cant say about budget options, but im here right now at Las Flores Resort. 1350 all inclusive for a week, but it gets crowded during the best windows for sure and if i could plan it again id come when its low tide first thing in the a.m. so you get another lowtide sesh in the afternoon and amybe wait for negative lowtides as well. locals say Spetember through OCtober is the best time of year for swell direction and crowds. be prepared to just chill when youre not surfing. aint sh!t to do here.
its super rad here though - been surfing at least 2 times a day, pretty much head high+ the whole time with yesterday getting a bit bigger with glassy conditions all day. eating and drinking like a king and having a blast with the homies. highly recommended.
