I had an incredible experience at Nicawaves, which is a fantastic surf camp with great amenities. The rooms were spacious and well-kept, and the overall atmosphere was warm and welcoming. The dining options blew me away, with delicious food that didn’t upset my stomach at all. While the distance from the beach means a bit of a walk, the beautiful surroundings made up for it. Overall, Nicawaves is definitely worth considering for your next surf trip!

Nicawaves is an incredible surf camp that truly exceeded our expectations! From the luxurious ambiance to the impeccable service, it all felt like a slice of paradise. The food was seriously delicious, and we never had any stomach issues, which was a bonus! We did have to walk a little to reach the main beach, but it was totally worth it for such a serene experience.

I had an amazing time at NicaWaves, where the atmosphere was perfect for surfing and relaxation. The property has a fantastic pool and bar area, and my room was comfortable and met my expectations. The staff were incredibly helpful, providing excellent service throughout my stay. One downside is the hotel's distance from the beach, requiring a short walk or lift to get there. Overall, the value for money was good, especially considering the all-inclusive surf package offered.
