a great family-friendly resort to come to surf and relax. Food was awesome! The staff were extremely friendly and professional - I couldn't speak more highly of this operation.

One of the best weeks of my life! Fantastic service and true professionals at what they do. Everyone on the staff was so kind and accommodating. Great food, great waves, cold cervezas. If you are looking to score some waves and hang with cool people in Nicaragua, this is the place to be. Toña time!

Have been here twice over the past two years and have always had an incredible time staying here with Miramar. There are a few camps around, but nothing compares to the Food, fun communal atmosphere and vibe of this place. They provide yoga in between long surf seshes to keep your body injury free, a really fun surf slide show every night with the talented photographers who capture your best waves all day, and most notably a killer staff who are pumped to see you every time and bring tons of awesome stroke/ energy for your stay. I try to visit twice a year regularly. Cheers!
