  • Ask About Surf Boat Times: Some resorts only go out at fixed times, others go on-demand.
  • Check What’s Included: Some prices include full board and daily surf transfers; others are room-only and extras can be expensive.
  • Don’t Assume Beachfront = Best: Some places set back from the beach actually offer more shade, breeze, and privacy.
