A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of staying four nights at the Peace Lodge and La Paz Waterfall Gardens north of San Jose. This distinctive property really lives up to its name and was like no other place I've stayed in Costa Rica. I knew the place was unique when I got a key card for my room... More

Fabulous in the true meaning of the world, and all aspects of the scenery, the birds, the animals, the staff and service covered by others (we researched TripAdvisor extensively before booking) make it a wonderful stay, and we won't eulogise again on those, but in spirit of others not perhaps being surprised or disappointed, we would note the following: -...

This was one of the most incredible hotels I have ever stayed in, we loved everything about it. Disregard the reviews that call this place too touristy or say that it "feels like Disneyland" in a negative way. We felt that everything at this hotel was done very tastefully and beautifully. Our deluxe room was amazing - the room itself... More

Hope I didn't give the wrong impression with the title. Because although it has an air of both mentioned places, Peace Lodge took our breath away , and not cheesy artificial look. Traveling with elderly parents and family with 9 year old, we could not stop saying "wow". Looking down the balcony in the reception area , we knew this... More

We stayed here on our last night in Costa Rica as a splurge. They gave us 20% off for a last minute reservation. It was about an hour to the airport so a great place to stay when you first arrive or are leaving. One night is not enough to see and do everything so we will return to see... More

I stayed with my family at the Peace Lodge for two nights during spring break. This is truly a phenomenal resort. It is small and the staff attend to your every need. The kids had a great time seeing all the animals. Yes, they are in enclosures since they are rescue animals. However, we would be unlikely to see an... More

The Peace Lodge and Waterfalls gardens is one of the most beautiful places we have ever stayed. The prices are high, but it is worth the splurge! The service starts at the registration, with a personal tour of the facilities, but doesn't end there. Everyone knows your name, and greets you at every turn. The rooms are breath taking, canopy...

Where else in the world can you stay at the finest place in Costa Rica and feed the Toucans and the hummingbirds? My wife and I had been driving all over the area and thought we knew exactly where the La Paz Waterfall Gardens were. We ended up at the lodge, at around 3pm, where we met Jorge. He is... More

My stay at the Peace Lodge was one of great exception. They treated my wife and I like royalty. I asked if the owner was in the country and the said he was at his other resort in La Fortuna, The Springs. I told them that I had to meet the man that had designed and created this masterpiece of...

We stayed one night at the Lodge. From the moment we arrived the service was personal and friendly. Our room was spacious and well equipped with wonderful views. Dining was of a high standard and breakfast made all the more memorable by the birds feeding at close quarters. A perfect introduction to Costa Rica.
