和平小屋酒店

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.

Great and unique place to stay. Fun environment and close enough to everything while not to close. Lauren (sp?) is a good owner and also added a new family member with a pot belly pig which my wife quickly fell in love with. Lauren tell Andre to be very proud of his country and people for being happy. They are not settling but happy. Happiness can define your life but life cannot define happiness. Costa Rica is a beautiful country with beautiful people. You also have a beautiful place.

amazing place

The location is absolutely perfect... it’s close to the beach but far enough away on a cliff overlooking the ocean making it incredibly peaceful. The view is gorgeous and the overall vibe is romantic and healing. HOWEVER, if you are at all squeamish about bugs and/or reptiles this is not the place for you. The first night I had a frog jump out of the sink onto my face and a lizard climb in the shower as well as in the bedroom. We also had an intense infiltration of army ants in our room & on our patio. They were on our bed, the wall, the lamps and all over the floor. These guys bite and are not fun. Unfortunately the room isn’t sealed off from the outdoors, which is super nice in some ways, but I would recommend having netted beds so the animals (spiders, ants, etc) don’t have access to anyone sleeping in beds. The owner did help is with the ant situation although it didn’t completely remedy their presence. On one hand, you’re in Costa Rica so bugs come with the territory. On the other hand, the bugs seemed excessive in the rooms & there wasn’t any netting to shield ppl from the bugs. I wasn’t too bothered but my partner was incredibly uncomfortable. Just consider your comfort level when booking.

L'hôtel est bien situé avec une belle vie. La salle de bain n'a pas de fenêtre er il y avait énormément de vent ce qui fait que nous avons très mal dormi. Mauvaise literie. Personnel agréable.

It was fantastic! The space was beautiful and the owner was extremely hospitable. The property was a top of a hill with views that make you want to see every sunrise and sunset. The food was so good, we didn't want to leave the property.

Casitas was clean and a good size. Great views!! Would have enjoyed a small fridge to put water, beer and snacks. Breakfast included was basic but good. Restaurant prices for dinner too expensive. But lots of options in area if you’re willing to make the drive up and down the hill.

Better than the pictures can depict! Peaceful and secluded with gorgeous views, and very clean rooms. About 2 miles of narrow (and a couple steep inclined) gravel roads to access. We managed in a FWD eco car but would have been very tricky if roads got wet!

Simply unique and luxurious with wonderful food and hospitality

One of the most beautiful views in the world! Peaceful and eelaxing... we didn't want to leave! We will be back.

C'est notre 2e visite au Peace & Lodge et c'est assurément toujours le paradis ! Petits bungalows indépendants et tous avec une vue magnifique, le calme, la superbe piscine et l'excellente nourriture (repas et petits déjeuners) et les propriétaires (français) toujours aussi sympa ! Le 4x4 est toujours vivement recommandé pour y monter (même que cette fois nous n'en avions pas...). On se réjouis déjà à l'idée d'y revenir :-). Un grand merci à vous deux pour votre gentillesse et ce que vous avez mis en place !

Très beau et charmant. Accueil chaleureux. Déjeuner délicieux.

We had a very pleasant, relaxing stay of two nights. Beautiful place with beautiful views. I would stay here again if (or when) I'll visit the are again. Most suitable for couples or solo travelers looking for a quiet stay. Highly recommended.

Difficult road up the mountain to the hotel. Only for the brave with 4 wheel drive. Worth the drive for view and peaceful atmosphere.

Great location, excellent staff and meals. Loved our stay

Very peaceful place! The people who run it are friendly, and welcoming. The food is fantastic, it's like going out for a nice dinner, outdoors, in paradise. The rooms are clean and private, with an indoor/outdoor shower. The view from everywhere in the room is unbelievable, and can be seen from the porch, the bed, and even the shower. This place is a Five Star experience, and not your standard hotel. Do yourself a favor, and stay here! Don't be concerned about its location. it's easy to find, and the road isn't that bad. It is a little off the beaten path, but that's whats great about Costa Rica.

So lovely. Our favourite accommodation in a three week visit. Spectacular scenery, stylish design, a really relaxed atmosphere and delightful owners who made us feel very welcome. It's a long, bumpy drive up, but so worth it. All the rooms have amazing views as does the restaurant/ bar. If you can tear yourself away, Carillo beach is stunning and Samara is fun. The wilder beaches to the south are within reach too.

The views are truly spectacular and the elevation makes sleeping perfect without air conditioning. Waking up at sunrise to see the clouds below, yes below in the valley was special. The owners and staff are delightful and the food is gourmet.

We had an awesome time at the Peace & Lodge. This is a small property with 4 bungalows. It is very secluded and private. If you want to get away and enjoy spectacular views this is perfect. The property is about a 10 minute drive from Playa Carrillo up a mountain road. It had rained a lot but the road was good. They offer a small menu each day with daily specials. The owner was very accommodating to our requests for vegan options. We would definitely stay again.

Great stay. We feeled very welcomed by the owner and had a great time! I highly recommend.
