Acogedor y entorno espectacular
Pros:

Acogedor, cómodo, el entorno es bellísimo, dormir escuchando el sonido del río fue una experiencia maravillosa. Los senderos fueron agradables de caminar y la catarata Fátima fue la más impresionante. Definitivamente el nombre es muy acertado, es un lugar donde se siente mucha paz.

Pros:

The property is amazing. Many great hiking trails. We enjoyed greatly watching coatis and agoutis in the morning and came upon 3 collared peccarys on one walk. The staff is kind and helpful. The food was good. We also greatly enjoyed the hummingbirds. One afternoon (because my phone case is red) a dozen or so hummingbirds perched on my phone, head, arms and hovered inches from my face. One briefly checked for nectar up my nose!

Cons:

Would have appreciated heat in the room. It was very cold. We did have lots of blankets.

Heavy rainfall!

Wonderful place to disconnect
Pros:

We loved how peaceful and secluded this place is. Mario treated us really well and showed us a lot of different animals and gave us great local tips. The food was also excellent and home made. Rooms are spacious and clean!
You have several paths leading from the property to the forest.

THE place to see hummingbirds!
Pros:

We had the most amazing stay and the staff (thank you Mario in particular!) couldn't have been more accommodating of our photography needs! The place is teeming with wildlife which was the reason for our stay: hundreds of hummingbirds around the feeders along with many other spacial sightings in and around the lodge including a quetzal exceeded our expectations by far! Our room was very (very!) spacious with the most comfortable bed we've had during our time in Costa Rica (it wasn't "extra firm" like most others...)

Cons:

Really struggling to find something here to be honest, the place could be signposted a bit better along the road I guess, that would have been reassuring during the drive on the very steep, winding road that led us there in the fog. We even drove past it the first time as the gate was closed when we arrived (although to be fair there is a big sign at the actual entrance gate, it just didn't look like an entrance to a lodge to us, but that was our mistake and we were greeted as soon as we came up to the gate).

A wonderful place to forget everything and experience nature.
Pros:

Excellent place. Beautiful sight and the personal and owners are very kind and helpful.

Cons:

It is not easy to get to the place, for Costa Rica has a difficult terrain, and Bosques de Paz is right in the middle of a forrest.
