Rooms and villas are modern and comfortable, with some spacious layouts and private pools, and guests often enjoy wildlife sightings around the pool and grounds. Common drawbacks include high food and transport prices, occasional maintenance or service lapses, limited access or scheduling for wellness classes, and a rocky beach without chairs though sunsets are popular. Expect a tranquil, nature-forward stay near Tamarindo with boutique comforts and a relaxed pace.

Charmant petit hôtel à l'écart de la foule de Tamarindo, le trajet en taxi coûte 5 dollars jusqu'au centre donc c'est pratique. Plage agréable pour le sunset, un cocktail est offert tous les soirs pour en profiter. La plage est à une minute à pied par un charmant petit chemin. La baignade est sportive mais la plage est souvent déserte. Personnel très sympathique. Petit bémol sur le choix dans les restaurants, la carte est identique le midi et le soir.

We had a wonderful stay. There was an issue with an air-conditioning unit which was fixed quickly and efficiently. The villa's private pools were lovely. The hotel pool kept us entertained with the monkeys in the trees above our heads. Great buffet breakfast included which set us up for the day.

The property is beautiful and the staff extremely friendly and helpful. The food was outstanding. There is a happy hour at the beach that we did not find out about until late in our stay. We had a power outage and loss of hot water during out stay that were quickly remedied but surprising. The only real disappointment was the lack of access to yoga and fitness classes that we had looked forward to. The space for this was taken over by a private yoga retreat and no alternative location was provided.

Beautiful small resort with dense jungle paths and lovely pool. Serene and very eco-friendly. Food was amazing and made from scratch with organic, plant-forward ingredients and fresh fish. Vegan options. Staff was great. Our king room was huge with double rain head showers. Beach is a very short walk past the pool, but small with rocks. Can easily walk to better beaches though. $5 ride into Tamarindo or walkable. If you want to be away from the busyness of Tamarindo, like we did, it's a great option. Already miss the food and the monkeys! Best green salad ever!

This is a wonderful property with very good amenities. For us, a perfect location close enough to Tamarindo but without the crowds. The grounds were very tropical and the pool a welcome respite from the unusual heat during our visit. The beach is only a short walk away and for us a nice mix of rock and sand. The restaurant was very good and the seafood fresh. The overall experience, however, was spoiled by a night-long power outage that resulted in no A/C or fan for the whole night. Miserable end to a nice visit. We paid for three nights and the hotel fell short of delivering.

Beautiful property with rooms interspersed within the natural flora of the area. We spotted multiple monkeys within the trees during our stay. Our room was spacious and very clean, with great air conditioning and hot water. There were a few bugs in the room throughout the stay, but this is a trade-off for being in such a natural setting. Similarly, the pool tended to have natural debris on the surface and could be skimmed more frequently, but was still enjoyable. The hotel is just steps from the beach and there is a complimentary cocktail every night at sunset. I got the signature 90 minute holistic massage which was incredibly relaxing. The hotel is a short drive or a 15 minute walk into town, so the location was great to be away from the noise but still accessible.

We had such an enjoyable experience here since the moment we arrived. The property was beautiful, the food/drinks in the restaurant were so amazing, our massage at the spa was great as well. I love the quick and easy private beach access. We swam in the pool and got to watch the monkeys play above us in the trees for about a hour. Transportation to town was quick and they were very accommodating. We originally had an excursion booked through trip advisor and decided to cancel it and book the same one through the hotel for about $100 more and we were so glad we did! It was basically a private tour and our tour guide was absolutely amazing.

My wife and I stayed for 5 nights. We were looking for a nice small hotel experience with attention to detail. Cala Luna lived up to our expectations. The staff was excellent and were always aware if we needed something, but also left us alone if we didnt. They were always keeping the area clean and tidy. We loved the massage treatment, which was like nothing we had experienced before. We tried yoga ( which we are inexperienced at) but she made us feel so welcome. We were pleasantly surprised how close the ocean was, just down a private pathway. A nice walk along the beach to Tamarindo (as long as the tide is out) or another option is a safe walk on the sidewalks down into town (15 mins). The whole area is very pet friendly. Dogs on the beach and cats at the hotel. Our airport shuttle driver Hugo, from the hotel, was so kind, he even serenaded us with a lovely Costa Rican song. We would most definitely come again.

Cala Luna is a wonderful choice if looking to stay in the Tamarindo area! It’s not right in the heart, so you are away from the hustle and bustle of the city but also generally close. We walked most times, about a 10-15 minute walk or a 5 minute bike right (free bikes for use). The staff was absolutely wonderful. I had a 90 minute spa treatment from Priscilla and I can’t recommend her enough, she was amazing. We did a fishing charter and the chef cooked up our fresh mahi mahi. We are thinking about exploring getting married at this place! Such a peaceful vibe, very clean rooms and attentive staff. Can’t recommend enough!

- **Room Issues:** There was no hot water in my room for two days, and the air conditioning didn’t work upon my arrival, taking nearly two hours to repair. - **Mosquito Control:** Unlike other resorts I’ve visited in the Caribbean and Mexico, Cala Luna did not have outdoor mosquito repellent incense lit up during meals, which would have enhanced the dining experience. Additionally, I discovered that there was a trash area just meters away from my room. Hotel workers mentioned that this contributed to an increased infestation of spiders, insects, and mosquitoes, amplifying the issue and making it difficult to enjoy the outdoor spaces. Occasionally, the odor was really pungent. - **Checkout Process:** The checkout process was frustrating, with multiple computing errors causing a delay of over 30 minutes.

Hotel was nice and just 30sec walk to the beach. Staff were super friendly and helpful. Location is about 20min walk from town or <5min drive, but they also have a shuttle service for about $6 each way which was well worth it. The only issue we had was with the standing water in our tub that the hotel staff did not come fix, but otherwise, the property was well kept. The food was a bit pricey on the property, but the quality was pretty good.

Cala Luna is a beautifully put together property. Compact and comprehensive. The staff is wonderful. Our dinners were terrific. I had a good massage. Our room 301 sometimes had an odor of waste, I suspect we were near their disposal. Other rooms are probably fine. For a tropical local the lack fruit at breakfast was noticeable to customers.

They dont believe in thresholds for the entrance doors. There were pleny of bugs including a hand size spider in the kitchen. It was so large I had to kill it with a chair leg. There was no way I could sleep in this beutiful condo with the bugs and big gaps in the entrance doors. The large spider was the last straw. The entrance roads were unpaved. Potholes big enough to damage your car. Cala Luna is a great place if you dont care about large spiders and many other sa\\ma;; pests that you can hear when you sleep. I left and booked at another place after I killed that whopper spider. Whoh!!!

Me, my wife and son had a great time at Cala Luna. Its a unique setup indeed, with paths snaking through the jungle en-route to your room or villa. We arrived at night and it was rather impressive. The staff were friendly, professional and very attentive. The chefs/cooks are top notch. We had a secluded deluxe room which was really nice and private(until other guests arrived in the adjoining room). It was very clean with a soaker tub you can skate board in. The room isn't that large but was fine for us. Only small issue was the fact that there was a room attached and we could hear through the walls easily if you have loud neighbors. This was only for the last night before we left in the morning so I think they schedule the guests in a manner to help avoid this which was appreciated. The cleaning staff was very efficient. The beach was a short fun walk down a path at the rear near our room. We saw howler monkeys overhead, an eagle/hawk?(lol), and some other wildlife withing the hotel grounds. you might hear some action on your roof at night :). probably why you cant open the room windows. The hotel is in an awesome location, the perfect distance from the action to get peaceful nights and close enough to get the center of it all in minutes. Next time I think we will stay in one of the 2 bedroom villas they have with a private pool, private parking and separate entrance. I highly recommend Cala Luna. Pua Vida!

We had a wonderful stay. There was an issue with an air-conditioning unit which was fixed quickly and efficiently. The villa's private pools were lovely. The hotel pool kept us entertained with the monkeys in the trees above our heads. Great buffet breakfast included which set us up for the day.

Cala Luna was a cute boutique hotel. The service was amazing, the food at the restaurant, highly recommend and the layout respected the landscape. However, for the price compared to other places we went to in Costa Rica, this property was way overpriced. First the rooms though comfy didn't have much storage space and if you had another guest next door, you can hear everything. We had one guy snoring next door to us and watching TV at 3am making it a challenge to sleep. Also, when we went it was low season with only 26 guests so they adjusted the options for breakfast, which was okay for us. If you get this place for $300 CDN then okay, but your high end experience will not be that of Tamarindo Diria or Westin. For comparison, for 4 nights it was $2000 CDN and that was down season.

Beautiful property with rooms interspersed within the natural flora of the area. We spotted multiple monkeys within the trees during our stay. Our room was spacious and very clean, with great air conditioning and hot water. There were a few bugs in the room throughout the stay, but this is a trade-off for being in such a natural setting. Similarly, the pool tended to have natural debris on the surface and could be skimmed more frequently, but was still enjoyable. The hotel is just steps from the beach and there is a complimentary cocktail every night at sunset. I got the signature 90 minute holistic massage which was incredibly relaxing. The hotel is a short drive or a 15 minute walk into town, so the location was great to be away from the noise but still accessible.

This is our 3rd time staying at Cala Luna and we absolutely love it! It gets better each time we return! The rooms are so incredibly lovely, the howler monkeys surrounding the property are a delight but above all the staff is the best! Especially in the restaurant and bars - they are so incredibly welcoming and nice! Andres the bartender is a true mixologist (you have to try his mezcal cocktails)! The beds are so comfortable and it’s a one minute walk to a not crowded beach! The room are well thought out with great detail! We will absolutely come back again!

Me, my wife and son had a great time at Cala Luna. Its a unique setup indeed, with paths snaking through the jungle en-route to your room or villa. We arrived at night and it was rather impressive. The staff were friendly, professional and very attentive. The chefs/cooks are top notch. We had a secluded deluxe room which was really nice and private(until other guests arrived in the adjoining room). It was very clean with a soaker tub you can skate board in. The room isn't that large but was fine for us. Only small issue was the fact that there was a room attached and we could hear through the walls easily if you have loud neighbors. This was only for the last night before we left in the morning so I think they schedule the guests in a manner to help avoid this which was appreciated. The cleaning staff was very efficient. The beach was a short fun walk down a path at the rear near our room. We saw howler monkeys overhead, an eagle/hawk?(lol), and some other wildlife withing the hotel grounds. you might hear some action on your roof at night :). probably why you cant open the room windows. The hotel is in an awesome location, the perfect distance from the action to get peaceful nights and close enough to get the center of it all in minutes. Next time I think we will stay in one of the 2 bedroom villas they have with a private pool, private parking and separate entrance. I highly recommend Cala Luna. Pua Vida!

- **Room Issues:** There was no hot water in my room for two days, and the air conditioning didn’t work upon my arrival, taking nearly two hours to repair. - **Mosquito Control:** Unlike other resorts I’ve visited in the Caribbean and Mexico, Cala Luna did not have outdoor mosquito repellent incense lit up during meals, which would have enhanced the dining experience. Additionally, I discovered that there was a trash area just meters away from my room. Hotel workers mentioned that this contributed to an increased infestation of spiders, insects, and mosquitoes, amplifying the issue and making it difficult to enjoy the outdoor spaces. Occasionally, the odor was really pungent. - **Checkout Process:** The checkout process was frustrating, with multiple computing errors causing a delay of over 30 minutes.

The night I checked in it was pouring rain. As they showed me the long way to get to my room so I could see around, they did not help me with my luggage but did hand me an umbrella. I had my suitcase, shoulder bag and the umbrella while all she had was her umbrella. Then when I was checking out they tried to charge me close to $300 extra. Also, I had made an error while booking my stay and they said they weren’t able to help me with my situation because I booked it through Expedia. However, other resorts have been able to help me. When I went down to the beach there were no chairs down there and no one to help me or bring one down for me. I was very disappointed with this resort and def would not give them 5 stars. Possibly 3.5

Hotel was nice and just 30sec walk to the beach. Staff were super friendly and helpful. Location is about 20min walk from town or <5min drive, but they also have a shuttle service for about $6 each way which was well worth it. The only issue we had was with the standing water in our tub that the hotel staff did not come fix, but otherwise, the property was well kept. The food was a bit pricey on the property, but the quality was pretty good.

Cala Luna was overall a lovely stay. The service was phenomenal. Eddy went out of his way to arrange a jet ski session and was super responsive. The rooms were high quality with beautiful modern design and were clean. The location was just far enough away from the city center hustle bustle which was very relaxing. Some cons were limited breakfast options, food prices were too high (almost price gouging), transportation options into town were too expensive, beach was rocky/not swimmable, and free water was not provided in rooms.

One of the absolute highlights was watching the sunset from the easily accessible beach—a magical experience that perfectly captured the spirit of Cala Luna.

Loved our stay! Great service and great food and drink on-site. Farm to kitchen, fresh, and accommodating for food allergies/sensitivies. Was far enough to be away from the crowds, but yet close enough to walk over to the main Tarmarindo spots for surf lessons, food/drink. Walked to the Sam Francisco point daily to get over to Tamarindo.

Beautiful small resort with dense jungle paths and lovely pool. Serene and very eco-friendly. Food was amazing and made from scratch with organic, plant-forward ingredients and fresh fish. Vegan options. Staff was great. Our king room was huge with double rain head showers. Beach is a very short walk past the pool, but small with rocks. Can easily walk to better beaches though. $5 ride into Tamarindo or walkable. If you want to be away from the busyness of Tamarindo, like we did, it's a great option. Already miss the food and the monkeys! Best green salad ever!

Truly enjoyed our stay at the Cala Luna. We stayed in a 2 Queen Bedroom. The hotel is eco friendly, be sure to have your own reusable water bottle -- they have water coolers on site. It's a quick walk to the beach and the pool wonderful. I loved the array of food offered and amazing drinks to cleanse the body and soul! If you like cats, they have many cute kitties on the grounds. Super friendly. The hotel is walkable to town, about 20-25 minutes. You can also rent bikes, pay $6 to take shuttle to/from hotel or have the hotel rent a golf cart for you! I would definitely come back. The staff is very helpful and super friendly!

Plage agréable pour le sunset, un cocktail est offert tous les soirs pour en profiter. La plage est à une minute à pied par un charmant petit chemin. La baignade est sportive mais la plage est souvent déserte. Personnel très sympathique. Petit bémol sur le choix dans les restaurants, la carte est identique le midi et le soir.

The property is beautiful and the staff extremely friendly and helpful. The food was outstanding. There is a happy hour at the beach that we did not find out about until late in our stay. We had a power outage and loss of hot water during out stay that were quickly remedied but surprising. The only real disappointment was the lack of access to yoga and fitness classes that we had looked forward to. The space for this was taken over by a private yoga retreat and no alternative location was provided.

Cala Luna is a beautifully put together property. Compact and comprehensive. The staff is wonderful. Our dinners were terrific. I had a good massage. Our room 301 sometimes had an odor of waste, I suspect we were near their disposal. Other rooms are probably fine. For a tropical local the lack fruit at breakfast was noticeable to customers.

A great hotel to finish our Costa Rica trip! The breakfast was by far the best we had during our entire stay in Costa Rica — great quality, plenty of choice, and everything was delicious. The pool is beautiful and very relaxing, and the beach is just a short walk away. The restaurant also deserves a mention for its excellent presentation — the dishes looked fantastic. The flavors were good overall, although they could perhaps be improved slightly. The staff were very attentive, friendly, and always ready to help, which made the stay even more enjoyable. The rooms were clean, comfortable and nicely decorated, although we found them a little small compared with the size of the bathroom, which was very spacious. Gym room could be improve but you have 30' class included Overall, a lovely place to stay in Tamarindo, with a special mention for the exceptional breakfast!

The pool is beautiful and very relaxing, and the beach is just a short walk away. The restaurant also deserves a mention for its excellent presentation — the dishes looked fantastic. The flavors were good overall, although they could perhaps be improved slightly. The staff were very attentive, friendly, and always ready to help, which made the stay even more enjoyable. The rooms were clean, comfortable and nicely decorated, although we found them a little small compared with the size of the bathroom, which was very spacious.

We loved our stay. The breakfasts were delicious, the early morning yoga and weight classes were great, 10 minute walk to town, etc. the only draw back is that the beach has rocks so not a great swimming beach. Nice to walk, but don’t swim.

The hotel was average. The beach is very rocky compared to side of town by surf shops and restaurants. We would have liked more engagement from the staff. They talked to each other a lot, but minimally helpful. Our shower in our villa was luke warm. The staff brought new towels each day, which was nice. We had a private pool. There were a lot of mosquitos! The breakfast was ok, very good juice and a lot of options. No custom orders though.
