Tough to find faults in such paradise, but the hot water tank in the villa must be small because there was only ever enough to fill the hot tub ~80%. Also the property is on a hillside with serious elevation changes - not a fault of course but there is only so many times you can run up to the room to get something :)

Last stayed here in 2007 with my wife and wanted to come back with kids - went even better than expected. Got upgraded to the villa which was amazing. Going to miss soaking in the terrace jacuzzi and watching the humming birds. The grounds and amenities are wonderful, and there is tons to do without ever leaving the property. Birds, butterflies, monkeys, frogs, big cats - just an incredible variety of fauna. We even did the frog tour at night which we loved and the kids got to milk a cow. And of course the waterfall hike is spectacular.

For the price I wish breakfast was included or more experiences offered for hotel guests.

We loved all the easy access to animals, trails and waterfalls, fun experiences and the rooms are really beautiful, private and had nice views

Animals, activities, stairs and exercise, waterfalls, staff, pools, trout fishing

I didn’t like the wild cat and monkey enclosures. They were too small for the animals and I found it upsetting to know that my stay was contributing to what I would consider abusive confinement for profit. They have a very large property to expand the enclosure areas or not have them at all if they can’t do it right. It really brought the enjoyment of our stay way down. All 3 of us were distressed after visiting that section.

The trails and waterfalls were absolutely beautiful. Dinner in the dining room was exceptional as well as the service. Every staff member went out of their way to make you comfortable and help you. The hummingbirds everywhere were amazing.

We loved everything. The views were jaw dropping, and our kids loved the bathroom with the fun showers and tubs, and outdoor tub. The bed was so comfortable as well! The sanctuary and waterfalls were definitely worth a visit. The staff was incredibly responsive and helpful. I couldn’t recommend this place enough and we hope to visit again!

that the breakfast wasn't included in the rate we paid!

amazing room and bathroom facilities, beautiful view on to the gardens and park, animals in the park looked happy except the jungle cats looked sad...

Dining choices limited for dinner and get redundant after a few days. Food quality is good, but hugely overpriced for what it is. Ubers don't service the area, so you are stuck with the food options on the property (i.e. $5 usd for 1/2 an avocado) and need to arrange a driver to leave the park.

Beautiful property with enough to do for 3 days. Quiet and not overcrowded. Trout grill was great, as were the trails and views. Relaxing and peaceful.

This is the one of the best hotels our family has stayed at! We loved our room, especially the massive bathroom that had the waterfall feature and 2 showers! Dinners were exceptional (although expensive) and we really enjoyed all of the animal activities, especially the feedings. Michael and Rodrigo were our guides and took great care of our family. Everyone who works at the hotel was so friendly and made us feel very welcome!

Nothing bad to say about this place!

The Peace Lodge was one of the most amazing and magical places we have ever stayed! Everything from the top notch service to the super comfortable and incredible rooms to the facilities that included holding toucans, hummingbirds, and feeding a sloth...this place was a dream for our family. My 10yr old daughter even announced she plans to come back for her honeymoon.

Having to leave !

Our family of 5 stayed at Peace Lodge for our last night in Costa Rica. It was the most expensive accommodation of our holiday but the nightly rate includes entry to La Paz Waterfall Gardens and the animal and butterfly sanctuary so we felt it was worth it. It is also only a short drive from San Jose airport which was very convenient. We did the evening animal feeding tour and night frog tour which were both amazing - the guide was friendly and knowledgeable. Our boys also caught sone trout in the lake. The grounds are absolutely beautiful and our family room was gorgeous with its balcony jacuzzi and lovely views. We had a delicious evening meal with great service in the main restaurant and had the buffet lunch the next day before departing for the airport, which was plentiful, delicious and surprisingly great value for money. All the staff were professional, welcoming, knowledgeable and we felt very spoiled throughout our stay.

This hotel and the entire property were magical! Gorgeous rooms, stunning grounds, impeccable service, and a delicious dinner made for a perfect stay. The walk to the waterfalls was beautiful, and seeing all the animals (especially sloths and tucans) was so fun. We had an amazing time!

The price is a bit on the high side but you are paying what you are getting for.

We loved everything, I went with my Wife, Son, and daughter, and we were super happy with everything I mean everything was so great and cozy, and we loved the location the altitude on the mountain near Poas Volcano, and the weather in December with very little rain.

We were in a grind floor room and heard the thump, thump, thump ofpeople walking in The room above.

We had lovely choices of great fresh fruit juices and variety of western, local, vegan choices. Loved it!

Stayed in December 2024

The price which was about $800 for the night, added with the additional restaurants bills and the animal feeding tour we did, it came out to over $1200 for one night. The stairs in the domain to visit all amenities like the retuarent, the animal cages, the park, etc.. We did not count them, but yo ucan easily get to 1000 stairs across the domain to get to and from your room to everything.

Great location, the domain, the friendliness, the welcomeness, the amenities, the rooms, the hummingbird feeders on the balcony, the hannoc, the jacuzzi on the balcony, great room service which was instant, great service overall in restaurants, the food, the breakfast buffet was amazing, the park with the animals, the easy access to the park with the amazing waterfalls. We could go on and on..

The place is really unique, perfect for a special occasion getaway. Super clean and comfortable, the staff does everything to make sure you're happy. We needed more than one night to truly enjoy everything the place has to offer.
