Great place, accomodation and food for a super reasonable price. Ricardo and family are super nice and great hosts. We stayed for 1 week and surfed pumping waves every day just 10 minutes walk from the surf house. Being so close to the beach usually ment that you could surf empty waves most mornings before other groups arrived and evenings after they leave. Would recommend to anyone.

Awesome and very hospitable family. 15 minute walk to the surf. Rooms with AC in the future, but fans in the room and a cool Breeze kept us comfortable. Resturaunt from family kitchen was delicious. Quaint but clean bathroom and shower. Ricardo can surf guide to local breaks.

La Bamba Surf House is perfection! I could not recommend this accomodation any more. Ricardo, Sergio and the family were more like friends, than owners / managers of the accomodation. They could not have made my stay any more comfortable and welcoming. The accomodation, aircon, showers bathrooms, food and everything La Bamba Surf House offers, is perfect! Get there!

Very comfortable, affordable, clean room. With A/C, private bathroom and excellent wifi. Helpful, friendly host. And it's pet friendly. Highly recommended if you want to spend a few nights in La Bamba. There are options for every budget. Beautiful beach and sand dunes.

To note that this is different from La Bamba Surf Camp. Highly recommended to stay with Riccardo at La Bamba Surf House - he has free wifi (other accoms at La Bamba may require you to pay for wifi), comfortable A/C and most importantly clean rooms and toilets. Much appreciated for the great hospitality! Also, Riccardo teaches surfing - so hit him up for surf lessons.
