Cabinas Las Olas

This place is really a great, great beach spot. Old growth, trees, monkeys, lizards, and the boardwalk through the mangroves to the beautiful, wide open beach can't be beat. There are always waves for surfing, and the swimming is delightful. The staff are super warm and welcoming. We love this spot as much now as we did 15 years ago.

Great place! Very comfy cabins with all what you need, nicely distributed in the landscape. The centrally located very nice resto serves good food including breakfasts. We saw a big family of monkeys playing around in the trees. A five minutes walk on a wooden footbridge bring you to a beautiful playa. great for surfers.Good for a stay of several days!|Not far away from the tourist hotspot Tamarindo or from Playa Avellana.

We didn’t stay at this place but I rented boards from here and also ate/drank at the bar quite a bit. We really enjoyed spending time there. Beautiful grounds and good food/drinks. The guys at the bar made the place super awesome! Ryan, Josh, Sebastian…..you guys rock!! Ask for the “Ryan Special” drink, you won’t regret it!

LOVE this unique place! Our fav is dropping in for lunch! The Fish and Shrimp Tacos are to DIE for! Healthy and delicious! Bartender/Waiter/Cook Ryan is a great, fun dude....very attentive and interesting. We'll never stop going here. We highly recommend to everyone of all ages.

Cabinas Las Olas was an incredible stay!! My boyfriend and I are already talking about when we want to come back. The rooms are spacious and have everything you need for a solid surf trip. Each of the cabins (or at least most) have a nice little deck with a hammock and some chairs. The rooms had a A/C and daily cleaning service. ||The receptionists worked not only as hotel receptionists, but also has the hotel staff that managed the surf shop, bar tenders, and also restaurant servers. The staff were all very were very kind and friendly. We loved the dynamic of the Cabinas Los Olas. All very down to earth people that just loved to surf. The hotel also has their own private wooden deck that connects to the beach, which made it very convenient to surf. ||Lastly, the hotel also booked our surfing lessons for Avenallas Soul Surf School us, which was a great recommendation as well and connected us to a great instructor, Julio. The hotel also booked us a taxi driver as well to help get leave Avellanas. Overall, highly recommend this stay if you are looking for a great surfing trip and can’t wait to go back and stay at Cabinas Las Olas!!!!

Great staff, delicious food at the bar/restaurant. Game area was nice. Rooms are very basic. Mostly clean. Wifi was mediocre in both our room and by the bar. The walk to the beach is unique, and a bit challenging if you're carrying chairs, boards, etc.

Neat little hotel near the beach. This place is not beachfront!! There is a long and dangerous walk to make to the beach over a swamp. I really didn’t have much of a problem making this walk but I don’t believe they should advertise this as beachfront because it is not. It’s about 1/3 of a mile or 10 mins, although the hotel staff will swear it is much shorter. If this wasn’t advertised as beachfront I would have given a 5 star rating. The rooms had no soap or conditioner of any type. The mirrors are all made for very short people. The room we stayed at had many insects inside due to the fact that there are many openings in the building where insects can come in from. We found a pretty large spider in the bathroom. The breakfast offered was simple, it was ok but relative to other hotels in the area this one is just not as good. I would stay here again considering the price. If you don’t mind the long walk to the beach then I’d recommend it.

I stayed at Las Olas for three nights while on a business/leisure trip. It was my first time traveling to Costa Rica and Las Olas was close to my business location. The room was very clean and the shower had great water pressure (always important). Although simple accommodations (no TV), the WIFI was sufficient and the porch and hammock were perfect for resting and enjoying peaceful surroundings. If you love nature, you will enjoy the monkeys that swing from the trees and the iguana's that walk by. The food at the restaurant is a mix of fresh fruit, vegetables and locally caught fish. The Mahi Mahi taco's were the best I've tasted. The staff was very friendly and accommodating and the proximity to the beach was perfect. I would highly recommend Las Olas to anyone looking for nice peaceful place to stay!!
