    We have no words to describe the magical experience in the Peace lodge. Amazing views, lovely hottub on the terrace as well as an exceptional bathroom. Access to the resort's La Paz Waterfall Garden is included so you even get to enjoy it outside openinghours and the extensive Garden is on itself already worth a visit. Very clean. Good food on multiple locations. Very helpfull staff. Worth its price, for sure.

    Great stop on our way from SJO to Arenal (only an hour from the airport - immediate transition into tranquility). The lodge was stunning with so many lovely sitting rooms and views. We were there with our parents and 1.5 year old son and there was a nice play area on the lower level (many stairs and delicate items for a 1.5 year old so little kids definitely require constant attention if you're up for it!). Breakfast and dinner were delicious. Only 15 minutes from La Paz so we got there early and beat the crowds.

    Wonderful location, with views towards Poas Volcano. Tranquil and peaceful location with beautiful gardens, landscape. Friendly and helpful staff throughout. Good choice of breakfast was included in the room rate we had paid. We ate each night at the lodge and the food was delicious and such a lovely cosy restaurant. The lounge area was beautifully furnished and we loved the little log burners which warmed it. We would certainly stay here again.

    If you want to feel pampered and enjoy nature in style - Peace Lodge is the place to go. From the moment we arrived (at 10am) and were greeted with fresh Costa Rican coffee and given a full overview of the park and our room to the time when we sadly had to leave, everything and everyone was world class.

    The Lodge is truly stunning. It is decorated with a great taste and aims for comfort. We had it almost to ourselves and enjoyed every bit of it. The room was okay and the view was breathtaking. We had dinner twice and were quite happy with their cuisine. The staff was super nice. We really enjoyed our stay there.

    The location is great, there are hummingbirds flying around which is beautiful. They waited an extra hour for us for check-in which was really nice. The lodges are unique, quiet and peaceful.
