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.

    Great stop on our way from SJO to Arenal (only an hour from the airport - immediate transition into tranquility). The lodge was stunning with so many lovely sitting rooms and views. We were there with our parents and 1.5 year old son and there was a nice play area on the lower level (many stairs and delicate items for a 1.5 year old so little kids definitely require constant attention if you're up for it!). Breakfast and dinner were delicious. Only 15 minutes from La Paz so we got there early and beat the crowds.

    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.

    Probably top 5 hotels in my personal list. Excellent indoor and balcony jacuzzi, properly heated pool, very private territory and special wooden bracelets and the guest name by the door to emphasise the level👌. The reception guys we very helpful and helped us to purchase Poas Volcano tickets as well as getting some cash. They even got a cake with the candles for the birthday. The waterfalls garden is just no words. Fantastic trail with a shuttle back.

    Loved the views, as it describes, it truly is panoramic! Very spectacular views all around the property. The host, Tomas was exceptional in all aspects; with such warmth, we truly felt at home. He went above and beyond in ensuring our stay was comfortable and even ensured our onwards journey is taken care of, in terms of providing key insights and tips of where to eat, etc for the best experience for our very first Costa Rica trip.

    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!

    Casa Volcano is in a lovely location. It is an nice representation of life in Costa Rica on a working farm. Our host, Tomas, was very warm and helpful in every way. We had all of the amenities that we needed and the location was just right for our needs.

    The solitude was amazing. The hummingbirds were enchanting. The staff was amazingly helpful, helping me find a cab and the Waterfall Gardens down the road. The gardens here are very well maintained, someone loves their gardens!
