My experience at Chica Brava was life-changing. I stayed at the Surf House in San Juan del Sur. Within a week, I was standing on the board and riding the waves at Hermosa! Wonderful. The surf house is safe, comfortable, and air-conditioned! Our housekeeper made wonderful breakfasts, especially the fresh-made juice every morning. Noelani and Elsie were fantastic teachers, and...

I had stayed at the Chica Brava surf house over a year ago. This was and still one the best experiences I ever had. I still think about the beautiful beaches, so clean and lightly traveled. I've tried surfing several of time, but never really got it. That was until I came to this surf camp. My instructors were hands... More

I can honestly say that my week at chica brava was one of the best experiences of my life. I went with one of my really close friends and it was a great way for us to bond and make new memories together. We stayed at the surf house which was extremely cozy and comfortable. I went with absolutely no... More

I have been to Chica Brava 3x now and will go again (sooner than later, I hope!).Took my almost 16 year old daughter for her Sweet16 and had a wonderful week of girl time!! The instructors were great an helped pinpoint areas for us to improve our surfing. The Surf house is great and allows access to town and great... More

I was disappointed in my experience at Chicabrava's Surf House. Perhaps Nicaragua standards are different than US standards, but I'm guessing that none of their guests are from 3rd world countries & do have certain standards in mind. I'm not a neat freak & am OK with only staying in 2 star hotels, so I don't think my expectations were... More

My best friend and I loved our experience all around. The town, the surf house, the staff, the instruction...the beaches! Our instructors, Candace and Shelby, were so much fun. Not only did they instruct us in the water but they were very helpful when we booked other excursions, and would go eat with us at night if we asked them... More

I spent a week at Chicabrava in mid January and had such an amazing experience. It was exactly the kind of trip I needed; I came home feeling rejuvenated in mind, body and soul! I went with an old friend so really enjoyed spending time with her, but also had the best time getting to know the five other ladies... More

We (two of us) attended Chika Brava in early February 2013 and were both exceptionally disappointed by the experience. We WOULD NOT recommend this camp to anyone. Our room at the Surf House was not clean, had a broken fan, missing light bulbs, no hot water and was exceptionally noisy (they tell you to bring ear plugs if you're a... More

I am the mother of Sarah Proffitt, who recently had my first grandchild. Sarah was an instructor there and Ashley so graciously rented me a room for a couple of months. The clientele that has been through the surf camp have been amazing and my time here has been ever so wonderful. I have made many new friends from all... More
