My experience at Dreamsea was a mix of highs and lows. The stunning natural surroundings really made an impression, and I loved the diverse activities available. However, I did find some flaws in the accommodation and the organization of certain activities which detracted from the overall experience. The food was delicious, and the instructors were fantastic, but a few conveniences could use improvement.

While the camp had some nice amenities and a lovely pool, it often needed tidying up and wasn't fully operational at times.

I had a fantastic time at this surf camp! The surf coaches were incredibly experienced and attentive, helping me improve my skills on the waves. The location was perfect, set in a beautiful jungle area, though we did face a few power outages. Meals were really good and catered to my allergies, but the scheduling could use some improvement to avoid feeling rushed between activities.

My overall experience at the resort was quite mixed. On one hand, I really appreciated the fantastic surf instructors who made learning enjoyable and helped boost my confidence. The food was also a pleasant surprise, catering well to my allergies. However, the dorms left much to be desired, with cleanliness issues and a lack of proper upkeep. The scheduling felt chaotic at times, making it hard to fully enjoy the experience. All in all, while the coaching and food were highlights, the accommodations and management could use significant improvements.

My stay at Dreamsea was quite a mixed bag. The surf instructors were outstanding and really helped me develop my skills, though the social schedule felt rushed and disorganized at times. The facilities could certainly use more attention, especially when it comes to cleanliness and upkeep. The food was a highlight, but the accommodations left a bit to be desired, particularly regarding room conditions.

The complex itself looked nice, but the pool area was not well-maintained with trash often floating around. Some basic improvements would be beneficial.
