Pacifica Surf Studios

Front desk people are not welcoming and could care less for your needs and comfort ! This place does not provide body soap and shampoo , saw a few roaches !

Don’t rent from the surf shop! Bad business. I should read the reviews. They charge me double and lie about a damage cost . They make cash from lying about damage. Very unfriendly. Especially the manager, very rude and give you no option but pay.

Total scam! Been having the best time in CR with family until our experience with Joshua at Pacific Surf Studios board rentals. This was our 2nd day renting boards near the beach. Picked up 2 for experienced surfers to use for 1 hour. Returned it and Joshua attempted to scam us for additional money by stating that we cracked the board which we did not - All of their boards are cracked. Additionally, he wanted to charge me for having a knot in the leash which I had contested because he gave me the lease with a knot already in it. When I challenged these things he threatened me with the $400 hold on my credit card and when I said I wasn't going to pay for it he said "how come you can't afford it." Also witnessed him giving other customers a hard time (i.e. going to charge someone for sand on their board? It's the beach?!). Go see Rob at the Lifeguard stand (1 access north) or Asdurilo (2 accesses north). Honest guys and not a bunch of crooks like this place. We travel and rent boards all of the world and this is the ONLY time we've ever dealt this a sham like this. What a joke. If the rental shop part of the hotel - I hope the hotel manager addresses this. Looks like this place has been an issue for years.
