This is where top WSL Pro Surfer, Griffin Colapinto and his family owned a villa. Griffin took his first Surf trip with the Family. “We enjoyed walking to Playa Hermosa or taking a boat out to a world class wave 10 minutes from the house at the Los Sueños Harbor & Resort. You can pack a cooler and get dropped off at a secluded beach with no one around. The family enjoyed going to fine restaurants at night and adventuring on all the great tours like zip line and crocodiles and the national park 30 min away.” Now we have Crosby Colapinto on the WSL Tour!
