La seguridad 0 y en un temblor la instalaciones no son seguras y mucha suciedad
Pros:

Solo lo único que me gusto fue la comida

Cons:

El cuarto pesimo, la piscina sucia, un gato se metio a mi habitacion y no podia sacarlo, el viento botaba todo porque no había nada cerrado porque era solo cortinas, entrada basura demasiado, y las paredes estaban agreteadas y la manera floja en un temblor moriria

Slecht onderhouden park, accommodatie niet waterdicht
Pros:

Leuk team, goede surf instructeurs. Lekker ontbijt.

Cons:

Huisjes zijn NIET waterdicht. Ons bed iedere dag moeten verschonen omdat deze of nat was, of omdat er weer allemaal viezigheid op lag van het plafond. Rieten daken worden niet goed onderhouden, vallen beestjes uit op je bed. Kamers zijn heel vochtig. Zeer onhygiënisch en vervelend dat continue al je kleding vochtig is en dus vies ruikt..

Kleding laten wassen in het hotel voor $10, was opeens $15 dollar toen ik de kleding kwam ophalen. Wasserette was de moeder van een van de medewerkers… Was kwam stinkend terug, met roestplekken en witte was helemaal verkleurd. Breng je kleding naar de wasserette in het stadje!!

Check je rekening goed bij uitchecken..

Pros:

Het is bijzonder om te verblijven op een locatie als deze. Onvergetelijk. Nadeel is, we waren er tijdens het regenseizoen, dat alles vochtig is en blijft. Maar dat mag de pret niet drukken. Personeel is vriendelijk, spreken Engels, en handelen adequaat wanneer er iets aan de hand is.

Overall delightful! A staple of San Juan
Pros:

Super friendly staff; kitchen is top notch; activity schedule is rich and well organized

Cons:

Facilities could use some improvement: rusty and creaking ceiling fan; shower clogs; only two shared showers (tough in high season); WiFi not amazing; no fans in common areas.

Meals delicious but a bit small.

Packages don’t include surf guiding only lessons geared for beginners (including limited selection of intermediate level boards)

Loud animal noises at night

Pros:

Das Camp ist sehr süss eingerichtet, das Essen ist mega!!! jeden Tag was anderes und immer einen 3gänger! Alle Surflehrer sind sehr nett und Hilfsbereit. Arbeiter im Camp auch immer freundlich:)

Cons:

Da es als ein Surfcamp angeschrieben ist, finde ich es schade, dass man nur 1h 30min am Tag im Wasser ist und keine grosse Möglichkeiten hat, nochmals alleine an den Strand zu gehen/ wird kein Shuttle angeboten..

Do not recommend at all dream turned into a nightmare
Pros:

The people travelling you get to meet

Cons:

- Staff not there to check us in at 4pm
- Room doesn’t have a sufficient fan
- Frogs and chickens and other critters are so loud at night you can’t sleep
- Multiple other guests got injured during supervised activities property did not make us sign an activity waiver. Resort left these guests to fend for themselves.
- 8 guests myself included got food poisoning from property restaurants and when brought to the attention of resort staff it was brushed off
- Scheduled air port transport and through some miscommunication transport was not going to show up had to scramble to find own transportation
- Shared bathrooms showers don’t drain properly, same damp gross hand towel for days, for everyone to dry their hands off
- everything is extra unless you buy a weekly package including shuttles into San Juan and to the beach for surf outings.
- Surf equipment is in desperate need of replacement or repair. Foam boards had no grip and were peeling

Superb
Pros:

I did a full week surf camp and loved it, so extended my stay with 1 day. The surf classes are amazing and the food is absolutely delicious (they cater to vegetarians and vegans as well). The pool is fun and cleaned regularly. The facilities are OK.

Cons:

The mattresses are a bit banana

It was perfect :)
Pros:

Had an incredible time at Dreamsea! The staff were super friendly and helpful. The food was delicious, and I loved the whole surf camp concept and social vibe as a solo traveler. Highly recommend and wished they had more availability to stay longer!
