Il vous accompagne lors de vos promenades sur la plage et vous accueille à votre arrivée. Très amical et tranquille, il rend le lieu encore plus chaleureux, comme à la maison.
Free-diving Course - Gustavo is the best! He is a world-class freediver and instructor. This review speaks to the stand-alone two day free-diving breath course that he offers. Half of the course was... Read More completed at Perfect Sunset, and half at an off-site lap pool. I took the course as someone who has been drawn to swimming, surfing, breath work, and the ocean a bit later in life. I had hoped to come away from the course with a better understanding of the physiology of breathing and greater comfort in the water. The course 100% delivered. Gustavo has absolute command of his topic, as well as a patience and even-keel temperament, perfectly suiting him for his profession. The course was worth every cent. I imagine that I will take the lessons learned and apply them in and out of water for the rest of my life. The experience was in two words, “a cachete” 🙂
A special place in the jungle with amazing vibes and people - Connect to nature and meet lovely people from allover the world. Not a party place. Instructors impressively attentive to individual needs and adjust difficulty accordingly. Improved in both spanish and... Read More surfing way more than expected.
A truly Pura Vida experience - Had the best days at Perfect Sunset School!
First of all, I really believe that the people make the place. And the staff here is simply amazing, Edgar... Read More was so welcoming and helped us through everything that we need. The girls from the kitchen and cleaning also very helpful and friendly.
We had a long trip with my friend Cecilia and we couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay on our first stop in Costa Rica.
The rooms are very clean and comfortable, with ac and a private bathroom. We also had an amazing view to the jungle and sea. The location is awesome, the environment is very peaceful and a short distance from Santa Teresa. It’s really amazing being just a few steps from the ocean.
The breakfast and dinner are very good too. I simply loved it!
They also offer surf classes and Spanish classes almost everyday. Which creates a community environment and you can really enjoy it as a group with the other guests.
Hope to visit Perfect Sunset School again soon. A truly magical place!

Wonderful - My son spent three weeks at Perfect Sunset and had a great time. The food was wonderful and Edgar went above and beyond to make his stay memorable. He did... Read More the Spanish program and surfed the area. The Spanish program was great and made the learning fun. Highly recommend!
Do yourself a favor and GO!! - Perfect Sunset School was a wonderful place to slow down, expand your mind, and enjoy the present moment. Waking up to the distant ocean waves and drinking delicious coffee... Read More was one of the highlights of my trip. This school offers excellent lessons in Spanish, Surf, and Yoga. If you are a Yogi, you will absolutely love the beautiful scenic deck where the classes take place. Spanish lessons were very informative, and it was helpful to get practice in while going into town. The food, made by an absolute angel named Sonia, was delicious. Come here with an open mind, ready to experience adventure, nature, and pura vida. Also, please be sure to respect the land you are visiting. It is truly a special place.
Inmersión Costarricense: Surf, Saborea, Explora - I had an incredible experience at the Perfect Sunset immersion camp. The food was absolutely delicious. The energy from both the ticos and fellow travelers was infectious. The surfing was... Read More beyond epic, offering a magical and inspirational adventure. Be ready to get dirty and fully embrace the jungle life. I highly recommend renting a 4x4 ATV from Santa Teresa Xtreme Sports Rentals to explore the breathtaking nature around. This place is perfect for educating yourself, exploring nature, and expanding your energy in the jungle. Pura vida!
Best experience! - Just got back from a one week stay at this school and it was wonderful! I am a 55 year old Spanish teacher who wanted to brush up on... Read More my Spanish skills and this was exactly what I was looking for. I took my 25 year old cousin with me, not a Spanish speaker, and she also enjoyed her Spanish classes. If you are young or old (there was a family there with an 8 year old) and want to learn or improve your Spanish, this is the place to be. The surroundings are beautiful, food delicious, and the people sincere in their efforts to help you with Spanish. Would definitely recommend if you are looking for somewhere to study Spanish!
A Special Place - The Perfect Sunset does have perfect sunset. This place is awesome solo or with friends. I went with friends and took joy in meeting the people who came alone during... Read More our family style, freshly made, breakfast and dinner. It was also very cool to witness people making long lasting friendships with each other. Surfing is a must. Juan and Mel will get you hanging ten in no time. I made huge leaps in Spanish and will always cherish this experience .
Awesome place, great surf and yoga instructors and super hospitable team
Excelente lugar, Servicio amable y cordial
Jeg bodde på Perfect Sunset sammen med fire venner i en uke. Vi hadde det fantastisk og følte oss godt tatt vare på av de ansatte. Vi hadde surfing og... Read More spansk, og instruktørene og lærene var veldig flinke. Perfect sunset school ligger rett ved stranden i vakre omgivelser. Maten var god og skolen tilbyr mange utflukter som anbefales å dra på. Veldig fornøyd med oppholdet og anbefaler alle som vil til Santa Teresa og bo her.
Great place to stay! Small surf camp that offers some family vibes. I stayed there for ten days whit a friend. The accomodation is amazing, all lost in the jungle,... Read More you'll spot a bunch of animal without even moving. Plenty of space for stretching, relaxing in teh refreshing pool.. The ocean is just accros the street. You'll find some awesome tide pool to snorkle or just swimm around. It's a perfect spot to watch sunset. The beach break is a bit further (15 minutes walk) but the walk on the beach is nice and Risa and Whity (the two dogs) will gladely keep you compagny. The food is delicious and there is plenty enough to fill you after a big day of surfing and exploring. Juan, one of the surf teacher is fun and laid back. He'll make jokes while keeping you safe in the water. He is patient and will teach you trick to improve rappidly your surfing. Pipi the other surf teacher is like a gentle giant. He's sweet and really car about you having a good time in the wate and reaching your goals, he's ready to spend the time with you and correct your surfing if necessary.
One of the best vacations I ever had 1. Family atmosphere and super friendly stuff When me and my friend arrived to the campus , not only campus stuff were... Read More friendly, but also guests started to introduce them self right away, smiling, being welcoming. We knew right away that we gonna feel very comfortable here 2. Great location We surfed with instructors 1 time a day, but if we wanted to surf more we easily were able to take the board from the campus and walk to the beach. 3. Delicious food. There is private chef onside who cooks delicious breakfasts and dinners! 4. Rooms are comfourastble and clean Me and my friend rented private room for 2 of us - it was super convenient, because we had our own space + hammock + additional shower outside. 5. Classes Any class you booked is well organized and instructors are very educated and friendly. I took surf, yoga and Spanish. Loved each one. My friend took free diving and she said it is super helpful knowledge even for surfing. 6. Great communication While booking the camp Gustavo replied and answered all the questions right away. Everything was super clear. I highly recommend visiting this camp, and already thinking of going back!
Die Möglichkeiten für das tägliche Programm sind vielfältig (Surfen, Spanisch, Yoga, Freediving), ich habe mich für Surfen und Spanisch entschieden. Beides fand in kleinen Gruppen bis zu maximal 3 Personen... Read More statt, perfekte Bedingungen! Das Camp ist ausserhalb von Santa Teresa im Grünen (Jungel), was auch Erholung bedeutet. Trotzdem kannst du easy ins Zentrum von Santa Teresa. Gustavo, der Besitzer, hat uns super Tipps gegeben und war stets bei Fragen da.
Outstanding freediving survival class for surfers If you even remotely thought about doing any kind of freediving classes this one is not to miss!! Gustavo is an absolutely amazing... Read More instructor with the patience and the ability to create a progression that leads you step-by-step to creating a total proficiency in such a short amount of time where you feel confident and competent. If you need freediving training from beginner to expert or even get your certification this is the school for you I loved it will totally be back! 5 stars!!!
You'll love it here! Opted for a private room, dabbled in Spanish and surfing. Our stay was simply amazing! Kudos to the stellar staff—Edgar & Cathy were incredibly helpful, room... Read More stayed spotless, and the food was superb. Our surfing instructors and Spanish teacher were exceptional. The school's location between Santa Teresa and Playa Hermosa is just right. Easy access without the hustle. Wildlife, tide pools, and sunset views await. The vibe is relaxed, the people are great. A genuinely fantastic time! Hope your experience matches ours. Pura Vida!
Sicherlich einer der schönsten Flecken auf der Welt.
