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 :)

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.

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.

Las Olas is a quiet place with individual cabins spread across a nice property, with mellow little dining area and bar. Nice room with space to spread out a bit, porch and hammock, fan. Howler monkeys greeted us in tree off the path. The boardwalk over the mangroves to the beach is surprisingly long. Its a lovely special feature, but means no easy access to the beach -- especially at night. You have to drive out to other places for dinner.

The property is NOT ocean front. You have to walk on a long suspended wooden walkway which was very slippery after the rain. Not possible if you are handicap or have balance issues. None of the electrical plugs worked as they were old and loose. You cannot get an early start as the restaurant didn't open until 7:30 for breakfast. A little disappointing...

If there was a 0 star i would have given that but unfortunately the lowest is 1. Save your money and skip this hotel. There is no ac, the fan is a joke, the bathroom looks disgusting (the toilet pot was stained), the bathroom walls had mold, there were dead mosquitoes on the pillow cases, the bed sheets looked as if it has never ever been washed. We got out immediately and had had to book another hotel for the 2 days that we planned to stay in this hotel. We were hoping to get refund because we thought there are base standards for hotels listed here but unfortunately we were given 1/4th of the amount back after corresponding with Expedia for multiple times. It was horrific experience and will not recommend this hotel to my worst enemy.
