We found Cabinas las Arenas at the last minute during the Christmas season when almost everything was booked, so were grateful to find a room available. For the rate, our expectations weren't high. The room was nicely furnished, but being the last guests to book a room there were only three towels available, one of which was pretty nasty. I... More

Owner of this hotel is on site and extremely helpful with any needs you might have while visiting the central Pacific Coast. He not only helped us find Quepo Expeditions for white water rafting but also drove us there and back. The rooms are colorful and comfortable. The restaurant on site has excellent food reasonably priced. WiFi, and a relaxed... More

We love going to Cabinas Las Arenas. We are in our mid-sixties and have gone there for the past 4 or 5 years and are planning on going again. Yes, it's rustic, it's low-key, it's relaxing and if you want privacy you've got it. If you want to get away from lots of people, if you want to come and... More

Yes, you do get what you pay for, but for the cheapest price in town Cabinal Las Arenas is a sure bet. Roger and his staff are extremely friendly and courteous. If you want luxury, pay $100 a night and stay somewhere else but if your on a tight budget this is the place for you. After all, your in... More

My first though on going to Cost Rica, came to me on January 2009. I am not a surfer but, still, I wanted to go to this country and enjoy some time at the beach. 'Doing something close to nothing' as the Prince song goes. Searching the Internet, I came by Cabinas Las Arenas and initiated some contact back then... More

I read all the reviews on this site and was extremely worried but took the chance because it was within the budget. We arrived early & the manager Roger let us keep our stuff in the office until a room became vacant in the afternoon which allowed us to roam around & not waste a day. I don't understand what...
