"Loved my stay at Swell. Staff and the other guests were soo friendly, made me feel at home the moment I stepped into the large communal area. Surf Instructors were super helpful. I will be booking my return to Swell soon!"
"What an awesome place. I look forward to going back. Everyone was super nice and went the extra mile to make our stay incredible. This experience has me shopping for a surfboard, lol. All the food was fantastic. We always felt safe. Do the canyoning trip, it’s well worth it. I loved this place."
"I almost passed on Swell. The website suggests it caters to novice surfers - which it does - and having surfed around the globe for 40+ years, I feared it might offer a watered down version of a surf trip. But after confirming with Clare that I could hitch a ride to the beach with the other Swell guests (who were all taking lessons) ......"
SOME QUICK QUESTIONS
-
WHY ARE YOU NOT THE CHEAPEST PLACE?
We already know we are not the cheapest Surf & Yoga holiday available in the Dominican Republic; we don't try to be. Actually, we are far cheaper than most retreats in Costa Rica, for example. We do understand that plenty of people are on a budget and still really want to stay with us, so check dates 6+ months in advance to get the lower rates.
Our pricing is the result of our commitment to provide a high-quality experience for our guests: Healthy, fresh, tasty food, a great location, high-quality surf lessons from experienced surf instructors, nice beds with Egyptian cotton sheets and 24/7 onsite staff. Speaking of staff, we have an incredible team, most of whom have worked with Swell for 13+ years. We provide a good working environment and pay our staff well, As with all good things in life, quality costs more. We also include taxes and fees in our prices, so there are no surprises. If these are the things you also value, you are going to love Swell.
