  Surf Break at Paunch was perfect. Nestled in the jungle with daily visits of birds and monkeys, AMAZING breakfasts, free bicycles, David was amazing and gave first class service, rooms... read more were awesome. The place is a short 10 taxi ride to town, or 25 min bike ride (the best way to go), passing amazing off the beaten path spots you would not see if you stayed in town. David can help organize taxi rides, excursions, has great island/restaurant tips, and takes great pride in his place. There is no reason to stay anywhere else. More

We stayed at the Tree Cabin room and I enjoyed laying on the hammock on the deck and listening to the sounds of the birds and monkeys of the jungle. There is no AC but you don't need it in this room as you get plenty of breeze and have a fan in the room. Mosquitos were not a problem either. Rooms are super cute. Dave lets you use the bicycles for free to ride around town and the included breakfasts were delicious!! We always looked forward to starting our day eating breakfast and drinking coffee and smoothies on the breakfast deck. I wish we never had to leave!

  Our stay was incredible and we would recommend this spot to anyone who is looking for a great location outside of the business of town!

Waking up to the sound of rain some mornings and animals every morning and then throwing on a pot of coffee is the best way to start a day! There’s an excellent wave about a 3 minute walk away too which makes it very ideal for anyone who surfs! Directly below is a place you can buy surfboards, have one custom shaped, or have repairs done too so that’s convenient! I would suggest renting an atv or bicycle to explore further on the island as apposed to taking cabs. This is a very central location for surfers especially. Dave was extremely accommodating to us and he’s a hard guy not to like! If you have any questions I’m sure he can answer them for you. You really feel like you’re on vacation there!! More

  We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Charming room and deck, in a jungle setting, just overlooking a great surf break. Our hosts were very helpful and accommodating with setting up and... read more recommending fun adventures. Be ready for big, healthy breakfasts with fresh juice, fruit bowls, pancakes, eggs and more. Lots of fuel for the day, which I needed due to my obsessive surf habit. Definitely rent a quad while you’re there, as taxis get expensive quick. We definitely had an amazing time. If you’re looking for a resort style hotel- this isn’t the place. But if you’re good with a rustic, cabin villa style bed and breakfast with a warm friendly vibe, it’s a no brainer. Oh and the Wi-Fi worked well too.
