This is one of the best vacation hotels I have stayed in worldwide, a true gem in Costa Rica. Spacious, comfortable, quiet, with stunning views, the perfect place to relax and replenish. Laura and Cédric are wonderfully welcoming and generous hosts, always there when you need something, look for local info or simply want to chat, yet discreet and unintrusive. Our family bungalow was roomy and super clean, the beds were comfortable and the balcony was the perfect reading spot for me. Both rooms had a/c but the ceiling fans were sufficient to cool them down comfortably at night. Our boys loved exploring the property and quickly became buddies with the friendly household dogs and cat and of course with Jamón the pet pig. Breakfast with generous plates of delicious fresh fruit starts your day off with a flavour and vitamine boost, and supper in the intimate Coco Rico restaurant overlooking the jungle concludes your day with the flavourful and inventive menu from Chef Adrien's cuisine - try the garlic mushrooms with pico de gallo starter and the flambeed watermelon dessert! Playa Carrillo just 5 minutes down the back country road (with the howler monkeys loudly commenting our drive-by) is a beautiful light coloured sand bay with waves just big enough for the kids to have fun in. Most of the times we had it virtually for ourselves, sharing only with a handful of locals and the beautiful red ara pair feeding on the beach almonds. We spent a wonderful vacation at the Peace & Lodge and can't wait to be back!
