We stayed at the Peace Lodge during the last night of a weeklong trip to Costa Rica and thoroughly enjoyed it. I booked knowing that some of the attractions were not yet open, and consequently, the hotel was running a special which included some tours and reduced-price massages, so I figured the tradeoff was worth it. We were shocked driving... more

Even though they are still recovering from the earthquake in Jan 2009, this hotel is definitely worth the trip. The deluxe rooms have TWO jacuzzis with background waterfalls, a shower that turns into a waterfall, a canopy bed and fireplace. Its within a nature reserve with all kinds of animal, panthers, frogs, monkeys, hummingbirds (that you can feed out of... more

We stayed at this hotel for 2 nights during our honeymon. We were dissapointed to see that the trout bar and lake was closed, 3/4 of the trails are closed and the biggest of the waterfalls is inaccessable. The staff at peace lodge is excellent and they do their best to make you feel home and relax, but this does... more

We just returned from a wonderful trip at the Peace Lodge. The hotel has only recently reopened and some of the rooms are still not back in service. This did not cause any interruption in our fun. In fact, since there were so few people there we felt we had the entire hotel and La Paz Waterfall Gardens to ourselves.... more

My wife and I stayed at the Peace Lodge in August 2009 while celebrating our honeymoon. Out of all the places we stayed in Costa Rica, we left the Peace Lodge not quite knowing how to characterize it and for that matter not sure whether we should recommend it to others. It has some major upsides and some annoying downsides;... more

We were the first guests to check in after the re-opening in July. I was traveling with my wife and kids ages 15, 11, 6 and 2. During the drive in from the San Jose area you can see the destruction from the January earthquake. As we got closer to the lodge the roads and devastation kept getting worse. Once... more

As noted in previous reviews, the rooms are amazing. I never thought I could take such an interest in bathrooms, but they are amazing. The pools were fun and the restaurant delicious. The grounds could not have been more interesting, with beautiful gardening and exhibits. The waterfall hikes were fun. The only minus is that the park is still 1/3... more

We arrived late our first night and knew we had found paradise! I have to start out by saying that they just re-opened the Lodge the week we were there. The Earthquake in January damaged much of the area. Due to the damage the hotel suffered there are currently some things that are not open such as the Trout bar... more

The peace lodge is an incredibly beautiful resort. My wife and I stayed there in early July for one night. I can see why people say such great things, and honestly if the resort was fully restored from the earthquake damage I would say nothing bad about this place. But the fact remains that the entire area was destroyed by... more

My husband and I stayed at the Peace Lodge the last night of our honeymoon. Our reception was very pleasant. The gentleman at the front desk walked us to our deluxe room (the Papillo) and showed us how to work all the controls around the room including the surround sound stereo, the gas fireplace, the waterfall in the bathroom, and... more
