Peace Lodge, hotel in Vara Blanca

Offering an indoor pool and a restaurant, Peace Lodge is located a 1-hour drive from San Jose in Vara Blanca. Free WiFi access is available in this lodge.

Everything! The location is beautiful, the grounds kept perfectly, the rooms are incredible, the food and drinks excellent and the service was incomparable. The rainforest trails are wonderful and the conservation efforts (at first we were concerned ir was a zoo but all the animals have been rescued) are inspirational. It was ridiculously expensive but worth every penny.

    Good roads but narrow as usual thru towns.

    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.

    This was a great stopping place for us and is close to La Paz, Poas Volcano, and Doka Coffee Plantation. We stayed here after visiting La Paz Waterfall Gardens (which is worth the cost to visit), and then just had a short drive to Poas the following morning. We only stayed one night, and didn't get to visit the town, but its location is perfect for a stopover while visiting the nearby sites.

    Beautiful grounds to explore, comfy beds, large family room, great breakfast. Hands down the best stay we've had in Costa Rica! We were even greeted by a personalized message inside the room! It is obvious that this hotel goes the extra mile for its guests; we liked it more than our 4-star resorts in Manuel Antonio and Puntarenas. We will definitely be back, and we hope to catch the restaurant open (we stayed during a CR holiday). Very close to La Paz Waterfall Gardens and Poás Volcano.

    Very pleasant highland area stay base with short distances with private car to Poas volcano and La Paz waterfall area. The staff was very pleasant and helpful, some king of personal touch brought to mind old-style country villas in Eastern or Southern Africa - very easy to feel home. Very good birding opportunities on the hotel ground, around the hotel and on the trails. We were sad to leave the place after two nights - it would have been so nice to stay longer.

    Tiquicia Lodge is beautiful and an amazing value for what you experience. The staff is super friendly and accommodating, the rooms are spacious with beautiful views and the food was amazing. The grounds even have a short hiking trail that takes you to a beautiful, small waterfall. Would definitely recommend staying here -- especially if you're heading to La Paz or heading towards La Fortuna.

    This hotel is a heaven on earth. I would definitely recommend it if you are in the area. The rooms are spacious and quite. Breakfast was great but you should also try their dinner menu - everything we tried was delicious. There are many areas in the property where you can enjoy the views and nature. Try their own walking trails on the property!

    If you want to feel pampered and enjoy nature in style - Peace Lodge is the place to go. From the moment we arrived (at 10am) and were greeted with fresh Costa Rican coffee and given a full overview of the park and our room to the time when we sadly had to leave, everything and everyone was world class.

    It’s a beautiful place on the hill. It’s very close to La Paz garden. The staff was very friendly. The breakfast was tasty. The dining area was very nice. The cabinet was cute and cozy with privacy. And you can park your car in front of the cabin.
