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.

    We loved the location in the mountains with a great view and away from the humidity and bugs. It felt like an authentic Costa Rican experience as the house was until recently used as a local family home, so it wasn’t built just for tourists. The kitchen was equipped with everything needed to cook meals. The owner Tomas was very helpful and interesting to hear him talk about giving back to the community and trying to live more simple and preserve the environment.

    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.

    This a very beautiful hotel with grand view and a fancy bathroom. Humming birds are buzzing around the balcony and even got into our room. The evening frog tour is a must go. Parblo, the tour guide was exceptional helpful and knowledgeable. He showed us many different frog species and associated the guests who wanted to take photos. In the morning you can walk into the la Paz waterfall garden from the hotel before of the outside guests.

    It is very nice place! Our room was very nice with full bathroom (hot water) and nice view from the window. There is a restaurant on the second floor which is very convenient. Also, there is a nice trail in the back of the property with great view on the sunrise (if you lucky) and the trail to the farm animals that are pettable. Poas National Park is about 20 minutes from the hotel and the Waterfalls - about 7 minutes.

    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.

    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.
