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

Great spot. Avellanas is beautiful, and Las Olas, while basic, has everything you need.

The highlight of my 4 week stay in Costa Rica. You feel in nature, at the same time by the beach. The staff are genuinely friendly and helpful. Definitely a place not to miss

We enjoyed every moment with this crew of beautiful staff! Friendly and welcoming each and every moment. The fish tacos were a favourite of mine and I don’t think a day went by that I didn’t enjoy them!
This was a peaceful retreat from the world and a beautiful setting to reset!

Highly recommend
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.

Incredible place! We felt removed from the world and dropped into paradise.
Staff were amazing, location amazing, beach was amazing, and we never wanted to leave.
Once we arrived and parked the car, we had no reason to move. And we didn’t.

The rooms are large, I loved having a hammock right outside my door. The staff is exceptional, surf boards are available to rent and it's a great walk through a mangrove boardwalk to waves. I highly recommend this gem.
