We have no words to describe the magical experience in the Peace lodge. Amazing views, lovely hottub on the terrace as well as an exceptional bathroom. Access to the resort's La Paz Waterfall Garden is included so you even get to enjoy it outside openinghours and the extensive Garden is on itself already worth a visit. Very clean. Good food on multiple locations. Very helpfull staff. Worth its price, for sure.

The hotel is located 7 minutes from the entrance to the nature reserve (Nacional Volcán Poás) so when we landed in San Jose we drove straight to it from the airport. The place is very quiet and the room was very nicely decorated! Unfortunately we stayed at this hotel only one night.

This was such a beautiful accommodation in a fabulous location for accessing Poas National Park. We loved the cosiness of the tent, the outside seating area and the beautiful setting too. It was really well equipped with great attention to detail. Excellent communication with the host and a hot shower too!

Good roads but narrow as usual thru towns. Different landscape with the farms and greenhouses and coffee plantations in rolling hills. Waterfalls. Loved the drifting clouds coming up the valleys in the evening. Cool evenings and warm days.

We went to La Paz Waterfall gardens and it was an amazing place. You could easily spend an entire day there. Also the area is known for strawberries. We bought some from a roadside stand and they were delicious.

The waterfalls of La Paz, the volcano, the landscapes—everything is beautiful. There are towns to visit that I didn't have time for. The food is delicious, like grandma's cooking. It's easy to get around by car; there's no good bus service, and Ubers are few and far between. It's a beautiful place, but for tourists, it's too expensive for what it is, or rather, they charge foreigners more just for being tourists.

We only had one day, but we visited La Paz Park, which I can 100% recommend, even though $57 per person is a lot of money. Lots of animals, beautiful waterfalls, a good lunch buffet – you can easily spend a whole day there.

Good location, good food but restaurant very cold in November. Rooms and particular beds very comfortable and showers good and hot. Bedrooms bit too cold in November. We appreciated the walking trails and the loan of wellie boots by the hotel as trail was very muddy. Good location for boating volcano.

This felt like a very special place. Everyone has their own cabin with fire place should you need to warm up. There’s a long walk you can do through the jungle from the hotel which was really nice. The staff were really helpful when it came to getting taxis around, but a lot easier here to have a car.
