Balsa Surf Camp Montanita holds a 100% recommendation rate across reviews and is consistently called the best place to stay in Montanita. Located on the point, just 25 seconds from the beach and a short 8-10 minute walk from town, it strikes the perfect balance between surf access and escape from Montanita's famous party noise. Hosts Rasty and Julie are described as the perfect hosts, with Rasty being one of only seven balsa wood surfboard craftsmen in all of Ecuador, crafting boards that reviewers call true works of art. The Balinese-style garden setting is beautiful and immaculately kept, with nice, colorful rooms. The Balsa Surf Cafe serves what guests call surprisingly the best food in Montanita, fresh and homemade from scratch, never bland, with five different breakfast options daily. The camp also offers surf lessons, Spanish classes, kickboxing, and functional training on-site.
