This property was amazing! We were met at reception with a tropical welcome drink. The views were incredible from their deck. The staff was incredibly accommodating. Our room's bathroom was as large as the actual sleeping area. It included a huge shower PLUS a normal sized shower, a two-person jetted tub/jacuzzi, and our own personal indoor waterfall. Unlike some places in CR, you are able to flush toilet paper here. Our balcony had another two-person hot tub, a table, and a hammock in addition to our own well-visited hummingbird feeder. The views from the balcony were breathtaking. Our two children stayed with us, and the staff set up two separate roll-away beds that felt like part of the room. Our room also had a personal fireplace. The animal sanctuary on site was one of the best experiences we had for the duration of our CR vacation. That was partly thanks to the exceptional service of John, one of the staff members. He is the one who picked us up from the airport and drove us to the property (additional fee) and gave us private tours on the property. We signed up for both the nighttime frog tour (so cool! and John showed us all the frogs up close, including teaching us how to croak at one of the toads so it would respond) and the early-morning animal feeding. John guided us in feeding the toucans, the sloth, and the hummingbirds. At every step, he offered to take pictures and suggested the best ways to pose for memorable shots. Book at least two nights. 10/10

Peace lodge was very beautiful . It has so much to offer with feeding the animals they rescued to enjoying the beautiful waterfalls right on the property. The only downfall of mine was they don't have air or a ceiling fan but overall it was a great joy staying here .

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.

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.
