What our guests says about facilities

The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Delicious and Accommodating

I had such a good experience with the food at Paredon Surf House. As someone with dietary restrictions, I was really impressed with how accommodating they were. The kitchen staff worked with me to ensure I got gluten and dairy-free meals that were tasty. I also loved the communal dinner setup, where I'd find everyone enjoying their meals and chatting instead of being on their phones. It really brought the guests together! I felt well-fed and happy throughout my stay.

Perfect Relaxation Spot

The hammocks at Paredon Surf House were my favorite part of the stay! I spent hours relaxing in them right by the beach, feeling the gentle breeze and soaking in the serene atmosphere. It was the first time in years that I felt truly relaxed. Also, the pool was a fantastic addition, allowing me to cool off at any time of day. The grounds were beautiful and well-maintained, making it a perfect oasis for unwinding.

Comfortable and Spacious

I stayed in a suite with a private bathroom at Paredon Surf House, and it was absolutely worth it! The room was spacious and comfortable, providing a nice retreat after a day of surfing. I also loved the strong water pressure in the shower; it felt refreshing after spending time at the beach. It was great having a place to unwind that felt cozy and homely.

Fantastic Surf Experience

The surfing facilities at Paredon Surf House exceeded my expectations! I felt comfortable renting a surfboard, and it was great knowing I could exchange it for one that better suited my skill level. The surf breaks were fun and challenging for all levels, creating a thrilling experience every day. I had a blast catching waves, and the nearby mangrove tours were a lovely addition to my outdoor adventures!

I had a fantastic time at Paredon Surf House! The place offers great variety in accommodations and is situated right on the beach, creating a tranquil atmosphere. The rooms we stayed in were very nice, but the dining options were limited, leading us to explore other spots for meals. Overall, it’s a great value for what you get, just a bit pricier than I anticipated.
