We came to Las Olas without a booking after a minor stuff up with respect to which Playa Hermosa we were supposed to be going to. Costa Rica is full of Playa Hermosas - Trip Advisor often lumps them together so make sure you know what the Province is! Had I read the other reviews of this place from non... More

Cost is very low, and expect to stay in a more "surf Hostel" environment with open air rooms, basic bath/showeer and overall very utilitatrian. However for the price you should not exepct much more. The location is fantastic, right on the beach at one of the best surf breaks in Costa Rica. Jason, Cameron and the rest of the staff... More

This place is in a prime location - its cheap and given that food is expensive (Aug 2012) it's a nice place to save money BUT when the rains come it quickly becomes a sink hole with a swamp in the bathroom, and a leaky roof that dripped all over my bed. Yea if ur a surfer traveling with dudes... More

A surfers destination, waves for all abilities are at your fingertips! Cristian, Tex, and Nelson, will provide whatever experience you desire! The post surf food is fabulous...more ahi tuna then you can imagine! The hotel has a laid back vibe..the owners Cameron and Jason see to that. Will return this year for a 7th trip and can say every year... More

If you are looking for the best of everything Costa Rica has to offer, Las Olas is the perfect place to stay or to start your journey! if i had to backpack through C.R again, which i will..i will definitely return to Las Olas for another unforgettable experience! From the best waves, most amazing black sand beaches, gorgeous sunsets to... More

Stayed at Las Olas for a few days in May 2011. Had the best time. Love the beach front restaurant. Views ;-) and food was great. Cristian, Tex, Jason and Mike really made my vacation fun! Accomodations are "rustic", but for the price, views and atmosphere...totally worth it! Will be back again! Maybe 2012...before the world ends? Ha ha...private joke... More

THis was an awesome hotel. they provide you with the basics of essentials. its on the beach in what can feel like the middle of no where. Jaco is a short drive near by however. the staff is real chill and will help you with anything providing you need it. I was locked out of my room a few times.... More

What i loved most about this place was the location. Don't get me wrong, the place itself and the people that work there are awesome too, but the location was my fave. It's far enough from Jaco to be quiet and peaceful but close enough that you can hop in a cap and be there in 5 minutes. It's also... More

The food was not to be believed ! The best place to eat in Playa Hermosa. Great cooking with a laid back attitude. The service was rapid, polite and clean The servings where appealing to look at and great tasting ! If you like large servings, you'll be right at home. You won't leave hungry. I've tried the other places... More
