The Deluxe Boutique Lodge was perfect in so many ways. We booked this location to be close to Poas National Park and La Paz Waterfall Garden. It was 20 minutes to one and 10 to the other.
Walter met us at the property even though due to weather and construction we were about an hour late. He also became our lifesaver that day. Again, due to weather, a family member was delayed arriving into San Jose. Walter volunteered to drive down to San Jose and pick her up.
The property is located on the main road into the small village of Vara Blanca, walking distance to restaurants and shops.
The Lodge is super clean and very nicely decorated. The beds were very comfortable, the WIFI very good and the huge TV was a welcome diversion during the stormy weather.
We do not hesitate to recommend this property

Good roads but narrow as usual thru towns.
Good roads but narrow as usual thru towns. Different landscape with the farms and greenhouses and coffee plantations in rolling hills. Waterfalls. Loved the drifting clouds coming up the valleys in the evening. Cool evenings and warm days.

We went to La Paz Waterfall gardens and it was an amazing place. You could easily spend an entire day there. Also the area is known for strawberries. We bought some from a roadside stand and they were delicious.Alice - 10Scored 10

This was a great stopping place for us and is close to La Paz, Poas Volcano, and Doka Coffee Plantation. We stayed here after visiting La Paz Waterfall Gardens (which is worth the cost to visit), and then just had a short drive to Poas the following morning. We only stayed one night, and didn't get to visit the town, but its location is perfect for a stopover while visiting the nearby sites.

The villas were adorable!
The villas were adorable! We loved our short stay but the wifi would not let us let our families know we had arrived safely. If you plan to leave early to travel more, the check out time is 9 am- not 7am! The staff member who spoke English was very kind and accommodating!CarolUnited States of America

- From $113 per night9.2Scored 9.2WonderfulRated wonderful· 1,030 reviewsThe room was nice and clean and also big. The bathroom was small but clean. When we arrived there we expected to see Volcan but the weather conditions didn't allow us but we were never disappointed because the hotel has its hiking path and that was perfect. The hotel location is high and you are going to be with clouds which is nice and magical also the temperature will be decreasing to compare other Costa Rica places. That place is very peaceful and quiet. We did breakfast and dinner at the restaurant and it was very nice.AysinTurkey
- From $501.03 per night9.3Scored 9.3WonderfulRated wonderful· 312 reviewsProbably top 5 hotels in my personal list. Excellent indoor and balcony jacuzzi, properly heated pool, very private territory and special wooden bracelets and the guest name by the door to emphasise the level👌. The reception guys we very helpful and helped us to purchase Poas Volcano tickets as well as getting some cash. They even got a cake with the candles for the birthday. The waterfalls garden is just no words. Fantastic trail with a shuttle back.
OlegIreland - From $501.03 per night9.3Scored 9.3WonderfulRated wonderful· 312 reviewsThere is nothing about the Peace Lodge that could have been better. From the location, to the staff, to the food, everything is absolutely top notch. The waterfall gardens were so much more than I expected and just the sounds and sights from the balcony of our stunning room were amazing. Somehow, the staff even helped my husband find someone to make my favorite cake for a birthday surprise. 100% worth the money to stay at this stunning place.HobbsUnited States of America
- From $501.03 per night9.3Scored 9.3WonderfulRated wonderful· 312 reviewsThe rooms are exceptional...river stone fireplaces, waterfalls with all live plants in the bathroom, balconies with hot tubs, etc...And the grounds are spectacular...hummingbirds everywhere and flowers blooming all around. The animal sanctuary is well done and the hike to the waterfalls is steps from your door. Staff is friendly and helpful. Be sure to do the frog tour and the animal feeding...these were highlights of our stay.RebeccaUnited States of America
- 8.4Scored 8.4Very GoodRated very good· 633 reviewsIt is very nice place! Our room was very nice with full bathroom (hot water) and nice view from the window. There is a restaurant on the second floor which is very convenient. Also, there is a nice trail in the back of the property with great view on the sunrise (if you lucky) and the trail to the farm animals that are pettable. Poas National Park is about 20 minutes from the hotel and the Waterfalls - about 7 minutes.

The hotel is very nice and well located to visit the Poas Volcano (less than half an hour). We also had the chance to feed tucans, sloths and hummingbirds, which was the most amazing experience.Natalia MariaItaly

Breakfast was great but you should also try their dinner menu - everything we tried was delicious. There are many areas in the property where you can enjoy the views and nature.
