This hotel was absolutely gorgeous, on the most amazing grounds. Nestled in the heart of the rainforest with two trails to walk through. The pool and hot tub were perfect, and open 24/7. The service was brilliant and the room was beautiful and luxurious.

A very peaceful getaway!

The most peaceful experience I had while in CR, it is nestled in the mountains full of flowers, and birds! The food is fresh, affordable and tasty. We went to a few restaurants in the area and they were the best option. They carry Suiz y Tico beer, highly recommend. My favorite was laying on the hammock outside my room watching the rain, lightning, and hummingbirds!

Our stay at Finca Luna Nueva Lodge was simply unforgettable. The place is stunning — surrounded by lush nature, peaceful energy, and vibrant life everywhere you look. The food was absolutely delicious, fresh, and nourishing, and the warm hospitality made us feel truly welcomed from the very first moment. And the yoga shala is simply magic! One of the highlights of our trip was the night tour with Dani in the forest — such a fascinating and enriching experience! She guided us through the local fauna with incredible passion and deep knowledge, showing us frogs, insects, and nocturnal life in such a respectful and exciting way. She even took beautiful photos with her phone to share with all of us — such a thoughtful touch! We also highly recommend treating yourself to a massage with Alexandra — she’s incredibly skilled and intuitive. One of the best massages we’ve ever had! This place is a true gem — relaxing, inspiring, and full of heart.

This grounds were gorgeous. We saw lots of birds and with patience some sloths. The food fresh and delicious. The drinks unique and my kids loved the smoothies. The pool and hottub were cold but we didnt use it much. The chocolate tour and herb workshop very educational and fun. Ale gave one of the best massages ever. Adding the red clay was heaven. The staff superb. Overall a unique experience

Good but not great

Overall our stay at Finca Luna Nueva Lodge was good. We stayed in the Dome Suite which was great and very unique. However after reading reviews online I was expecting more from the hotel in general. The evening meal was a buffet as the restaurant does not serve the a la carte menu when there are over 25 guest dining - this was the case every evening we were there and we felt was disappointing. The breakfast buffet was very average, and if you arrived later than 7.30am there was no yogurt left (despite asking for more). The pool and jacuzzi area require a bit of an uplift too, a number of sunloungers were damaged and the jacuzzi needs a repaint. The staff were friendly and the service was again good but not great. We enjoyed our time staying at Luna Nueva but I’m not sure we’d stay again if we were to go back to La Fortuna.

Skønt øko-resort

Fremragende øko-hotel midt i junglen. Hotellet har sin egen 3 km junglesti og vi lå ved poolen og så dovendyr hænge i træerne. Aber, frøer og fugle ligeså. Poolen er dejlig varm og meget børnevenlig. Maden på hotellet stammer fra egen farm. Selv smørret er kærnet fra mælk fra farmens køer. Værelserne er rummelige og fine uden at være luksus. Vi var der i juli og vejret var dejligt med sol og varme. Og selvfølgelig lidt regn også - her midt i regnskoven. Det hører med. Kan virkelig anbefales. Ikke nødvendigt med 4x4 som nogle skriver. Men bil er et must.

The property is beautiful and true farm to table dining but therefore a limited menu. The private cassitas are lovely and spacious with a large bathroom and private patio. However the bed creaked getting in and out and whenever you moved and the mattress was so hard I barely slept. The hot tub was too scalding hot to actually enjoy but the setup was stunning.

The farm-to-table cuisine was both delectable and sustainable, elevating every meal. The staff were not only friendly but also incredibly knowledgeable, ensuring a seamless and enriching stay. As a solo female traveler, I felt completely at ease and secure throughout my time here. Highly recommended for those seeking a serene and safe getaway.
