We can talk about how great Surf Office is all day, but let’s hear it from the people who actually plan retreats with us.

Esme
Employee Experience Manager

The entire offsite was very great, very good. Very well organized. I liked the planning process - I didn't have to do it, I just had to approve it. I trusted you completely, with everything... I saw this attention to detail and we really appreciate it.

Iuliana
Personal Assistant to CEO

You were amazing and saved me 90% of the time I would have used... definitely working with Surf Office again, 10/10.

Ellie
People Experience and Operations Manager

From the very first contact to the last goodbye, Surf Office was an incredible company to work with for our company retreat in Portugal. The customer service was top tier and every single person I interacted with was absolutely lovely, professional and so helpful.

Tracy
Head of Human Resources

You were unswayable in terms of your positivity, in terms of your proactiveness and cooperation, and just your get it done mentality. So that was really good. Thank you.

Olaf
Global Head of Product & Portfolio Marketing

Honestly, everything went so smoothly. From Anthony sending us proposals and working hard at finding the right venue, to Romane planning every detail and being so flexible with our requests, to Fernanda being an absolute superstar onsite and being so helpful. Thank you all so much!

Clemence
Technical Talent Lead

I panicked when I learned I had to plan this, I've never done this before. Everything went smoothly for me, I wouldn't have been able to do it without you.

Christina
Office Manager

Marija
Marketing Director

I mean, you guys are magicians. I don't know how you do it... Honestly, it's been great, Jolanda, the support that you've given during the planning stage with all of the prep work that goes into it beforehand. You guys are really, honestly, the best. Thank you so much, you make my life so much easier.

Maiken
People & Operations Manager

Laura
Office Manager

In full transparency, everyone loved it. People are still talking about it. The main goal was team bonding and you helped me to reach it.

Sharda
Sr. Executive Assistant & Program Manager

Everyone was delighted by the venue, the activities, the transfer coordination and everything! Long live Surf Office! Can’t wait to plan our next company retreat with you :)

Raphaelle
People & Culture Lead

Gemma
Studio Manager

We got incredibly positive feedback. Many people said it was the best offsite we've ever had. So that's obviously the most important thing from like an organizational point of view. It was super nice working with you guys. I really enjoyed it. It was the first year we had an agency like you guys on board and it did really help, especially now having a much bigger team.

Helen
Director of Market Intelligence

We did send a survey to everyone after the event. And the feedback was very positive. Everyone loved the hotel. People were saying that the food at the venue was very good, which I agree with. The rooms were great. The meeting space was perfect for us. Obviously the beach and the area were perfect. I think it was a great location for our team. There were some people that said this was the best summit they’ve attended.

Natalia
Operations Coordinator

The feedback has been impeccable. Everybody loved the hotel, loved the staff, loved the support from Surf Office, everything. All the expectations were, you know, not even just met, but went beyond. We loved the way we were taken care of.

Gabor
Executive Assistant and Office Manager

The overall feedback was really fantastic. Everybody really liked the venue. They really liked being in the same location. We had a wonderful partnership and we’d love to work with you again.

Jen
Operations and Administration

We walked into it anxious. We walked away from it absolutely amazed by the results. It was so well organized. I would never have been able to do that alone, you pulled that off entirely. It was amazing. The team is buzzing! It blew people away. It definitely blew us away.

Samantha
HR Manager

I was stressed out before the retreat cause I never did the planning. As soon as we arrived to the hotel, they knew everything and I didn’t have to worry about anything. Big thumbs up to the Surf Office team for the general flexibility, and for the communication.

David
HR Lead

It was absolutely perfect. There wasn’t one thing that I can criticize. We had a fantastic time, really really good. It went so smoothly, everybody was very happy. Anybody that asked now about how the offsite went, I just say: “It was amazing, you only can use 1 company, you don’t need to use anybody else”.

Christina
Senior Operations Manager

Amazing. It was I think a really lifelong memory. I think the whole team had a really great time. I never could do this without Surf Office.

Tina
Finance & Operations Manager

It was an awesome experience. It went super smooth, the drivers were on time, food was great, and the flexibility of the hotel was great. We had a truly amazing time and all because of your great work and preparations – you were like the magic fairies that organised everything so beautifully!

Felicitas
Chief People Officer

We couldn't do it without you. You were a huge support for us. We did a feedback survey asking the team how everything was, asking about the hotel, the food, the program etc. and they were able to rate from 1 to 10, & overall we have a 9.5 So it was really really successful!

Victoria
Specialist Office Management

The expectations were really high. We put a lot of pressure on you since the start, telling you about our last events in the Moroccan desert and in Eiffel Tower. But it was great. The organization was really smooth. The event was beyond expectation!

Medhavi
People Experience Manager

We did a survey with the guys, we have like mostly 9/10, or 10/10. People were really having so much fun… they were very happy with the choice of the place. The venue, the weather, the team dynamics, it all came together really well.

Giulia
People Experience Partner

I really felt having you being part of it was such an asset. Just knowing that you were point in organizing this and then also if there was a question or problem we could just reach out directly was really helpful.

Jason
Vice President of Business Operations

Everybody loved it! We did a post-offsite survey, and it was all vibes! Everything went to plan. One thing that we were all saying internally as well is like - I honestly don't think we would have made happen unless we had Surf Office.

Gregor
Senior Product Design Manager

It was great! People loved the balance of free time and activities. They loved that we gave them options on activities.

Seif
Operations Associate

We have been doing this since 2008, so it was the 17th event this year. And the consensus was that this was the best ever. Everybody was super happy, they had lots of fun. So it was great.

Hugo
Scientific Account Manager

People got together, people got to see each other. We had really good internal sessions, and also a lot of off time sessions. I feel Surf Office thought of a lot of things that one would not think when you're planning an off site in another country.

Elsa
Senior People Operations Analyst

We have grown so much since our last event, so were a lot of people, and we needed those three days to talk, to interact with everyone... You handled it so beautifully. We did not have to worry about organizing or arranging anything. You guys did an amazing job.

Mamata
Project Engineer

It was amazing. I mean, the team was just absolutely over the top, thrilled. Everything was fantastic.

Dean
CEO

As we wrap up our first-ever company offsite in Portugal, I feel so grateful for the incredible experience we've shared as a team. This past week has been nothing short of amazing, filled with enriching and productive sessions, workshops, and memorable moments.

Alejandro
VP, People & Culture

It was a massive success, the team loved every part of it and all of the restaurants, activities, transfer, etc. that you organised were excellent. I will certainly be contacting Surf Office again for anything I plan in the future.

Phil
Chief Sales Officer

We had a great retreat! So far all individual feedback that came back through a survey we sent out to the team, was super positive! Everyone really enjoyed it!

Sarah
Project Manager

We loved it! Our management had very specific requirements for a retreat location... remote and in nature but with room for interaction. The venue and every aspect of this retreat matched that. We loved it so much that we even consider repeating the venue.

Patricia
Operations Generalist & People Coordinator

Everyone has commented on how well the retreat went, and we really do appreciate everything that you did to make it go so smoothly.

Trina
Director of Finance

It was amazing. The whole team enjoyed everything. The hospitality, the area, the apartments, the sea view, the hotel staff, the old town. It was perfect, it was our best offsite.

Annika
Lead People Operations, Data and Processes

Everything was amazing. So I have only good things to say. Team loved it. Again, I was very congratulated. They were very happy. Everything was on spot.

Irina
Marketing Manager

We have organized company retreats for our distributed 30 people team multiple times with Surf Office and the team has loved it every time. Surf Office has some great venues as part of their portfolio and do a great job helping to facilitate pretty much everything from accommodation, food, activities, airport transfers etc.

Kaylie
Director of People

The retreat went great, even exceeded our expectations. The team have never met before, so people bonding was the biggest win for us. For a first retreat, it was a great place. The location was great. Everyone was very happy and had an amazing time. It was a major success.

Kalina
Sales Strategist

Everyone has made it home by now and is still buzzing from the trip. I appreciate your help so much, it was a wonderful all-hands meeting trip.

Jeroen
VP of Engineering & Chief Architect

As we came back last week and just completed our retro on team offsite, wanted to share how much everyone loved everything, the location, the organisation. Thanks so much.

Mariam
Operations Associate

I think the most important thing was that we really felt like you are an extension of our team.

Leeann
Head of Operations

It was an amazing experience and a stress relief working with Surf Office.

Frida

It was great, it was everything I was hoping for. We're already excited about next time, we'll be working together for sure.
