From the minute Haudy welcomed me at the door I was made to feel a part of the family with the words "drop off your bags, kick off your shoes and come join us by the pool". I felt immediately welcome. As I was traveling alone I hoped I would discover a place with like minded people with whom I... More

I had such a wonderul time at swell! Learned how to surf, ate well and had a fantastic experience. Howdy, Lourdes and Ash were great! I recommend swell to solo travelers or groups of friends. Guaranteed great time.

This was my first time at a Surf camp, and Swell surf camp made it a terrific experience. Clare was very quick to respond to any questions I had about the camp. I stayed for 7 days at the camp, and the combination of the surf instruction, the meals prepared, and the accommodation made it an amazing week. The camp... More

First time in a B&B, and to be honest I was a little worried. But I LOVED IT!.. I love DR, I loved the surfing but honestly It was the staff that was amazing. I don't think i would have enjoyed my time if the staff wasn't great. They were chilling, partying and laughing with us even on their free... More

Just got back after a 7 day stay at Swell Surf Camp where we had a blast! Waking up and hitting the waves changes your outlook on the rest of the day, and life. Great place to learn to surf, or refine your skills. Can't wait to go back! The instructors were great! Ash, James, Joel, Neno, and everyone else... More

I wasn't sure it could be true, but Swell is just as amazing as the website and reviews make it out to be. The accommodations are clean and comfortable (I stayed in a dorm room), and the set up of the space means that after a morning of surfing, you can easily spend the afternoon lounging in the pool, napping...

Swell surf camp and it's staff are everything they say it is on their site. I had never surfed before and the instructors always had an encouraging word with the proper corrections to your technique. They had me catching white water waves and wanting more. Others in my group were more advanced and to hear how much the instructors helped... More

I visited Swell on my own a few weeks ago, but within the first few hours I had a table full of friends. That is truly the only way to describe Swell and the atmosphere at the camp. You walk into Swell off a dusty Dominican road and are transported into a little haven. A pool, hangout area and open... More

Have been here twice now (September 2012 and April 2013). Well set up surf camp- pool, lounge area, pool table/ping pong, etc. The included meals are amazing. I never eat seafood but I cleaned the plate even when fish was prepared, it was that good. The staff are extremely helpful and attentive. Rooms are comfortable and very clean. I was... More
