One of the features that makes Playa Avellanas an amazing destination, besides its undeniable natural beauty and good, clean waves, is the fact that there is practically nothing to spoil said beauty when an admirer turns her or his attention from the beautiful Pacific to the coastal side. The only man-made structure that is visible from the beach is Lola's... More

The Cabinas Las Olas have a great deal to offer. The location close to Playa Avellana is outstanding. The beach is lovely and if you are into surfing a great place to base yourself. There is an interesting boardwalk (with a few gaps!) through the mangroves to get to the beach. The cabins, whilst still retaining their charm, are a... More

We did not stay here but we ate here three times during the course of eight days. We ate the fish and shrimp tacos each time, and had the best apple cake ever. The restaurant is as casual as you can get. The staff is attentive,friendly and helpful. Coming here in the evenings was the perfect spot to kick back... More

My Husband and I just returned from our second trip to Costa Rica together as well as our second stay at Cabinas Las Olas. Although we are happy to be home after 3 weeks away, we can't help but miss our little cabina in Costa Rica! This is a great location for families, couples, and anyone who surfs. Miguel, Noel,...

Thank you, CLO, for a perfect 6 days. We only planned to stay for 4, but felt so at home and had all our simple needs met that we decided to stay 2 extra days! The staff couldn't have been more warm, friendly and generous with their time and smiles. Perfect waves for surfing and swimming every day. Clean cabinas... More

If you surf so much that you are so tired at the end of the day that you don't care that you're spending the night in dirty sheets and showering in a mold infested shower then this is the place for you. If you like a hornet nest in your hammock, even better! The people working here are very friendly,... More

My husband and I have been to Costa Rica twice, once in July 2009 and once for Thanksgiving 2009. We love, love, love Las Olas and will never stay anywhere else. Last time, we really got to know the staff and were even invited into town to go to the Rodeo. Not an experience to be missed. I notice many... More

No Internet, no mobile phone coverage, no Tv in the bedrooms, great staff, great food, great coffee, great beach, lots of mosquitos, some frogs and iguanas, lots of surf, sun and hot! Rent a 4x4 car, explore around, take long baths on the ocean, enjoy as much as you can! And try to speak a little spanish. Ticos appreciate it!... More

Stayed at Cabinas Las Olas with a few buddies during a recent surf trip. Certainly one of the best places we've stayed during our surf trips to Costa. Staff very helpful and friendly. Not too buggy, although there were ants attracted to the water in the bathroom from time to time. The only negative is that there were times when... More
