We stopped to look at Poas Volcano Lodge about 6 weeks ago. The main lodge was completely destroyed by the earthquake and they are rebuilding it. It should be absolutely beautiful when it is done. They do have rooms that they are renting in a separate building, and the junior suites looked like they would be nice, but there is no restaurant on the property, except for breakfast. They recommend going to Colberts, which is very close. We love going to Colberts, and drive up there from the airport area just for lunch. It is a beautiful drive and the food is excellent. You feel like you are eating in France. We bring the homemade French bread and cured ham and good cheeses back and eat it for the rest of the week. They are open every day but Thursday and it's worth the drive.

Poas Lodge is a restaurant/bar and rooms 4km(3miles) from the entrance to Poas National Park & Volcano.
The restaurant always has very good compliments, and the rooms are very clean and comfortable.

Volcanogirl, judging by the description of their location, it doesn't sound like it could be the same. Poas Volcano Lodge had so much damage, I think they are still rebuilding. They are on the other side of La Paz, over toward where the damage was greater.

volcanogirl, your question sent me off to Trip Advisor (checking out the link above). I also did a TA search for Poas Volcano Lodge. Not the same place, owners names are different. Sounds like PVL is up and running, but still under construction. The reason I posted this time is because several of the "reviewers" of Poas Volcano Lodge mentioned eating at Colbert's. I thought the original poster might be interested in reading those reviews.

I want to stay at Peace Lodge again with our granddaughter, she loves it so there. It's such a special place, but danged, the prices just kill us! So hard to justify $600 for 2 nights! That said, if we can fanagle it, we'll probably give it a try again this summer. Just like that terrific swimming pool at Flamingo Beach Resort--it's just a pool, for pity's sake, but it is such a GREAT one! Funny to be all the way down in Costa Rica just to enjoy a pool so very much, yet she talks about it all the time--and we think about it, too.
