Cabinas Las Olas — Hotel in Tamarindo

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...

While Cabinda las olas is not a luxury hotel, the location and staff make up for it. I can’t imagine getting a better experience of true Costa Rica. Went there on a surf trip with my 13 year-old son. Was only in the room to shower, sleep, and occasionally cool off with the A/C. |A short walk across an estuary with wildlife all around leads you to a beautiful,long beach. Surf breaks everywhere. Met people from all across the USA, Chile, and Europe. We ate almost every meal at the bar/restaurant, which was great. People come up from the beach and just hang out at the mellow bar. |The waiters are also the bartenders, receptionists, and handymen. Josue was awesome and shared pics of his fishing and surfing adventures. Very outgoing and super cool to hang out with. He, along with Kevin and Ryan, were very helpful with telling us the ins and outs of avellanas. |The other locals we saw along the beach were extremely warm and nice.|We cannot wait to get back!|Thank you staff...

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...
