“Très agréable petit hôtel près de playa Carillo”
+Nous avions une grande chambre avec vue sur la mer. Une petite terrasse avec hamac, chaises et table. L'accueil y est très chaleureux. L'hôtel est situé tout près de la playa Carillo et à 7 km de Samara. Séjour très agréable!

+Accueil chaleureux. L'endroit est zen, relaxant. La terrasse offre une vue imprenable.
“Welcoming and beautiful place”
+We only stayed two nights, but we loved it. The staff was very friendly and welcoming and the playa Carillo is absolutely beautiful. The food is really good. There is sunset yoga, I did not know and I wish I would have !
“Nice B&B in Playa Carrillo with wonderful terrace!”
+Lautaro runs a great little hotel. It's simple, clean and comfortable. Breakfast (fresh fruit, eggs or pancakes, toast, tea, coffee, juice) is served each morning on their covered terrace with an awesome view of Playa Carrillo and the river valley below. A nice breeze keeps things comfortable. Wonderful wildlife sightings include iguanas, raccoons, howler monkeys, hummingbirds, and lots of other birds. Dinner is offered with a menu of yummy pasta, empanadas, and a special in case you don't feel like going out. They will help you with activity planning/reservations too.
“Acceptable but needs improvement”
+While we were treated very well by the staff and the hotel has a fantastic view, we do not feel that the overall current state of this place meets the (room rate based) expectations. We are aware that there are some renovations planned and already ongoing, so it is possible that this might become s great place to stay in the future. The room was clean but very basic, we had no hot water, bathroom and furniture definitely getting old, no privacy on the terrace. The beautiful outside garden area with an amazing view does not seem to be taken care of much, not even a chair to sit on). The breakfast was not more than ok, basic Costa Rican. As in many places in Costa Rica, also in this B&B you will find that the dinner prices seem high, but in all fairness we did not try dinner (reason being that we were not at all overwhelmed by the breakfast) so it is possible that the food is fantastic. Having said all above, we hope that the owners have the dedication to turn things around here, since they do have a place with potential.
“Muy agradable para una estancia tranquila”
+El lugar es muy lindo y agradable , si bien no cuenta con todas las comodidades de un hotel super , la calidez de su gente hace que uno se sienta como en su casa . El precio calidad es muy aconsejable , esta muy cerca de la playa y lejos del ruido del centro urbano . El desayuno es muy rico y generoso .
“really nice & very quaint”
+bellissimo b&b, tranquillo, in mezzo alla natura e al silenzio. Bella veranda vista mare, con poltrone per relax e tavoli per il breakfast. camere adeguate, pulite, a/c, possibilità di lavanderia. Il gestore, Lautano, è un simpatico argentino, disponibile ma non invadente.
“Great beach near bed/breakfast”
+Nice view of the ocean and a short walk to the beaches. The bed/breakfast itself could use some updating and repair. Overall it was fine because of the beach availability. Carrillo beach was wonderful! If you like a quiet beach, then this is the one.
+Loved it people very friendly
“We loved it!!!”
+This was one of the top experiences during our three week stay in Costa Rica. Amazing beach, beautiful hotel and super service-minded and friendly owner + staff. I can highly recommend la posada :)
