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

Peace Lodge was one of the most beautiful places I have ever stayed. Yes, the bathrooms are a "BIT" Disney, but hey - that made it even better. I don't agree that the place was tacky. What better than to relax in a jacuzzi surrounded by lush plants and waterfalls. The staff were lovely, always had a pleasant smile, and... more

My husband and I stayed here for two nights and it far surpasses anywhere I've ever stayed worldwide!!! The rooms and furnishings are georgous and beautifully decorated. The balconies have hot tubs - awesome! It is such a peaceful and wonderful place. The staff was great - accomodating and very friendly. As a guest of the hotel, you have full... more

We were booked at the Peace Lodge for 3 nights over the weekend of January 17 - 19, following a Windstar cruise along the Pacific coast of Costa Rica. Unfortunately, on January 8 there was a major earthquake in Costa Rica (6.2 Richter), with the epicenter located in the Poas' volcano region, very close to the La Paz Waterfall Gardens,... more

Pros: Beautiful natural setting, and native wildlife exhibits were worth a look. Cons: Horrible service, over-priced, bad restaurant, uncomfortable rooms. My wife and I spent two nights here on our honeymoon in late November '08. When we first arrived we were hopeful that the hotel would prove to be as romantic and exotic as its natural surroundings. Unfortunately, our experience... more

I planned to write review but was tied up, and now I do it with tears on my eyes. Me, my husband and our friends travelled a lot, but have never seen anything to even come close. To say nothing about great service, tasty food. We stayed only one night and made plans to return next year for 3 nights... more

Just returned from a 2 night stay at Peace Lodge. We reserved a deluxe room and where not disappointed. The bathroom was amazing with 2 waterfalls and Jacuzzi tub. There is also a diffuser in the bathroom which they offer 4 scents to choose from to fill your bathroom with beautiful aromas. There was also another Jacuzzi out on the... more

We ended our 9 day trip to Costa Rica at the Peace Lodge. The service was very good. We had heard only raves and had expected it to be the perfect finale to our perfect trip. Many people will like the theme park atmosphere of the rooms. Felt a bit like the flintstones. Fake waterfall showers and jacuzzis made of... more

We stayed at the Peace Lodge the 16th through the 18th of November. We got there a couple hours before check-in, which was not a problem as we were allowed to lock out bags up at the desk while we hiked the waterfall trail. The wife was even given a complimentary chair massage while I filled out the paperwork for... more
