Laola Surf Camp El Sunzal

I was staying at Laola Surf camp wish I understand belongs to Lapoint, but unfortunately not. I booked this surf camp just because of lapoint. I have been to so many lapoint surf camp around the world and been super happy with my stay, and in joining it a lot! But this time it’s was horrible at my stay at Laola surfcamp in El Salvador. I hade surf lessons that I haven’t been happy with. This wasn’t what I hopped for, and the lesson didnt reach my expectations and the attitude of the instructors. Overall it was an uncomfortable experience. For example the instructor just left me in the waves even if I was scared and pushed me to the bottom. He was rude and didn’t listens or talks to me during my lesson. He didn’t encouraged me or make me felt comfortable or seen in the water. I told the manager Miguel about this and hoped he would understand. He has been cold and not helpful at all seen day one. He took super long time to even answer my questions and have no understanding of my surf experience with the bad instructor. Also he rolled his Eyes after he saw the board I was going to surf on my own (He has never seen my surf, and his attitude was awful) He gave me a new instructor and that one was mor helpful but I didn’t get out what I wanted to accomplish in my practice of a surf lesson. He didn’t talked to me what I could improv or be better on. And I have been surfing for 4 years so I don’t just wanted to be push all the time. It was a language barrier. After having this experience I didn’t felt I get what I wanted to achieve in my surf lessons and it doesn’t work out with this instructors. I decided to talk to Miguel the manager once again that I don’t want any more surf lessons because it doesn’t work out and I wanted a refund for the 2 lessons I haven’t hade yet! I have been paying a lot of money to in joy sometimes that just have been a really uncomfortable and bad experience. I came to Laola to improve my surf to be a better surfer and I haven’t achieved any of that just been badly treated. Even if I told Miguel all of this he doesn’t help me out or have any service or hospitality skills. I felt so bad staying there so I moved out 2 days earlier befor the camp ending! That place just make me feel super bad and unwelcome!

The most fun and most beautiful location literally steps from the ocean. Everyone here is so kind it took everything in me to not quit my job and stay forever. My surf instructor was incredible and I don't think I've had a better opportunity to learn so much in such a short amount of time. I am already planning when I will return ❤️
