Puro Surf Performance Academy

A very strong storm blew through and knocked out power to the resort. The resort restored power to the restaurant’s kitchen. The staff went from room to room taking orders and delivering food in the pouring rain. I could tell they did it with pure service in their hearts. This was a nice clean resort and the food was excellent. I would definitely go back.

I booked the 7-night surf camp for myself and my husband. I have been surfing on and off for one year but my husband is completely new to surfing. Prior to arrival, we did a questionnaire that included very detailed questions about our experience, comfort level, and goals for the camp. The entire experience was even better than I had imagined. Our incredible coaches Mauricio and Yannis took really great care of us. Each morning we would meet and talk about things to work on before heading out to the beach. For the first 5 days, we were surfing whitewater waves and built our skills little by little. The progression works surprisingly well. It was impressive to see my husband standing up and turning just after 5 days of training! On the last day, we surfed green waves and on that day we had 3 coaches just for the two of us. It was the best day of surfing for both of us. Before getting into the water, we practiced doing a venue analysis and went over all of the things we should be aware of/check out when going to a new location. The environment was so safe and fun! After each surf session, the coaches would go over our videos and they never miss a single detail. This really helped us progress so quickly. Our videographer, Gaston, took so many videos of us every single day for the analysis. There were also a ton of other fun activities embedded in the surf camp, such as skating, BJJ, yoga, ginastica natural. I loved that we were so immersed in the surfing mindset for the entire day every day. The hotel itself was a great place to relax. We were right over the beach and falling asleep to the sounds of waves each night was magical! I would definitely recommend both the surf camp and the hotel. Can't wait to return!!

We had the most amazing stay at this incredible resort. Roberto and all the other staff were so friendly and accommodating going above and beyond to make our stay pleasant. Was very hard to leave this paradise

My wife and I stayed at Puro for one week in March 2022. I have surfing experience and wanted a technical foundation so I did 7 day Surf Camp. My wife did the Yoga Package and we included all meals. Everything was perfect! The hotel is in a magical location, perched above El Zonte with a view of the surf break and with easy walking access to town or the main beach. The rooms are spacious, clean, and designed for a beach vacation. All our meals were in Covana and we enjoyed every single one. The atmosphere, combined with fresh ingredients, friendly staff, and a wide variety of options was just what we wanted. The main draw of the trip was the options perfectly suited for any type of traveler. Families can hang out by the pool/beach, take surf lessons, and roam the grounds safely. Yoga and gym classes are for everyone. However, the Surf Academy is best in the hemisphere! The program is built to connect your mind, body, and skills from the ground up. The coaches are superb, with gym sessions, surf sessions, and video analysis to support every detail of your progress. I went from a beginner to the big waves in just four days! The staff is attentive to all needs, scheduling, and the entire process was easy. We will be back next year!

Disappointing. Transfers and covid test triple normal prices. Modified my reservation and even though they resold the room they only gave credit (not even available in the restaurant) which is obviously useless when I live 5000km away. Beautiful spot but stay somewhere else for much less with more flexible locals.
