They had amazing access to wildlife. 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!

Great property, staff was amazing. The room was spacious and comfortable. We arrived late for check in, the restaurants where already close. They had some sandwiches prepared for us so we won’t have to sleep with hunger. Amazing surroundings, the waterfalls, the mini zoo, just beautiful! Would definitely stay again!

The Peace Lodge is such a wonderful place to stay. I absolutely love everything about the room, bathroom and the outside balcony. The La Paz waterfall reserve is a great place to explore. This is my go to spot everytime I come to Costa Rica.
