La Posada Bed & Breakfast

Ostional

Long story short we were lucky to find a room here at the last minute -- they had only one open.  The room was one of the basic styles, comfortable, very clean, affordable and met our needs.  The staff was friendly and helpful.  The hotel is within walking distance to the beach -- literally 150 meters.  The hotel's view of the horizon is spectacular.  We were able to see what other room were available -- some were spacious with their own private patio.  There s a single small house also for rent, but the rental does not include breakfast as there is a kitchenette in it.  Another nice feature of the hotel was that it was within walking distance to good restaurants and a corner store.  We plan to stay there again.

Fabulous

The rooms facing the back are small, decrepit, with tiniest, old bathrooms. Threadbare sheets, with holes, frayed bath mats. Time to update everything! The owners do not want to hear any complaints and do not address them. On the upside, the view from the dining patio is great. There are few more, much nicer hotels up the road and a few airbnbs.

Old and decrepit

We had a room with a terrace overlooking the ocean and  it was great .La Posada is a tranquil place, with lots of charm  and managed by very kind hosts, located only 200 meters from beach. 
Leo and Theo were very accommodating, making reservations at nearby restaurants. Breakfast is complete with varied fruit and toasts.
The rooms overlooking the ocean are the best, the bathroom could be improved with a bit of a face-lift! 
We loved the open restaurant area where everyone gathers and socializes and from where sunsets are amazing. We will be back !

Sunsets to remember

We really enjoyed our 5 nights at La Posada. Our room had an amazing view of the beach and surrounding forest. We felt very welcomed as we arrived and checked in. The owners are very friendly and were accommodating. We got an extra small fridge for the room and a coffee maker. Breakfast was good with fresh fruits, eggs, and pancakes. 

Playa Carillo is a 5 minute walk from here. You can enjoy the beach from early in the morning to late in the evening. There's plenty of small restaurants around with good food and reasonable prices. The nearest town of Samara is a good tourist destination with lots of activities and is only 10-15 drive from La Posada.

Even though we were here for only 6 days, the vacation was very memorable. For our last night, the owners made us a reservation to dine with them and their daughter at a nearby Argentinian restaurant. The food and setting was great and we all had a good time.

Thank you so much Leo and Theo for your kindness and hospitality. We really hope to come back and stay at La Posada again in the future!

Highly Recommended!

Showed up with no reservation and the lady managing it was super happy and helpful

We got a room with a view overlooking this great beach with lots of colourful birds all over

Breakfast was top notch and the coffee tastes even better with this view

Beautiful stay and happy staff

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 !

Welcoming and beautiful place

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.

Nice B&B in Playa Carrillo with wonderful terrace!

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.

Acceptable but needs improvement

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.
