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. ##### Kim Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Juan Nicolas Sep 19, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort A heavenly place ##### Juan Nicolas Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lindy Mar 8, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The grounds, nature ##### Lindy Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Massey Apr 10, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Read the reviews so we expected it to be great.

We had been travelingb in Costa Rica for 2 weeks and had not gotten close enough to a Toucan or Sloth for a good photo. We saw both and so many more birds and animals. The waterfalls were beautiful too! ##### Britani Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Trent Oct 9, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Most beautiful place in costa rica The service was so personal it felt like we were part of their family. We were greeted by friendly staff who immediately took our bags while we checked in. We received private tours to the volcano and waterfalls which are amazing. We got to see and feed some amazing animals. The guides are very knowledgeable and friendly. The rooms are spacious and very comfortable. The views from the room are breathtaking. The lodge is pricey but worth every bit of it. The food the atmosphere all the activities that they offer make this lodge a one of a kind. We spent two weeks and traveled from the Caribbean to the pacific and this was our most favorite place. Would definitely come back ##### Trent Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Donald Feb 7, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities This Property was Amazing! The hot tubs in the apartment were very nice to have with the cool climate, the fishing posd was very fun with nice sized trout. Feeding the animals, this is a must to get a close look at Sloth, hummingbirds, and Tucans. The outside hot tubs were very unique and in Very Beautiful spots! The only part that I didnt care the most for personally, was the dinner. Going to different countries, I love to have the local cuisines, the dinner was an expensive meal, it was good, but i just like local foods. I would still give what they had a 5 star rating, the waiters were attentive, and the food was out in a Very timely manner! ##### Donald Stayed 1 night in Feb 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Bobra May 11, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities We stayed here for only two nights for my birthday, as we wanted to splurge a bit. This is a gorgeous, very well manicured 5-star resort. Upon arrival, we were upgraded to a higher level room for my birthday, so that front desk staff knew how to make an impression. The room was crazy amazing fabulous. Look at their website pics as they are very accurate. Expedia includes two tours when booking, so we got a fabulous night frog tour, and a half-day personalized tour of their wildlife sanctuary - Guide MICHAEL WAS AWESOME. We also participated in the butterfly release, which we will remember forever! The downside was the dinner restaurant (only one). The menu was super Americanized, and they were out of the one local fish! The first night took forever to get served, and they brought our appetizer, salad, and main dish all at once. The second night was my birthday, and although the server offered me a free dessert for my birthday, when they brought it, there was no candle, no offer to sing, no extra decoration on the plate, and no wishing me a happy birthday. I'm a little surprised by this as it was contrary to the front desk staff. Hey, Lee Banks, please train your restaurant staff to make a bigger deal of of birthdays. Also, put some more Costa Rican items on the menu! The food was VERY good for both breakfast (not included) and dinner, and beautifully plated. If you don't mind the price, don't miss this beautiful property, and ask for Michael as your guide! ##### Bobra Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Holly Jul 7, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities This was our second time at the Peace Lodge and we loved it just as much as the first time. The lodge is beautiful and the rooms are incredible. Hot tub on the balcony? Yes please! Each and every staff member went out of their way to make our stay enjoyable. Special thanks to Pablo, Michael, Daniel and Jose who went above and beyond to make us happy. We could not have had a better experience. The area is breathtaking and the weather, while unpredictable, was a nice break from the heat of Florida. We brought our two kids (10 and 13) and they enjoyed the animal sanctuary many times. We visited the animals every day, hiked to the waterfalls, and even arranged to visit the Poas volcano with a private tour guide. The food was amazing and beautifully plated each time. If you can, catch a trout in the pond and they will cook it for you right there and then! Please take advantage of the animal tours, the restaurants and even the gift shop. We can't wait to come back and see our "friends." ##### Holly Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Makanda by the Sea](https://www.expedia.ca/Quepos-Hotels-Makanda-By-The-Sea.h2328562.Hotel-Information) > > [The Coast Beachfront Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Tamarindo-Hotels-The-Coast-Beachfront-Hotel.h18530265.Hotel-Information) > > [JW Marriott Guanacaste Resort and Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Tamarindo-Hotels-JW-Marriott-Guanacaste-Resort-And-Spa.h2190860.Hotel-Information) > > [Rio Perdido Hotel & Thermal River](https://www.expedia.ca/Fortuna-Hotels-Rio-Perdido-Hotel-Thermal-River.h6371123.Hotel-Information) > > [Nosara Beach Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Nosara-Hotels-Nosara-Beach-Hotel.h32722062.Hotel-Information) > > [Wyndham Tamarindo](https://www.expedia.ca/Tamarindo-Hotels-Wyndham-Tamarindo.h10356916.Hotel-Information) > > [Villas Playa Samara Beach Front Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Samara-Hotels-Villas-Playa-Samara-Beach-Front-Resort.h888268.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Tamarindo Diria Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Tamarindo-Hotels-Hotel-Tamarindo-Diria-Beach-Resort.h1108151.Hotel-Information) > > [Lost Iguana Resort and Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Lost-Iguana-Resort-And-Spa.h1174121.Hotel-Information) > > [MARAVIDA Boutique Hotel & Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Tamarindo-Hotels-Best-Western-Tamarindo-Vista-Villas.h901274.Hotel-Information) > > [Botanika Osa Peninsula Resort, Curio Collection by Hilton](https://www.expedia.ca/Puerto-Jimenez-Hotels-Botanika-Osa-Peninsula.h69305784.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Garden Inn Guanacaste Airport](https://www.expedia.ca/Liberia-Hotels-Hilton-Garden-Inn-Liberia-Airport.h2211738.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Heliconias Nature Inn & Hot Springs](https://www.expedia.ca/Penas-Blancas-Hotels-Heliconias-Nature-Lodge.h8386216.Hotel-Information) > > [Bodhi Tree Yoga Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Nosara-Hotels-Bodhi-Tree-Yoga-Resort.h10650362.Hotel-Information) > > [Lapa Rios Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Puerto-Jimenez-Hotels-Lapa-Rios-Lodge.h1447895.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Hacienda Guachipelin](https://www.expedia.ca/Curubande-Hotels-Hotel-Hacienda-Guachipelin.h1122531.Hotel-Information) > > [Refugio Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Tamarindo-Hotels-Surf-House.h84012769.Hotel-Information) > > [Blue River Resort & Hot Springs](https://www.expedia.ca/Guayabo-Hotels-Blue-River-Resort-Hot-Springs.h3969358.Hotel-Information) > > [Best Western Jaco Beach All-Inclusive Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Jaco-Hotels-Best-Western-Jaco-Beach-All-Inclusive-Resort.h54703.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Boutique Casa Del Rio](https://www.expedia.ca/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Casa-Del-Rio.h27603041.Hotel-Information) > > [Borinquen Thermal Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Canas-Dulces-Hotels-Borinquen-Thermal-Resort.h1155801.Hotel-Information) > > [Jardín del Edén Boutique Hotel - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.ca/Tamarindo-Hotels-Jardin-Del-Eden-Boutique-Hotel-Adults-Only.h2818928.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Magic Mountain SPA & Conference center](https://www.expedia.ca/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Hotel-Magic-Mountain-SPA-Conference-Center.h1636277.Hotel-Information) > > [Azura Beach Resort - All Inclusive - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.ca/Samara-Hotels-Azura-Beach-Resort-All-Inclusive-Adults-Only.h20586535.Hotel-Information) > > [Arenal Observatory Lodge & Trails](https://www.expedia.ca/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Arenal-Observatory-Lodge-Spa.h11820519.Hotel-Information) > > [Kura Boutique Hotel Member of the Cayuga Collection](https://www.expedia.ca/Dominical-Hotels-Kura-Boutique-Hotel.h5637504.Hotel-Information) > > [The Retreat Costa Rica - Wellness Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Atenas-Hotels-The-Retreat-Costa-Rica-Wellness-Resort-Spa.h10447279.Hotel-Information) > > [The Gilded Iguana Surf Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Nosara-Hotels-The-Gilded-Iguana-Surf-Hotel.h22186079.Hotel-Information) > > [Crocs Resort & Casino](https://www.expedia.ca/Jaco-Hotels-Crocs-Resort-Casino.h8741357.Hotel-Information)
