Fodor’s Travel Features Lamangata as a Surfer’s Paradise for Every Level

Fodor’s Travel 

Fodor’s Travel spotlights Lamangata Luxury Surf Resort in a first-person feature exploring Costa Rica’s southern Pacific surf coast, positioning the property as the destination for travelers who want to experience the region’s world-class waves without sacrificing comfort or instruction.

The piece, “You’ll Love This Surfer’s Paradise Even If You Never Paddle Out,” follows the writer through a week-long stay at Lamangata, where surf coach Junior Vargas led daily sessions tailored to her level. Video analysis and drone footage tracked her progress, with footage reviewed each evening at the resort.

Fodor’s also highlights Lamangata’s greenhouse-to-table dining, describing breakfasts of gallo pinto, chili crisp avocado toast, and mango chia pudding alongside lunches of poke bowls and crisp salads — all sourced from the property’s garden or nearby farms. The writer notes that the quality and freshness of the food was felt in her energy throughout the week.

By the end of her stay, the writer describes leaving with cleaner turns, new friends, and what she calls “the smug satisfaction of knowing I’d scored one of Costa Rica’s best lineups without the crowds.”
