Located in Santa Teresa Beach, within 300 metres of Carmen Beach and 400 metres of Santa Teresa Beach, Hostel Tuanis Surf Camp provides accommodation with a garden and free WiFi throughout the property as well as free private parking for guests who drive. The property is set 2.8 km from Mar Azul, 14 km from Montezuma Waterfal and 39 km from Tortuga Island. Certain rooms at the property include a balcony with a garden view.

My experience at Tunis Surf Camp was absolutely amazing! The owner is incredibly friendly, making me feel right at home from the moment I arrived. The best part? The low prices! (Which is almost impossible to find in santa Terressa) Plus, being able to rent surfboards there was super convenient. Highly recommend for anyone looking for an affordable and fun surf getaway. Will definitely be back!

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Montezuma is beautiful. Luminosa is simple, a great spot for backpackers. The staff works hard to keep it clean, but it's next to the ocean, so it's a challenge. The room I had was nice, I met cool new people. The small town and waterfall were well worth the stay, as well as listening to the waves at night.

    Great location. This was also a lovely little town with a community feel. This place is basic (think beach hut), but met the needs.

    Great location, pretty comfortable if a little dated and could do with a little work. I had a private room which was pretty spacious and didn’t seem to have same issues with being hot as some of the other reviews suggested. Daytime staff were very friendly and helpful. the best thing about this hostel were the people I met there though, it has a great vibe and it seems to attract the friendliest bunch.
