This place is just beautiful. It’s like everything Costa Rica has to offer in one place. The staff and hotel manager are top notch. Highly recommend you bring your hiking shoes and enjoy the entire property. You will not be disappointed. This is a must see hotel.
Our stay at Peace Lodge was amazing. The service, to the delicious restaurants, to the night walk, and all of the animal sightings and viewings were truly amazing. Thank you to Michael and Andres for making this trip so memorable!
The property is gorgeous and lush with beautiful views and so much to do! There are nature trails, waterfalls, and it is one of the loveliest places to stay in Costa Rica.
Peace Lodge is one of the premier resorts in the world that blends nature and comfort perfectly. There's an abundance of things to do right out your front door.
The Peace Lodge is a beautiful resort with the unique experience of having the wildlife within reach. Tours are offered through the resort to ensure safety and peace of mind when you leave the resort. The rooms are gorgeous and the La Paz Waterfall Gardens are easily accessible from the resort. Staying at Peace Lodge is an experience.
My stay here was amazing, it was a bit pricy and I felt that some meals should have been included. The overall experience was amazing and the staff was amazing.
Staff was super friendly and attentive. Rusty the dog was so sweet. Property is great for children with the pool and animals, but there are a lot of stairs when walking and exploring. I’m not sure it would work for everyone. We got in late after the restaurant was closed, so they had sandwiches and fruit prepared in our room without us even asking. It was the little touches for us. We loved it here! Highly recommend.
Loved the warm welcome drink and hospitality. The grounds are beautiful and our room was over the top with all natural wood and stone decor. Our surname posted on the front door was a nice personalized touch! We loved the balcony hammock and jacuzzi tub, fireplace, and bathroom waterfall! Access to La Paz Waterfall Gardens for a huge aviary, exotic wildlife and gorgeous waterfalls. The property is terraced on a hill so lots of stairs.
