The Peace Lodge is an incredible property. The rooms are like nothing you’ve ever seen - the design and thought put into the construction is beyond compare. It’s like something designed by Gaudi. We stayed two nights and enjoyed all of the animals, the waterfalls, the beautiful pools and hot tubs, and our room. The bathrooms are awe inspiring. My only small criticism is the beds, although beautiful, are on the stiffer side. May be common in Costa Rica though.

Absolutely loved our stay. Staff was amazing and attentive. The grounds are open to people staying after the park closes so it was nice to explore. They offer animal interaction feeding for a reasonable price per the room regardless of number of people, which was great! Had free fishing on grounds which kids loved. Dinning was great. Enjoyed our stay.

I always love staying at this property. It is a paradise dream and I love waking up to the birds saluting the rising Sun. This is my third time staying here at this property. This round I brought my 6 year old nephew who completely loved the animals and the waterfall trails and everything. I always recommend this property to everyone who is planning a visit to Costa Rica.

Wow!!
Exceeded our expectations. Literally felt like a private resort with no one on the waterfall trails and even the gardens were sparsely populated after they closed to the general public. We plan to come back without the kids in the near future.
