If you're looking for a vacation that combines some exercise, some excitement, with plenty of relaxation time - look no further. Swell Surf Camp provides it all in abundance. From the moment Franklyn picked us up at the airport we felt we were in good hands. Martha can hook you up with any/all excursions, and often at a better rate... More

My family and I spent a week at Swell and had a fabulous time. All of the people who worked at Swell were, well, swell. They all were not only competent and helpful, but pleasant, helpful, and fun. The acccomodations were lovely, food good, the surfing was totally fun, and finally we all got to be much better surfers. The... More

My girlfriend and I took our first big vacation together to Swell Surf Camp and we could not have been happier about our choice of destination. Prior to our trip I did some research on the camp and was impressed by the positive reviews of Swell. They were well deserved! The hosts were incredibly nice and attentive, the rooms were... More

Leave all the real-world nonsense behind. Play hard and relax harder at Swell Surf Camp in the super-chill surf town of Cabarete. The property is unique and beautifully maintained, the rooms are clean and inviting, and your hardest decision will be whether to relax in a shaded hammock, oversized beanbag, or poolside lounge chair. The open-air kitchen and common area... More

What a fantastic vacation. I generally enjoy vacations that combine activity and relaxing, good food and nice people. This one fit the bill. The surf instruction was perfect - I reccomend taking the 5 day course even if you have surfed before, because just those few extra pointers can really change your experience. For me it was the difference between... More

It has been a month since I came back from my vacation. I still think about it and feel excited about the days I spent in cabarete. First, the surf camp. It is really clean and well maintained. The room is super clean and comfortable. I would say it is better than the 5start all inclusive I stayed in Puerto... More

Yes, it is kind of expensive for a surf camp, but once you're there, you will realize it's worth every penny. All facilities are in superb condition, the staff is very nice and helpful and in 2 weeks of staying here I never found myself lacking anything. More importantly though, the people make this place: There is a large communal... More

Hands down - one of the best vacations I've ever been on! If you are going to the Dominican Republic this is by far the best place to stay. First and foremost, everyone is super nice, down to earth, willing to give you genuine advice on excursions, and not trying to rip you off. In fact, staying here will ensure... More

After reading all the glowing reviews before we arrived I thought it may be a stretch that this place was that great but I confirm it's awesome . . . from the wonderful staff to the two dollar beers, you just won't find another place like this. We had a large group of eleven Canadians that visited Swell March 10th-18th,... More
