You get what you pay for… or not even

6.0

The good things: the place is fantastic, with a very nice view; the price is reasonable The bad things: the road to get there is rough, you’ll better have a 4x4, we didn’t, but this was the dry season and that was still ok, in the wet season, it’s maybe another story. When we arrived, at 5pm, our room was not yet ready, and our host offered us a drink, as if it was a welcome drink, and so we have been surprised to find it on the final bill. Speaking of the bill, the exchange rate from CRC to USD was more than 10% above the official rate. Our room was nice (not the most comfortable beds however), but not so well maintained, a lot of stuff (handles, outlets and so on) was hanging on the wall (or not anymore) just by the last screw. The breakfast was disappointing, nearly no local fruits, and sometime, not even milk…

Home away from home / Fantastic stay in Samara

10.0

We very spontaneously decided to visit Samara and found this amazing place by accident. I contacted Laura the owner via WhatsApp and had a reply within minutes. She was very responsive, kind and very helpful. We confirmed our stay for two nights and arrived only a couple of hours later. We were greeted by a fabulous team, everyone was super kind and welcoming. Our room was already ready, even though there was not much time to prepare it. We had a bungalow with a balcony and sea view, it was simply stunning! We received great recommendations what to do in the area and the sunset tour we booked was great. In the evening, we relaxed at the bar, had some drinks and freshly made food from the own kitchen. In the morning, we also received a fresh breakfast with bread, jam, egg, bacon and a lot of fresh fruits. We had a fantastic stay and would absolutely recommend it.

Extremely beautiful and serene place

We stopped here on our way from San Jose to Arenal Springs area, for 1 night. This place is like paradise. It is beautiful, full of birds and nature, and cute jacuzzies and pools. It is on a hill so some climbing is required during your stay, but they have the La Pez waterfalls and a few sanctuaries for animals, which make this place very beautiful and special. Sitting on the balcony felt like sitting in a the middle of a rain forest. The bathtub was amazing, made from stone and full of vegetation. Highly recommended for a romantic stay, or for taking a break in your trip.

Perfect vistas with wine, peace and love!

We enjoyed every minute of our stay with Laura and her beautiful team. Very thoughtful owners and great style. Especially kids friendly even in their great restaurant. Would come back anytime to this haven above the sea!

Absolutely stay here

This has to be the best view in Playa Carillo. Staff is super friendly and food is fantastic. Only a few minutes to one of the nicest beaches in Costa Rica. I recommend a 4x4 though to get there.

A little bubble of heacen

We were very lucky to get a breath of fresh air at Peace&Lodge for a couple of nights. Manager Laura wasn’t there but she provided personally all useful info ahead of arrival, and in her absence chef Max, Pepita and all the lovely morning ladies pampered us with great food, great service and heartfelt attention in every moment. Awesome views and best food in our 1st week in CR made it just perfect. Rooms and place are also super comfortable and tastefully set up. Ah - almost forgot the most important final touch: adorable and friendly pet pig (and social media celeb) Brad Pigg, kitten Bruce, cat Bella and the 2 sweet doggies and 2 beautiful horses will make your heart melt and feel home in this beautiful place. Thanks and see you soon!
