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.

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.

Muy bueno el desayuno

The room was a little outdated and in need of general maintenance and better cleaning.

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.

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

I wish the walkway to the beach wasnt so rickety.

Loved the location, the quaintness of the room. Enjoyed watching the monkeys in the trees. Beautiful beach!

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.

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.

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.

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.

Some nights a little noisy (cabins are semidetached and easy to hear neighbors)

lush, full of wildlife: many birds, monkeys, iguanas, guanacaste grasshoppers. Nice cafe/restaurant on site Great walk to beach through mangroves Very friendly staff

Not always an easy road to get there w large potholes. They were working to improve the road surface so may be better now

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

Very private very clean and very close to the beach, loved the entire energy of the place.

nothing really

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!

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.

Location, vibe, and staff are outstanding.

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.

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.

Wonderful nature! Clean and cozy!

Maybe beach towels would be handy...otherwise cannot think of anything else.

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.

Don't use google maps! Follow their directions

Everything. Beautiful secluded resort. Great delicious breakfast. Pathway to the beach was so interesting, saw all kinds of birds, monkeys and iguanas.

Nothing.

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.

There are very few electrical outlets in the room.

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.

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.
