About the neighborhood

Located in Tamarindo, Cabinas Las Olas is next to a golf course and on the boardwalk/promenade. While the natural beauty of Avellanas Beach and Mansita Beach can be enjoyed by anyone, those looking for an activity can check out Hacienda Pinilla Golf Course. Callejones Beach and Blanca Beach are two other places to visit that come recommended. Kayaking and scuba diving offer great chances to get out on the surrounding water, or you can seek out an adventure with ecotours and horse riding nearby. Visit our Tamarindo travel guide

Great access to the beach via a board walk through the Mangroves. Surrounded by birds and so many cool animals, this is truly a gem of a stay. The room was great, and had comfortable beds, large bathroom, and AC. Highly recommend. The only struggle I had was getting assistance from the staff for arranging tours and activities even though their website mentions they can help. Highly recommend the Oropopo Experience guided Avellanas Wildlife Walk.

What a magical spot nestled in Playa Avellanas! We loved our time at Cabinas Las Olas - the rooms are great - clean and super comfortable. The grounds of the hotel are absolutely gorgeous and we loved the rustic boardwalk which led to the most stunning beach. The food was absolutely delicious and everything felt super safe and clean. Ryan was incredible - so kind and generous and there to answer all our questions! There are fun games (darts, ping pong, etc) to play by the restaurant and we rented a surfboard and had the best day at the beach! Highly recommend and would stay here again :)

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.

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.

The internet quality is not so good, make sure to reserve a room with AC if you don’t like the heat. The road to the cabinas is. Very bad but that I guess is true for anywhere in Costa Rica

Wow. This place was great, the beach is a short walk on a board walk through a mangrove and it is by far the best beach we visited on our CR trip. The cabinas were very cool and we saw monkeys and iguanas while here too. The food at the restaurant was very good and the staff were very friendly. If you are looking for laid back and rustic this is your place. No tv in the room but it did have ac.
