Guest Reviews
- German (10/5): -
- Nathalie Veronica (7/5): A good place for surfing - The location was good and cleaning staff were nice and friendly The breakfast was good but not for early people. They said between 7-7:30am, but staff were there after 7:30am. It was difficult to wait with kids. Maybe it is not a place for families with small kids.
- Lautica (6/5): Bien - La comida del restaurante. La limpieza en general es muy básica; pero la del baño muy mala. La cerámica de la ducha tiene una capa bastante grande de suciedad.Le pasé una toallita de bebé y salía la suciedad pero en 3 noches que pasamos ahí nunca la limpiaron, y eso se va con jabón y una restregada.
El sanitario tenia el anillo de suciedad color naranja y la tapa del sanitario estaba quebrada.
El sobre del lava manos tenía suciedad con manchas que tuve que limpiar con jabón de manos y toallas húmedas.
Hay un solo enchufe y para 2 camas y al lado de una. Tuvimos que cargar los celulares a turnos.
El aire acondicionado es demasiado ruidoso.
El mueble del centro de la habitación estaba despegado, puse una bolsa y se me vino el mueble encima. No pudimos utilizarlo por miedo a que se cayera. El que está debajo del espejo
El camino hacia la casita en que estábamos está deteriorado, me paré a la orilla del camino para ver unos congos y se desprendió un pedazo de concreto y casi me caigo.
Le tenemos mucho cariño a Las Olas pero hay bastante deterioro, limpieza deficiente y mala distribución de las habitaciones
- jimmy (8/5): Ambiente tranquilo y muy buen trato - El personal es muy amable
- Thomas (10/5): good vibes only - Struttura immersa nella natura, a 2 passi dalla spiaggia raggiungibile attraverso un pontile che percorre un sentiero tra le mangrovie della laguna adiacente davvero siggestivo. Personale gentile, peccato aver soggiornato troppo poco, prossima volta mi fermo almeno una settimana. Il ristorante interno è davvero buono si mangia benissimo. Questo posto è una “chicca”. Nulla. Manca l aria condizionata ma se ne puo fare a meno.
- Roberta (10/5): -
- ALAN (8/5): Excellence day in a rustic nature environment with very friendly and helpful crew! - A definite wildlife and rustic setting, really makes you feel relaxed in a Costa Rican environment. The staff and hospedaje team are always very helpful and charming, plus excellent service at the bar/restaurant, with excellent cooks a bonus! Cabin rooms are comfortable, with excellent water pressure and hot water, the aircon works well. It’s a 5 minute walk through the mangroves along a wooden-slatted bridge. Does need some maintenance as there’s some loose or missing planks, walk with caution. Great experience! There’s only one rock shower-post to clean off after the beach, away from the restaurant. There’s only a garden hose next to the restaurant to clean off sand. Would be nice to have a stand-up shower to rinse off after the bridge walk onto the property. All else good!

- Christian (9/5): - - toller Bungalow mit Klimaanlage
- schneller Weg durch die Mangroven zum Strand
- Affen im den Bäumen wecken morgens
- sehr nettes Personal - Preisintensive Unterkunft
- Pablo (1/5): - Nos cobraron 80USD de mas sobre la reserva de booking ya pactada. Adujeron una situacion relacionada al cambio, pero verdaderamente fue una estafa. No tenia sentido el importe y fue imposible que nos cobren los dolares originalmente acordados en la reserva de booking
- Juan Jose (9/5): -
- Elizabeth (10/5): - La atención del personal es impresionante y la comida muy muy rica. Si es importante aclarar q las instalaciones sno son fre te al mar Q para reservar dice q es enfrente de la playa y no es así queda muy cerca pero al frente
- Rene (9/5): El personal y el lugar son muy agradables - La atención del personal fue excelente en todo momento, al hacer check in, al pedir que nos llenaran las botellas con agua, en la hora del desayuno. Muy amables y las instalaciones del hotel muy buenas y prácticas. El puente de madera que conecta a la playa está dentro de la propiedad, lo cual facilita mucho ir a la playa. El desayuno incluído muy bueno. La habitación no tenía aire acondicionado, los abanicos son una alternativa pero son ruidosos. El precio era un poco caro, pero todo en general en la zona de Avellanas es caro.
- Martina (6/5): War okay - Die Anlage ist gut für Naturliebhaber geeignet, aber leider doch sehr renovierungsbedürftig. Wir hatten aufgrund der doch relativ guten Bewertungen mehr erwartet.
Man braucht auf jeden Fall ein Auto.
Wir haben einige Hotels in Costa Rica besucht, aber hier haben wir das Gefühl, das es nur um den Profit geht.
Die Gartenanlage muss dringend mehr gepflegt werden, man könnte aus dieser Anlage ein kleines Paradies schaffen, aber hier legt wohl keiner Wert auf das Wohlbefinden der Gäste.
Das Personal ist sehr nett und hilfsbereit, aber das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis fanden wir zu hoch. Angabe bei Booking.com:
- Moskitonetz
- Minibar
- Bitte nicht stören - Schild
haben gefehlt
- Catalina (9/5): Cabina de campo, muy limpia, con un desayuno muy rico y una ubicación espectacular - La ubicación! Un camino maravilloso entre manglares que te lleva a una playa increíble con muy buenas olas para surfear! Volveremos!
- ombretta (10/5): relax e belle spiagge - questa struttura situata in una posizione fantastica rispetto alle spiagge del posto, da li si accede ad un pontile che attraversa le mangrovie e ti conduce con una passeggiata di circa 5 minuti , alle spiagge di sabbia. Appena finisci il pontile verso destra c'e' una bar-ristorante con servizio ombrelloni e sdraio, tutto per goderti una giornata di relax.
Le abitaciones sono grandi, spaziose, confortevoli. Il tutto e' immerso in un parco con alberti che fanno ombra e riprano dal sole cocente. Fuori dalla struttura, non c'e' molto meglio avere un auto per girare i dintorni.
- Elina (10/5): - Todella viihtyisä majoitus, mukavat sängyt ja hyvin tilaa. Omalta terassilta oli kiva katsella apinoita, liskoja, lintuja ym eläimiä. Aamupala oli hyvä, samoin muut ruoat ravintolassa. Palvelu oli ystävällistä ja avuliasta, voin suositella.
- Freddy (8/5): -
- Mario (10/5): Spettacolare - Posto paradisiaco Niente
- Pestana (10/5): Está no melhor lugar da praia. Simplesmente paradisíaco. O caminho para praia é deslumbrante e todos os funcionários são - Boas acomodações. Atendem a proposta do hotel Wifi um pouco fraco nos quartos
- Bryan (10/5): A little slice of heaven nestled in a quite secluded area. Everyone working there is wonderful! - Secluded and quant! Not all busy busy if you know what I mean! The staff is very good! Friendly and helpful! Everything was excellent except for the bed was a little harder than I’m use to but in no way would complain.
- Paolo (10/5): -
- Carl (10/5): Great time! - Had a good time!
Everything was great! All was good!
No problems!
- heinz (8/5): - Nettes personal,Steg über Mangroven zum Meer,Strand sehr schön.gute Frühstücksoptionen.lage der Unterkunft unter den bäumen ,brüllaffen und leguane Renovierungsbedürftigkeit der Unterkunft,sehr in die Jahre gekommen...bad schwer sauber zuhalten aufgrund unebener flächen.
Schade fand ich ,dass ich für eine Scheibe Brot zu meinem Omelett 2000 colon berechnet bekam,hätte man gratis dazugeben können.
- Carolina (10/5): Very happy - Very peaceful and calm place with Access to playa avellanas though the famous bridge over the mangrove. The staff was always very helpful and kind. The breakfast was also varied and delicious.
- Christopher (10/5): - La atención y trato del personal, la comida del restaurante, las instalaciones y la ubicación No aplica
- Micah (10/5): - The breakfast was great and the workers were very nice. The hotel was also very spacious and safe and the hammock outside was very nice. The food was always very good here for breakfast lunch or dinner.
- Monica (10/5): Precioso Lugar! El mejor descubrimiento en Avellanas - Nos encantó!! Un gran descubrimiento de lugar.
El.personal es increíblemente amable.
La limpieza excelente.
Desayuno espectacular y la comida del restaurante deliciosa!! Además los chicos que atienden son increíblemente cordiales.
Las instalaciones en medio de la naturaleza son preciosas.
Repetiré en cuanto pueda. Únicamente sería bueno revisar el aire acondicionado ya que enfría más de la cuenta y nos fue difícil encontrarle un punto intermedio.
- Yadir (9/5): Playa espectacular - El personal amable y atento Nada, quizás un par de lámparas más en el camino a la habitación
- MAS (10/5): -
- Stefan (8/5): -
- Sergio (4/5): Lugar con olor a humedad, sin mantenimiento, no había luz en el baño - Lugar ubicación Personal atento
- Jozef (8/5): -
- Chang (9/5): Costa Rica for REAL - The private outdoor space is wonderful. Being able to hear the animals was great. I felt like I was in Costa Rica and not some tarted up place that could have been anywhere. The boardwalk is AMAZING that alone is worth the price. Seeing all the birds! A few more outlets could help especially on the patios. Different breakfast options would have been nice.
- Diego (8/5): excelentes vacaciones un lugar que volver pronto - El buen trato de Brandon en el restaurante y la comida muy buena todo estuvoexcelente
- Katarina (9/5): Magical place, with privacy but I never feel alone - This is one of my favourite places on earth: the set up, comfort of the room, amazing shower pressure, private bro to the beach, the staff & owner are friendly & cool, all the animals encounters, can’t wait to be back again! N/A
- Cecilia Isabel (10/5): - El entorno natural.
- Javier (8/5): Relax - Close to beach Bathrooms not so good
- Todd (8/5): -
- Madia (10/5): - The staff was great, very helpful and accommodating! Two of the staff members went above and beyond! The food was really good. The room wasn’t as clean as I would have liked it. Seemed like the towels and bedding weren’t fresh, they smelled like someone used them.
- Michael (6/5): - The property is NOT ocean front. You have to walk on a long suspended wooden walkway which was very slippery after the rain. Not possible if you are handicap or have balance issues. None of the electrical plugs worked as they were old and loose. You cannot get an early start as the restaurant didn't open until 7:30 for breakfast. A little disappointing...
- Vladi_Ale90 (8/5): Paraíso para conectar con la naturaleza. - El personal es super bueno.
La ubicación excelente. El AC estaba sonando mucho.
La acera estaba llena de moho, peligroso caerse.
- Britta (9/5): -
- Noilyn (10/5): -
- Christina (9/5): Lovely stay at Cabans Las Olas - The breakfast was good and each day my family tried something new. The staff were all friendly and hospitalble and you cannot beat the location although after a while, walking on the boardwalk got old quick. I did love the villas/cabanas style. It was simple and all we needed since we just slept there. I was actually impressed that someone cleaned our room daily, the cabana reminded me of camping really. Nothing to complain about. Maybe the only thing is to have better board rentals. Also, I think the communication with staff was difficult ie. upon checking out they were adding on board rentals and other fees when we had paid already. But all was resolved, everyone/staff is very kind and it worked out. We would definately come again.
- Pio Luis murillo (10/5): Hotel cabinas las olas excelente - El hotel, la playa, en fin todo estubo magnifico Tener que regresar
- James (8/5): -
- Ivan (9/5): Great stay at the best surfing location! - Muy bueno el desayuno
- Ryan (10/5): Exceptional -
- Ignacio (9/5): Superb -
- Alvaro (8/5): Very useful for nearby race. - I had Mountain Bike race in the area and the hotel was near the race exit.
Service is too good that they provided breakfast the night before as breakfast starts at 7:30am and the race started at 5:30am.
There are hammocks to relax after race.
- Carolyn (8/5): Very good -
- Kristen (9/5): Excellent location, peaceful grounds, impeccable service, great food, and world class surfing - The food at the hotel restaurant is so fresh and delicious. The staff is super friendly and the customer service they provide is excellent! The grounds are so peaceful and you're truly immersed in nature. Best of all, if you're a surfer, you have direct access to world-class waves. The room was a little outdated and in need of general maintenance and better cleaning.
- Jeffrey (10/5): Exceptional - Everyone at Cabinas las Olas was exceptional! Sebastian was an excellent host, we can’t wait to visit again! Cabinas is lucky to have a staff like they do! Pura Vida
- Mary (10/5): Enjoyed our stay! - Loved the location, the quaintness of the room. Enjoyed watching the monkeys in the trees. Beautiful beach! I wish the walkway to the beach wasnt so rickety.
- Chris (8/5): - Na
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Na
- Oliver (6/5): Ungepflegt, unflexibel und grundlos hochpreisig. - Geräumige Hütten auf einem bewachten Gelände allerdings ohne air condition (Aufpreis). Sehr heisse Region mit tropischen Nächten. Etwa 400 m vom Strand. Das Gelände war nicht sehr gepflegt, Laub, Schutt, Affenkot waren überall auf den Wegen, die nicht gereinigt wurden. Keinerlei Bewässerung führt dazu, dass kaum Pflanzen oder Blumen in der Trockenzeit wachsen und alles ausgetrocknet war. Aufgrund eines Unfalls mit meinem Motorrad bat ich um Stornierung , doch zeigte sich die Aministration komplett unflexibel und beharrte darauf die im voraus geleistete Zahlung auch bei meiner Abwesenheit zu behalten. Bar und Restaurant sind im Vergleich zu tamarindo nochmals Preis intensiver, während die Qualität nicht aussergewöhnlich ist. Eine erstklassige Einrichtung und Anlage erkannt man daran, dass der Gast und nicht der eigene Profit im Vordergrund steht.
- Tjeert (7/5): Good -
- Stefanie (9/5): Superb -
- Mimi (10/5): This was my third time to Costa Rica and Cabinas Las Olas made it the best trip yet. - The staff was absolutely amazing, very friendly and accommodating and the food was delicious. The cabins are spacious and have all necessary amenities. And there were so many monkeys all around the property.
- Dominique (10/5): - Un cadre nature magnifique. Acces a la plage superbe.
- Elvie (10/5): Exceptional -
- Matthew (7/5): Good -
- John (8/5): We loved the facilities but didn’t like the boardwalk. - It was so charming. The room was plenty big and attractive. The food was great. There were monkeys in the trees. I thought the value was excellent. The walk to the beach was disconcerting. The boardwalk was very long and full of holes. We had to watch our step closely. We thought going to the beach at night would be very dangerous.
- Nigel (9/5): Superb - Close to beach. Big room with large comfy bed and lots of light. Cleaned daily. Howler monkeys and iguanas in the grounds. Decent breakfast and lovely staff.
- Margot (9/5): Superb - lush, full of wildlife: many birds, monkeys, iguanas, guanacaste grasshoppers.
Nice cafe/restaurant on site
Great walk to beach through mangroves
Very friendly staff Some nights a little noisy (cabins are semidetached and easy to hear neighbors)
- Margot (8/5): Very good - Beautiful property w much wildlife including iguanas and monkeys and redwinged grasshoppers. Lovely walk thru mangroves to wide beach.
Comfortable cabinas. Two units in each building and sometimes a little noisy w neighbors Not always an easy road to get there w large potholes. They were working to improve the road surface so may be better now
- Verena (10/5): Exceptional -
- Troy (7/5): Good stay based on the the beach and the surf for kids. Just eat and drink elsewhere - The proximity of the beach and the lovely walk there. The rooms were spacious and clean. The monkeys and wildlife
If you are in the area we recommend the little Soda next door to Gregory’s just a few minutes drive away. They have delicious well priced casadas. We went there every day to eat instead Some of the restaurants food was ok but the breakfast just average. The price of the food is ridiculous so we didn’t eat or drink there much which is a shame because it would be convenient. They charge extra for Avacado with your scrambled eggs at breakfast ( not included ). $2 US for less then one eighth in a tropical country that grows them. Local beers were $6 US
One of our rooms had a large lizard above the bed which left droppings in my wife’s head.
- Austin (10/5): Very much peaceful. - Very private very clean and very close to the beach, loved the entire energy of the place. The cleaners went in our place when we had our ”do not disturb” mark on the door.
- Zlati (10/5): - Close to the beach, beautiful outdoor setting. If you are a beach lover, this place is recommended!
- Cynthia (6/5): Secluded but NOT elderly or friendly for those who are not super mobile. - Wonderful and secluded. Really in the jungle. CAUTION ! So so slippery walking from the rooms to the kitchen. We can with our 70 year old mom and she couldn’t walk to breakfast alone. It’s steep and so mossy ! They really really need to power wash the concrete.
VERY DANGEROUS
- Marek (4/5): Neglected hotel in a great location - Location
Friendly staff
Good food in the restaurant The room was very dirty.
Dirty toilet, dirty sink in the bathroom, , dirty shower, dirty floors, dirty widows.
- David (9/5): Enjoyed my stay to get relax and meditate - Surrounded by nature, clean, quiet place Bad internet
- Marcel (7/5): Good -
- Melissa (10/5): Exceptional - walk to beach and beach itself was amazing. Food and breakfast and a friendly staff really make it great0 no apron on the bottom of the door, made it easy for bugs to come in
- Michael (10/5): tranquilo... pleasant and comfortable - My stay was great. I looked for a quiet place close to the ocean. it was exactly that. the 5 min walk in solitude on the path through the mangroves swamp to the ocean was out of this world. the accommodation appears a bit dated, but it was clean, plenty of space and very comfortable. It felt safe. a few hundred meters up the road outside the property were nice little eateries. the included breakfast was basic CR fare and I liked it. wished also had some fruit and cheese. but no big deal. overall, I enjoyed it very much and would stay again! nothing really
- Liane (9/5): Superb -
- Alessandro (10/5): Exceptional -
- Carrn (9/5): Outstanding location and staff. Nice, low-key place! - Location, vibe, and staff are outstanding. We are mountain wimps and the warm temps are tough on us. The little AC unit couldn't quite keep up but otherwise everything was fantastic!
I realize many people in CR don't have or need AC, and we adjusted after a couple days, it was just a touch warm the first couple days for us cold-weather people.
- Leya (9/5): Great location, great cabins, great staff - We loved the open space and the proximity to the beach, as well as the bar and the staff.
This place is perfect for people looking for more of a rustic-but-excellent location. The air conditioner had to work pretty hard to keep us northerners cool enough, but we were there during the hottest part of the year.
- Taylor (10/5): Exceptional -
- Jody (10/5): Pura Vida! - Wonderful nature! Clean and cozy!
- Katarina (9/5): Hidden gem of a place to connect with nature and ocean while meeting some interesting guests! - I found this gem of a place in 2022 and was excited to come back! Set in the nature, with private and unique path to the beach, grabbing a surf from the rental shop on site and getting to the beach early is a magic ...the cabins are comfortable and beds are spacious. Sebastian, the manger, was friendly and helpful attending to us during our short but busy stay! Can't wait to come back and stay for days to fully immerse. Maybe beach towels would be handy...otherwise cannot think of anything else.
- Koster (10/5): Exceptional - Everything. Beautiful secluded resort. Great delicious breakfast. Pathway to the beach was so interesting, saw all kinds of birds, monkeys and iguanas. Don't use google maps! Follow their directions
- Ann (9/5): Well-designed property with access to a beautiful beach. Being able to walk to beachside restaurants (particularly Lola’ - Having easy access to the beach was really a plus. The boardwalk through the mangroves was a unique way to start every beach day!
The cabinas are spacious and the verandas are a great place to chill. Nothing.
- Richard (10/5): Exceptional -
- Jaywalker (9/5): We really fell in love with the laid-back surrounding area of our cabin... typical Costa Rican charm - We really enjoyed our 5 night stay here. The price is extremely fair for the room, facilities, grounds and surrounding area. There are about 5 cabins on the large, shady grounds. Each cabin is divided into two guest units. We enjoyed the daily sightings of iguanas and monkeys. There is nothing glamorous or fancy about the cabins or grounds, but we liked it very much. Guests were all quiet and friendly. The included breakfast, other to-order meals, restaurant and bar are great, with a friendly staff. Feel at home in your swimsuit and a tee shirt anytime of the day. Our cabin interior was comfortable, with daily cleaning and bedding making. The room could use a deep cleaning and modernization... but for the room rate, it's a great value. We used the front porch with table, chairs and hammock each day. There is a private, elevated wood-plank walkway to the beautiful white-sand beach. The walkway is perhaps 250 yards long, through a mangrove restauration area. The beach is awesome.... great for enjoying the 82 degree year 'round water temp, sunshine and waves. You can look over a mile in each direction and see only sporadic beach-goers. It is not overcrowded and commercial like the similar beaches of the nearby Tamarindo area. There are a couple of great, casual beach-front restaurants/bars within an easy walk on the beach. They both offer beach chairs and shaded tables Both have good food and drinks at normal beach prices. In the neighborhood around the cabins, within 1/4 to 1/2 mile, are a few other good restaurants and a lively open-air food court with a half-dozen good food options. Though we spent some time driving to near-by towns and Tamarindo for a couple of days, we really fell in love with the laid-back immediate area of our cabin...,. typical Costa Rican charm and lovely people. There are very few electrical outlets in the room.
- Carine (8/5): Very good - Roger and his staff are very nice and helpful ! Cabinas very comfy ! Would warmly recommend
- Sarah (9/5): Great place, lots of monkeys and iguanas. - Close to the beach and ping pong table!
- Janelle (5/5): You get what you pay for. - Beach location. Friendly staff. Run down. Uncomfortable bed. A/C not cool. Stingy with towels and no washcloths so bring your own. As well as shower necessities.
- Brooke (10/5): Exceptional -
- Robert (9/5): Superb -
- Liza (9/5): We had a great time, the staff were great. - The hotel was great, we had a great time and the access to the beach was just amazing. Breakfast though was a hit and miss. We ordered and it just took way too long. In the end, they miss place the order and we had to wait even longer. Breakfast was okay, if we would have known
, we would have gone somewhere else.
- Matias (8/5): Very good -
- Amie (9/5): Friendly relaxed vibes by the beach - The access to the beach is the best in the area - private to the accomodation and with Howler Monkeys providing the wake up call. Super friendly staff and great breakfast included in the stay. There are other restaurants in the area, but we didn't bother as the food was yummy and we enjoyed the ease of heading back to our room. The room had more amenities (e.g. fridge) than we expected and having porch with hammock to relax at the end of the day was really great. I'd recommend that they update the amenities on their website - it wasn't clear that there was air conditioning and a fridge in the room
- Nicole (8/5): Very good -
- Ibolya (10/5): Exceptional - Beach access and in nature setting. Laid back, rustic vibe with great breakfasts. Love the monkeys on the property.
- Denisa (10/5): Great place to stay, close to the beach and cool area to see monkeys and lizards. - Location, nature, beach None
