A busy beach worker was setting up the chairs and umbrellas, and informed us that the chairs would be $20 for two and $15 for the umbrella. Luckily, I had cash on me which was a miracle..LOL! Once he finished setting up he advised that all guests of Marriott properties, chairs and umbrellas are complimentary.... BET! All you have to do is show your room key and BAM, I saved $35 bucks! I did give him a nice tip for the info because we would have never known and just paid the fee! I wanted to kick myself for only coming on our last day because it was truly the island vibe I enjoy..

I would recommend against using this "school" but seeing as they are closed for business and don't have any communication they are doing that job themselves.

My wife almost immediately found her new go to Reef sandals. They have a pretty good amount of stuff in the store. This is one of three locations, as it turns out we also went to another one, it was a little bigger, located at the mall. Tons of board shorts, t-shirts for both men and women (swimsuits for the women). A small selection of surf boards, that were pretty nice quality. As well as some skateboard stuff. If you're into surf shops, this should be a place you check out. They have a large selection of Playero branded apparel, which is really nice. One thing to keep in mind, prices are a little on the high side. But other than that we had a great experience. Staff was friendly and helped us out with different shoe sizes to try on, and took good care of us the whole time we were there. We'd recommend this location.

I think it is a great surf shop for sure. I give it 4 stars for the clothes which the only negative is that they are on the expense side. 2 stars are due to the lackluster service. My wife and I were greeted by the two young women at the front desk and promptly told they were closing (it was 5:30 closes at 6). The entire time during checkout was silent and I felt as if I was a nuisance. I hope this was just an isolated event because their products are top notch. I hope future interactions with patrons are more positive because I spent $100+ in that place. Patrons should be treated with respect if you want to charge premium prices.

It was definitely challenging but with the right guidance and proper training I was mastering kite surfing with ease. My trainer as I stated was the best... honestly. He was incredibly kind, patient, and motivating. He gave me a lot of pointers and encouraged me the whole time. This was my first introduction to kite surfing and I plan to continue learning along the way. Trying this in Puerto Rico was incredibly memorable, as this was my first time to the island as well. Surf with a pro provides all the gear necessary to become successful , a helmet, vest to attach the kite, and the kite itself. I learned the safety protocols, and what to do if the kite flips over in the water which is incredibly important as well. I really enjoyed my experience, and I hope if anyone is ever in Puerto Rico and you're Curious about kite surfing you give this a try as well.

I showed up unannounced and was out on the water before I knew it. He has a nice selection of the latest model RRD boards and sails to help me get back into sailing after a long snow bound winter in Boston. The location is awesome and its obvious why it is a favorite spot of local sailors. I had great winds, 20+ knots every day I was there in early March. The equipment is stored a few steps from a nice grass rigging area right above the beach. It's a clean, sandy, sheltered beach with minimal shorebreak to deal with and the wind fills in beyond the swimming area. The conditions ranged from flatter closer to the point to bigger swells as you get toward the reefs where there were nice sets of breaking waves. I started out on wide 120l Fire move then moved down to the fast 112l Fire race. The 7.0 RAF sail I used had a lot of speed and power, good range and was easy to waterstart outside in the 5' to 10' swell. Albir was an awesome host - easy going, supportive. The rental rates were also a really great deal. Already looking forward to a return visit!

A worker helped me select a board that was reasonably priced, but of good quality. As he was ringing me up, he threw in a $10 jar of Sex Wax that really isn't needed for body boards. It might be useable on higher end boards, but not styrofoam boards such as the one I purchased. I should've handed the jar back to him, but I was intrigued by it. After I got back to my apartment, I watched a YouTube video on waxing a body board and it's super not necessary. They also have an excellent selection of new and retro skateboards. So cool! Anyway, the merchandise sold here is excellent and the staff is friendly.
