Our experience at Malibu Popoyo was nothing short of amazing! From the stunning beach right at our doorstep to the exceptional cleanliness throughout the resort, I couldn't have asked for a better family getaway. The restaurant served incredible food that our whole family loved, and we particularly enjoyed the yoga classes that complemented our surfing activities. However, the room was a bit darker than I expected and required the lights on during the day due to the small windows. Overall, it was a wonderful stay that we would repeat in a heartbeat!

Malibu Popoyo truly exceeded my expectations with its incredible staff, delicious food, and stunning ambiance. The rooms were beautifully designed and very comfortable, although a bit dark due to the small windows. The dining experience was fantastic, and the facilities, especially the garden and pool area, were immaculate. I can't recommend this place highly enough for a surf and yoga getaway, but be prepared for limited natural light in the rooms.

This resort offers a magical experience with a stunning setting, perfect for surfers and families alike. The rooms are modern and cozy, and the atmosphere is filled with good vibes thanks to the attentive staff. The dining is top-notch with fresh, locally sourced ingredients, but the location can feel a bit isolated since it’s a bit away from other attractions. Overall, it’s an excellent value for a unique getaway, but don’t expect a bustling area nearby.
