Peace Lodge

Amazing resort you have humming birds visiting you at your room the animals are kept in beautiful natural looking habitats. lots and lots of activities to do night frog sightseeing of frogs. night fishing, warm pools, spa, really good restaurants, service is incomparable, people is trained to really help and be nice to guests. the walk to the waterfalls is prestige and amazing things to be fixed... More seating areas near the pools, better prices at the souvenir shops prices are crazy a bag of chocolates 14 us dollars!!! Lots and lots of noises from motorvycles from the main road it kills the mood of the hotel.

We stayed for two nights at the Peace Lodge with our eight-year-old son based on enthusiastic recommendation by my brother and sister-in-law. This special place definitely lived up to the hype! First, we got an unexpected room upgrade, which meant that our bathroom had a waterfall which was a really cool feature. The whole room design feels lush, from the jacuzzi bath on the balcony (where hummingbirds may join!) to the cozy fireplace to the comfortable beds. As for activities-our son greatly enjoyed learning how to fish for the first time in the trout pond, and the staff were very kind and patient and he caught (and released) several. We did the waterfalls hike, which took about an hour, and this was a beautiful site to see on the property. And of course, the main highlight was being able to see a variety animals up close (toucans, spider monkeys, ocelot, jaguar, etc) and the most memorable was being able to be just a foot away from the two sloths, something that would be rare in the wild. I was hesitant about the animals being exploited, but it seems that the Costa Rican government has allowed the Peace Lodge to have these animals which have been rescued and can’t be in the wild for various reasons. The dinners at the one restaurant on site were pretty good (not amazing, but above being just fine) and the service was very friendly. Breakfast was good too, but just know prices reflect on the medium/high side (entrees for dinner ranged from $20-60). The only downside, was the pool was pretty small, but other than that, everything else was delightful. In my opinion, two nights is a perfect amount of time to stay here to fully enjoy everything before getting bored. If you’re looking for a unique place to splurge and stay with your family as part of a visit to Costa Rica, we suggest going here if you can!

Peace Lodge is a must visit if you come to Costa Rica. They have everything right there that you want to see when you come to CR. The rescue center on site has so many great animals and the guides are very knowlegable. You can see big cats being fed. You can carry the Toucans on your arms. The lodge is beautiful. I loved the fireplace and the bathroom was spectacular. The high to see five different waterfalls also completes the stay. I will definitely be back.

This is a beautiful property, and provides excellent service. Definitely my favorite part of our Costa Rica trip.

Gorgeous property. Excellent staff. Great for families.

Outstanding accommodation. Rooms are beautiful with lots of wood, stained glass, and so much more. Hot tub, shower, bath tub. Room was very clean and well stocked; nice view from the deck. Rather quiet, too. Lodge has great restaurants and grounds. It is steep. There are lots of stairs and you are at a modest elevation.
