Original and quite place to stay right at the beach.

Small, quite and original place to stay. Only a few rooms in a beautiful garden. Family owned and right at the beautiful beach of Playa Grande. Lovely breakfast served in the shared kitchen. Super friendly staff.

Fabulous stay in a great location, with fantastic atmosphere. Staff was so kind!

Amazing vibe, comfortable in all aspects, great owner Felippe. Steps from a beautiful, secluded beach, 5 mins away from 2 good and cosy restauranrs. Bisits from Racoons and hummingbirds every day. Our kids absolutely loved it and so did we!

Perfect location a minute from a beautiful beach. Gated entrance made it feel very safe. Breakfast was awesome and staff very friendly. Room is tiny but all we needed and AC was a life saver.

Great. Had a really good stay in a memorable setting.

The pipes are unique and worked brilliantly. They were comfortable and a great use of space. The staff were fantastic and it’s set on a beautiful and quiet stretch of beach.

The quirky architecture initially drew me in, but it was the host (and baby mascot), the delicious breakfasts, the gym, the beach, and the wonderful guests that made me extend my stay by four extra nights. Every time I tried to leave, there was always another great reason to stay. The stunning sunrises and sunsets, the charm of Lolo, and endless possibilities made this a perfect 10! NB: Not a place for people with baggage.

fun experience

It is a really nice accommodation with a great common sitting area that also includes a small gym. It was a fun experience to sleep in a pipe. Every pipe has an air conditioner.

Exceeded expectations

Had an excellent stay at Pipehouse over Christmas with the family. Felipe welcomed us with open arms to his beautiful hostel with a lush garden, a big lounge area and hammocks. We even got to see monkeys jumping from branch to branch in the big tree overlooking the lounge. The hostel is located right by the sea and access to the beach couldn't be better. Additionally, we all found the hostel clean, well maintained and with a very friendly staff. The included breakfast was also much appreciated. Highly recommend for both singles, couples and families.

The pipe house is truely and incredible experience. It’s located 50 meters from the beach, where you can surf, relax and swim everyday. The accomodation is equiped with a full (and one of a kind) gym, a clean kitchen and clean amenities. The included breakfasts are delicious and are a great start to the day! Filipe is an gracious host and is very helpful with recommendations etc Would definitely stay here again!
