Minutes away from the small town of El Coco, you will be sure to enjoy the local culture. This is a very safe fishing community, far away from the hazards of the city, with a small town and very friendly vibe. They encourage you to walk to the local bars to have a Pilser or take a bike ride and see what you discover.

The Surf

LOS FLORES
Very consistent right point break. It is a sand point 7 minutes from the hotel that breaks mechanically with a hollow takeoff at low tide (softer at high tide) and very long rides up to 300m.
The wave has many personalities depending on the swell size and tide. On swells of 6-8ft (faces) or bigger and lower tides it is a serious wave for experienced surfers (it has been compared to Jeffrey's Bay and Bells), and the takeoff is critical as well as competitive, with surfers lining up and dropping in behind the rocks, and a fall here has consequences. On small to moderate swells (3-5 ft faces), or fuller tides, Las Flores is a classic sand point break, super fun on a shortboard, fish, or longboard, with long open faces and wackable wall sections comparable to a good day at Rincon or Noosa. The break can shut down almost entirely at high tide if there is not much swell, but on the biggest of swells the high tide is more manageable.

This point is great for all levels of surfers. At high tide it is a great long ride perfect for beginners...

PUNTA MANGO
15 min. West of Las Flores. Access by boat only. Powerful right cobblestone point break w/200m rides when on, machine-like. It has a hollow take off with a serious barrel at size AND a hollow inside section. It works on a 3ft+ swell and all tides, but 4-7 ft SW is best. Closes out over 8 feet. Reef booties are recommended but not mandatory. The hollowest wave in the region, but also the most wind sensitive. For experienced surfers only even when small, due to currents and shallow inside rocks.

BEACH BREAK
There is a nice beach break right in front of the hotel. It breaks left and right depending on swell direction. Conditions are often great in the morning at this spot.

LA VACA
Right around the point of Las Flores, La Vaca works best at mid tide with a larger swell. It's perfect for those that like to do airs, a little faster than Las Flores and a spot where you can surf alone with your friends.

EL TORO
Another great surf spot minutes away from the hotel, it also works best with larger swells and at mid tide.

LA VENTANA
A great beach break where they do most of the work with the kids. It is best at high tide and when the smaller swells come through. Fast and lots of fun.

BONGO
Closer to Punta Mango, it is accessible only by boat. It works well with a larger swell, but isn't as long of a ride as Punta Mango.
