La Paila

Our stay at La Paila was wonderful! The view of the ocean from this house was breathtaking. The home was very clean and the staff was very friendly. I contacted the owner several times before leaving on this trip. He was very helpful and sent a packet of useful information prior to our departure. The beach at the bottom of the hill was beautiful and secluded. We felt like we had the entire beach to ourselves on most days. We drove into Samara for groceries and shopping. There we found a beach bar called Gusto Beach (formerly Shake Joe's). The food and drinks were great and the view of the ocean was phenomenal. We ate dinner one night in Samara at Casa Esmerelda. The food was delicious and the drive was only a short distance from the house. In Playa Carillo we ate at an Agentine steakhouse called El Colibri Cabinas. The food was great and the atmosphere was intimate. We found that the people of Costa Rica are friendly and we never felt unsafe. I would highly recommend a stay at La Paila if you are looking for a relaxing stay in paradise!

LA PAILA is a beautiful hacienda-style home with a HUGE open living room area and lovely bedrooms with private baths and balconies. We just returned and it was ALL we had heard and hoped it would be. We woke each morning to the sounds of birds and an occasional howler monkey. The view of the Pacific from the pool and home are outstanding. Christina, the housekeeper, is warm and accommodating and the home was clean and orderly. Her English is very good. It's relaxing, fun, inspiring, gorgeous. Play backgammon, ping-pong, and chess; swim; read; paint; watch birds; swim some more! We enjoyed local cafés and the beach at Playa Carrillo, the drive to Punta Islita and Nosara. We highly recommend visiting the Cloud Forest Biological Preserve at Monteverde--a long drive but well worth it. We had a guided hike and did the Original Canopy Tour zipline the next day. See Mt. Arenal also. A MUST: Rent a 4-wheel drive vehicle for your stay in Costa Rica at LA PAILA!
Recommended for:Romantic getaway, adventure seekers, families with young children, sightseeing, families with teenagers.
One of the best family vacations we've ever had!

Wow! A house with no walls, or at least half of the walls aren't there by design. To allow the guests like us, this amazing view over multiple bays below from the living room couch, or while playing ping pong, and definitely while having dinner at the dining room table from within the house! In under 5 minutes down the mountain you are literally at the beach, and no one else is there! We bought a hammock in town and brought straps from home. Choosing any spot (a new spot each time) on the beach and picking any two of the thousands of coconut trees that line the beach to hold the hammock was just unreal. Awesome beach for anyone, and we have little kids. My husband and bro-inlaw did a ton of body surfing as well. More on the house: The rooms kept very cool at night which was great, and everyone slept very well on the beds which were also in very good condition. You don't see any neighbors while swimming in the pool or walking around the yard picking mangos and coconuts. You feel as though you are on the top of a mountain by yourselves. There are some crocodiles that live at the very far end of the beach in a stream. You can see them from the bridge. That's not something you see everyday, and you don't even need to have a guide to show them to you! We've been all around Costa Rica now and Carrillo beach is one of our favorites. If you're up for a quiet, beautiful and secluded beach and area, this is it!
