Hey everyone,
A couple of mates and myself are planning on heading to Mexico or the Caribbean April 7-14 for some lessons. It's the only time we can all get off, so we're pretty much stuck with those dates. Does anyone have any good suggestions for locations, given that we're looking for somewhere that would be good for beginners? It looks like the Yucatan pensinsula has good winds around this time (Playa del Carmen, Tulum, Xpu-Ha, Isla Blanca etc?), or do you think the Caribbean would be a better bet? Caberete is clearly set up with lots of schools, although I'm a little nervous about the winds (or lack thereof) in April, and then also the fact that the waves could make learning a bit difficult. Playa Copal in Costa Rica also seems like it might be a good option, although it's a little more difficult/expensive to get to.
South Padre Island in Texas also could be an option, but the lessons and then cost of accommodation etc make it pricier than Mexico/Caribbean.
Any advice/opinions would be greatly appreciated!!
Cheers,
Tania
