The Peace Lodge is a beautiful resort with the unique experience of having the wildlife within reach. Tours are offered through the resort to ensure safety and peace of mind when you leave the resort. The rooms are gorgeous and the La Paz Waterfall Gardens are easily accessible from the resort.

The Peace Lodge is a unique experience unlike traditional hotel resorts. Sitting high on the mountain (volcano in the near distance) among the clouds with beautiful grounds, waterfall hikes and access to native animal and bird experiences. Very nature based and eco friendly. Staff was exceptional. Very quiet and peaceful.

The staff in particular was great and made the experience all the more memorable!!!! Special thanks to Byron and Brayan, our servers at the restaurants who were not only extremely knowledgeable about everything Costa Rica but also provided exceptional service, going above and beyond to accommodate every request. Definitely a 6 out of 5 stars for the property and staff. Can’t wait to come back!

What a beautiful place to stay and enjoy all the best things Costa Rica has to offer. Our room was amazing with a hot tub on our back porch overlooking the rainforest and volcano. The bed was very comfortable and we loved the fireplace. I’ve never seen such a wonderful bathroom with waterfall off the wall, rain shower and hot tub. Having animals and amazing waterfalls on the property was icing on the cake. We we wowed our entire time at this resort.
