Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Pavones?
The best area to stay in Pavones is right along the main beach, particularly around the central part of town where the famous "Pavones Left" surf break is located.

This area is the heart of Pavones, stretching along the Pacific coastline. You'll find a relaxed collection of guesthouses, small hotels, and eateries directly accessible from the beach. The main road, often unpaved, runs parallel to the ocean, making it easy to get around on foot or by quad bike. It's the most convenient spot for accessing the waves and the few local shops.

For surfers, staying directly by the main break is paramount. You'll be able to check the surf from your accommodation and be in the water within minutes. This area is also good for solo travellers who appreciate being close to the main facilities and having easy access to other surfers and local spots.

For those seeking a bit more seclusion while still being close to the action, the areas just north or south of the main break offer a good balance.
When is the best time to go to Pavones?
The best time to go to Pavones is during the dry season, which runs from December to April.

This period typically offers consistent sunshine and minimal rainfall, creating ideal conditions for enjoying the area's main attraction, its world-famous left-hand surf break. The dry season also means the unpaved roads leading to Pavones are in their best condition, making travel smoother and more comfortable.

For surfers, this is the prime time to visit. The dry season brings the most reliable swells, producing long, rideable waves that can last for hundreds of metres. You'll find the water warm and the winds favourable, great for extended sessions in the ocean.

Couples looking for a relaxing, sun-filled getaway will also appreciate the dry season. The clear skies and warm weather are ideal for spending time on the beach, exploring the local shops, or enjoying fresh seafood at the beachfront eateries.
Can I cancel my hotel reservation on Expedia?
You can cancel your hotel reservation on Expedia, though it depends on the cancellation policy of your booking. Most bookings are refundable if canceled within 24-48 hours of the scheduled arrival. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. If free cancellation is available, you can cancel directly through your Expedia account by logging in, going to "My Trips", and selecting your reservation.
