UNFORGETTABLE STAY, THE BEST PLACE ON THE BEACH OF MANUEL ANTONIO - Although I did not have the experience of surfing with Glen and his team (due to my age😅) I want to leave a review as I was on their beach many days. Then my opinion is based on all the other services that provide how to rent sun loungers, umbrellas, parasailing, and also exclusive excursions that I was lucky enough to do with them to amazing places like (eco chontal falls). On the beach they provide you with the best service such as food and drinks working with Baldi's restaurant. They are always worried and watching you so that your day is perfect. Your hospitality and affection are above and beyond. For me it was fortunate to find such a lovely and professional partner and team. I’ve seen them every day give surf lessons and their great professionalism so that all the clients, children or adults finished the lessons delighted. There's no better place on the beach. I recommend you to 1000% spend your days with them. I'll definitely be back.

Surf Success - Glen is awesome. Not only was he flexible when our flight was canceled and we needed the morning to research new flights/car/airbnbs, but once we met him, he was great with my husband and son. I think the best part for me watching him from the shore, is how excited he actually got about their success. He enjoys what he does and you can see it in his smile. Both my husband and my son were able to surf. His wife was very friendly as well. The beach itself is super friendly for a beginner surfer. The meeting spot was easy to locate. They also has rentals of boards, and lounges, and more I want to say, since his wife had offered. Pura vida!

Supremely gracious hosts - We dealt with Glen Castro and his wife Angelina (and staff). Didn't partake in surfing lessons but they provided beach accommodations. I'm making a bold statement--these are some of the warmest and considerate folks I have EVER interacted with. Every need fulfilled and they went above and beyond to make our time on Manuel Antonio Beach a sublime pleasure. If you're reading this review you don't need to look anywhere else. Thanks so much for making our stay a tremendous success. We will be back for the beauty but also for the wonderful service. Thanks Glen and Angelina!

Wonderful Surf Lessons & Beach Day - We had the best time surfing and spending a day at the beach with Glen surfing. They treated my family like their own and made our beach days fun, relaxing and memorable. The price was a great value for what was offered. Access to beach chairs, shade for my daughter to play, boogie boards and an extensive food and drink menu from a nearby restaurant made the whole experience a favorite part of our visit to Costa Rica. I had a surf instruction with Isaac, and he was kind, patient and great at taking care of things, especially considering it was my first time attempting to surf. Would highly recommend this to any and everyone visiting Manuel Antonio!

Highly recommend - There isn’t a pickup- Glenn’s Surf School is on the beach right next to the “pickup” spot. Excellent instructor and super friendly staff. Glenn’s wife(La Jefa) was great. Shared fruit, water and were super fun! Surfing was more physical than I expected, but then I’m viejo “
