Hotel La Paz, hotel in Vara Blanca

Located just outside the Poas Volcano National Park, Hotel La Paz offers a popular churrasco steak restaurant. The functional rooms and bungalows have free Wi-Fi and garden views.

Amazing staff, great location. Attached is a really good restaurant. I even got a better room than I had booked (quieter) for no extra charge. They have parking onsite. Close to everything in town and Poas National Park. Even if only for one night, I would skip the city of San Jose/Alajuela and come here instead!

Los Gallitos Eco Lodge, hotel in Vara Blanca

Offering an outdoor pool surrounded by green gardens and views of the mountain, Los Gallitos Eco Lodge is set in San Miguel in the Alajuela Region. San José is 63 km away.

this is a very special place. it is perfect for nature lovers, it is quiet and located within a lush and maintained surrounding with a huge communal nice space with a porch where you can watch a variety of birds that we didn't even see in reserves. there is a kitchen that you can freely use and attractions around like the poas volcan and del toro falls. the host is a lovely person who is more than willing to help with whatever you need from finding attractions around to helping with coffee making and instructions to watch the wildlife. don't expect a fancy cabin but a basic and clean one, also there is great wifi around the whole property. the pictures do not do this place justice! and if we ever visit Costa Rica again we are sure to pay a visit to this charming place

Super handy for the airport : easy access, no need to go into SJ, and Nadine can arrange car rental from the property. Food shops an easy taxi ride away for eating in although Nadine also has a set dinner available if needed. Would return without hesitation

    We have no words to describe the magical experience in the Peace lodge. Amazing views, lovely hottub on the terrace as well as an exceptional bathroom. Access to the resort's La Paz Waterfall Garden is included so you even get to enjoy it outside openinghours and the extensive Garden is on itself already worth a visit. Very clean. Good food on multiple locations. Very helpfull staff. Worth its price, for sure.

    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.

    The location is great, there are hummingbirds flying around which is beautiful. They waited an extra hour for us for check-in which was really nice. The lodges are unique, quiet and peaceful.
