If you want to try camping in Costa in a jungle or close to beach, I will stay away from here. I just stayed for a night so tough to come to a conclusion but it is not glamping as they advertise. The tent is pretty small with one mattress and a table fan. The surrounding is very unkempt. The wi fi doesn't work in tents. Overall no value for money if you take the exclusive tent and don't indulge in activities with them. ##### Lakshminarayanan ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller Apr 19, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Hospedagem boa para poucos dias. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jackson Feb 15, 2024 ##### Jackson Stayed 1 night in Feb 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Dusty Feb 4, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Dusty Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Vin Jan 21, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great Place, friendly people.

The place is run by volunteers that aren't always friendly. If you want to a place far away from the beach, with a small portion of whatever is left from breakfast from the volunteers.. this is the place for you. The tent is as shown in the pictures. They offer a shuttle to the beach on some days! (Unfortunately, I wasn't there for those days.) I was disappointed. I would not recommend this place. They did an excellent job advertising this "surfcamp". ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2019 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller Dec 2, 2018 Liked: Staff & service, amenities Disliked: Property conditions & facilities Pros: Loved it. All the staff and people here are what make this place an amazing gem. Super friendly, interesting to engage and just beautiful human beings in general. The sense of community here is by far the best experience in Costa Rica I have had. Cons: Only in the interest of helping Dreamsea Surfcamp to grow positively so i make these comments. The communal washrooms and shower on our visit respectfully needed some up-keeping more frequently due to the volume of travellers staying in the camp. The glamping tent we stayed in did not have lighting inside while other’s did have lighting - for consistent safety it would be helpful. Overall, if the capacity for the washrooms / showers / communcal dining were doubled as polished cement structures it would have been ideal and sustainable. For example: Lola’s restroom design in Playa Avellenas would work perfect for the camp. I loved Dreamsea and hope these recommendations do not offend anyone. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Nov 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Aug 5, 2018 ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Aug 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Steve, Toronto, ON Mar 25, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Amazing camping experience in the jungle! Robert runs Dreamsea in Tamarindo. Robert is an incredible host. Dreamsea is the perfect escape for the adventurous. The camp is located a 10 min drive away from town. The environment is laid back and relaxed. They drive you down to the beach every day and they have events and party's at night. The tents were cozy and the meals were always tasty. The volunteers are all really hospitable and welcoming. If you're down for a unique experience, this is for you! The monkeys are loud at night, but for me that was all part of the fun. This is ideal for surfers, yoga enthusiasts, beach bums and free spirits. ##### Steve Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Feb 25, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Just as advertised!

If you are going to hang out and take surfing lessons, and eat together, and party at the camp you will like it. However if you want to leave for Tamarindo on your own its not good; the “shuttles” are just trucks and you sit in the beds driving on horrible unpaved roads. They do not leave on time and only run a few times a day. The showes are cold with outsode sinks that are broken, no “room service” was done. Most of the people at the camp are volunteera not guests so you feel like you are intruding on a private party. If it was really cheap it would be great. But its overpriced and too far removed from town to be convenient. In summary if you want the cultish summer camp experience this place is for you. But don’t expect to feel welcome or comfortable if you are just looking to donyour own thing. ##### Daiva Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2017 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Mar 8, 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Verified traveller ### 6/10 Okay #### Christian Feb 9, 2017 Liked: Staff & service #### Naturnära Helt ok mysigt, stora tält.

This place is largely populated by "work-awayers", these are travelers that volunteer at the camp and received discounted rates. During my stay in March, I'd say over 85% of the people their were these volunteers. Nothing wrong with that, just something I think is worth knowing in advance. Family style breakfast and dinner, along with a quick camp-wide meeting after dinner to discuss the next days events, all contribute to a family atmosphere, almost like an adult summer camp! ##### Verified traveller ### 10/10 Excellent #### Vin, Florida Feb 15, 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Amazing camp in the middle of the jungle. This camp is a one in a lifetime experience. Morning surf sessions with Carlos were amazing. The people is what make this camp remarkable and the food is beyond words. ##### Vin ### 10/10 Excellent #### KatieB Feb 10, 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### We had such an adventure at Dreamsea! If you are looking to be at one with nature, Dreamsea is the right place for you! We woke to howler monkeys each morning, right outside of our tent. The food was AMAZING and the bathrooms clean. The other campers were young and lively and partied late, but that's Tamarindo for you! ##### KatieB ### 10/10 Excellent #### Patrick, California Feb 3, 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Such a fun loving camp. I felt like I was I. The movie "The Beach". Best place to be to meet other travelers. ##### Patrick ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Makanda by the Sea](https://www.expedia.ca/Quepos-Hotels-Makanda-By-The-Sea.h2328562.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Magic Mountain SPA & Conference center](https://www.expedia.ca/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Hotel-Magic-Mountain-SPA-Conference-Center.h1636277.Hotel-Information) > > [Arenal Observatory Lodge & Trails](https://www.expedia.ca/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Arenal-Observatory-Lodge-Spa.h11820519.Hotel-Information) > > [Kura Boutique Hotel Member of the Cayuga Collection](https://www.expedia.ca/Dominical-Hotels-Kura-Boutique-Hotel.h5637504.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Boutique Casa Del Rio](https://www.expedia.ca/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Casa-Del-Rio.h27603041.Hotel-Information) > > [Borinquen Thermal Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Canas-Dulces-Hotels-Borinquen-Thermal-Resort.h1155801.Hotel-Information) > > [Nammbú Beachfront Bungalows](https://www.expedia.ca/Puerto-Carrillo-Hotels-Nammbu-Beachfront-Bungalows.h11459871.Hotel-Information) > > [Crocs Resort & Casino](https://www.expedia.ca/Jaco-Hotels-Crocs-Resort-Casino.h8741357.Hotel-Information) > > [Azul Hotel & Retreat](https://www.expedia.ca/Playa-Azul-Hotels-Azul-Ocean-Club-Hotel.h6776980.Hotel-Information) > > [Buena Vista del Rincon Eco Adventure Park, Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Canas-Dulces-Hotels-Buena-Vista-Del-Rincon-Eco-Adventure-Park.h1858721.Hotel-Information) > > [Rio Perdido Hotel & Thermal River](https://www.expedia.ca/Fortuna-Hotels-Rio-Perdido-Hotel-Thermal-River.h6371123.Hotel-Information) > > [Nosara Beach Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Nosara-Hotels-Nosara-Beach-Hotel.h32722062.Hotel-Information) > > [Cala Luna Boutique Hotel & Villas](https://www.expedia.ca/Tamarindo-Hotels-Cala-Luna-Boutique-Hotel-Villas.h1118539.Hotel-Information) > > [The Gilded Iguana Surf Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Nosara-Hotels-The-Gilded-Iguana-Surf-Hotel.h22186079.Hotel-Information) > > [La Mansion Inn Arenal](https://www.expedia.ca/Arenal-Hotels-La-Mansion-Inn-Arenal.h8254135.Hotel-Information) > > [Lost Iguana Resort and Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Lost-Iguana-Resort-And-Spa.h1174121.Hotel-Information) > > [Capitán Suizo Beachfront Boutique Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Tamarindo-Hotels-Capitan-Suizo-Beachfront-Boutique-Hotel.h1140010.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Garden Inn Guanacaste Airport](https://www.expedia.ca/Liberia-Hotels-Hilton-Garden-Inn-Liberia-Airport.h2211738.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Boutique Lagarta Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Nosara-Hotels-Hotel-Boutique-Lagarta-Lodge.h12324224.Hotel-Information) > > [The Retreat Costa Rica - Wellness Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Atenas-Hotels-The-Retreat-Costa-Rica-Wellness-Resort-Spa.h10447279.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Boyeros](https://www.expedia.ca/Liberia-Hotels-Hotel-Boyeros.h11268329.Hotel-Information) > > [SoulShine](https://www.expedia.ca/Tamarindo-Hotels-SoulShine.h46292420.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Hacienda Guachipelin](https://www.expedia.ca/Curubande-Hotels-Hotel-Hacienda-Guachipelin.h1122531.Hotel-Information) > > [Azura Beach Resort - All Inclusive - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.ca/Samara-Hotels-Azura-Beach-Resort-All-Inclusive-Adults-Only.h20586535.Hotel-Information) > > [Best Western Jaco Beach All-Inclusive Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Jaco-Hotels-Best-Western-Jaco-Beach-All-Inclusive-Resort.h54703.Hotel-Information) > > [Socialtel Nosara](https://www.expedia.ca/Nosara-Hotels-Selina-Nosara.h32620956.Hotel-Information) > > [Bodhi Tree Yoga Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Nosara-Hotels-Bodhi-Tree-Yoga-Resort.h10650362.Hotel-Information) > > [Villas Playa Samara Beach Front Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Samara-Hotels-Villas-Playa-Samara-Beach-Front-Resort.h888268.Hotel-Information) > > [Occidental Tamarindo - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Tamarindo-Hotels-Occidental-Tamarindo-All-Inclusive.h793778.Hotel-Information)
