Lola's in Avellanas - it sucks

Avellanas is a long stretch of white sand about 15 km south of Tamarindo by road ands about 5 km to the north of Playa Negra. There are both left and right breaks, 8 different surf breaks, reef, sand or beach breaks with rocky points and a good beach break called 'Guanacasteco' with very hollow rights and lefts, along a three kilometer long stretch of beach. Surfing is best at mid or high tide.

For years, the only restaurant called Lola's has been producing excellent food, and the service has been good.

However, on the last few occasions, things have really gone down hill.

Service is a joke. Yesterday we waited 15 minutes to be served before just walking out. It's not like they were busy as there were only 6 other tables occupied. And this isn't the first time that this has happened.

The prices have also gone way over the top. Fish and Chips costs C6200 (USD $13,00), and a smoothie with rum will set you back C5000 (USD$10.00). Add the mandatory 10% tip and 13% tax, and lunch for 2 is never less than USD$50.00.

I don't what happened, but next time you go to Avellanas, take your own food and drinks.
