The person (Marc) whom I assume was the manager that we booked the 'hotel' room with did not show up at all, it appears that he doesn't show up much. The staff didn't seem to even know who Marc was. In any case it is not a hotel. One level buildings are cabanas or motels. The rooms are overpriced (at... More

Owner was very friendly and helpful, as were the staff. Private cabinas were small but clean and comfortable. Shower area was quite nice. There seemed to be more bugs around this hotel compared to one we stayed at down the street the night before. I'd have to say however, that at $40/night for the cabina, with a fan (no A/C:... More

We stayed here for a weekend and our hut was clean and comfortable and the communal areas (retaurant and pool) were quiet and relaxed - the beach here is beautiful too and the views of the beach at sunset are stunning. All in all, a lovely weekend. More

Very nice and quiet place with splendid wiew towards the pacific beaches and horizon. Beautiful sunset. No mosquitos (there were millions of them just 1 km longer south but I think that they hated the small breeze coming in from the sea). When we stayed there late novembre we were almost alone on the beaches. Good food for all meals... More

This is a great place to just relax. Good food, right on the beach. Great option for those with transportation as it is a ways out of the town. That said, there is really no big reason to go into town which consists of several small restaurants and some other hotels. No real activity except fisherman and mangrove tour. We... More

we stayed for 5 very relaxing days, the little huts are designed with a lot of attention to detail and very cute and cosy. Food and service in the restaurant right on the beach are really good. The owners help with organizing pretty much anything you can think of wanting to do (horse back riding, nature and volcano tours, surfing,... More

We stayed six nights in one of the three cabins and explored the Hotels/Hostals in the area and can say that Olazul has the best accomodations available on the beach. We ate at the restaurant several times and the food was always very good. The staff has limited English and we have limited Spanish, but we did seem to be... More

We were in Las Penitas for two nights - we checked out most of the other hotels along the road before deciding on Olazul. Our cabana was simple but nice with a comfortable bed and good a/c. The only drawback was only having tepid water in the shower which took some getting used to but turned out to be pretty... More
