This is my third time staying at luna llena. It is close to the heart of tamarindo, and quietly tucked away. The staff are kind and very helpful, the rooms and pool are lovely, and the breakfast is delicious. Thank you for the hospitality.

Clean room, gorgeous pool, and an amazing daily breakfast—especially the lattes. The location is perfect: close to town and the beach, so getting around was easy. We saw at least 10 monkeys on the property every morning, which was such a fun surprise. Super cute place overall. Would absolutely come back with a group of friends and stay here again.

Great hotel to stay at

Great little hotel, secluded and only a block or two from the beach. Great to get away from the noise of downtown. Very relaxing place to stay.

Rooms were great! AC worked amazingly. Margie at the front desk was so helpful with luggage storage and making us feel comfortable. The pool was great and there is an outdoor shower. Breakfast was unreal, many options with the traditional breakfast and coffee was great too! Would recommend to anyone looking for a cheeper stay in Tamarindo with easy access to the beach and downtown.
