Cabinas are Costa Rica's version of the American motel. They are usually small, family operated businesses with anywhere from two to fifty clean, basic rooms.

About Marielos

Cabinas Marielos is owned and operated by Maria de los Angeles Molina Gonzalez, known as "Marielos," a native Tica (Costa Rican) and retired university professor. Marielos has learned from her travels throughout the world that the natural beauty and environment of Costa Rica are a treasure to guard and preserve. She does exactly that at her cabinas. The grounds are a masterpiece of Costa Rican gardening, with brilliant flowers, draping palms, and vibrant native trees.

Across the Street from Tamarindo Beach

Directly across the street from Marielos is Tamarindo Beach, one of the most wonderful, family friendly, clean, and beautiful beaches in the world. It gently slopes down into Tamarindo Bay, creating a 50 meter stretch of sand before calm, clean waters at low tide and a full, consistent, rolling set of waves perfect for surfing at high tide.

Cabinas Marielos has the kind of unique identity that San Francisco has, it is friendly and beautiful, yet modern and tasteful. Come visit us and get to know the feeling that Costa Ricans call … Pura Vida!
