Property is stunning with trails and waterfall, pools and mud bath. Staff is exceptional (esp Anderson). Love the dogs, too (missing you, Princess)!!! Offers breakfast and lunch and there's a nice restaurant only a few steps away (2 for cocktails) Might be best suited for guests younger than I (70 ), but staff was so helpful. This place is absolutely beautiful!

Skip this eco resort - very rough
Our most disappointing stay in a long time. We were up the hill with our own unit but a main light was missing in the big room, wooden shutters with no screens in bedrooms. H ad to ask owner to come show us how to turn on stove. The pluses - great balcony view, dinner was excellent, breakfast overpriced so we only ate it once. They said 2 swimming pools - 1 was empty and the other had tadpoles. We had roosters under the house that got us stayed early.

The Princessa de Luna lodge is an accommodation that we cannot recommend at the price we paid for it. Furthermore, we found the description on Expedia to be misleading. The property description says it is located in a suburban, mountainous area. Be aware that the road leading up to the property is mostly gravel with many potholes (especially important at night). We rented a 2WD SUV and had substantial trouble driving up to the property and finding a place to park. There was not much around the property itself (the restaurant across the street was closed during our time there). The property does not have a front desk, so be prepared to contact the management prior to arrival for check in. Dinner and breakfast are served on the property but must be arranged beforehand. There is not a restaurant on the property beyond this. We were told that dinner would be $7/person but were charged $15/person at checkout. While the food was good, we did not appreciate being misinformed about the price. The rooms themselves contained just two beds and a fan. The bedsheets did not appear washed when we arrived, and there was no shampoo in the bathroom. The door to the room contains enough gaps to allow lizards/insects to enter freely (although if you are staying at an eco-lodge, perhaps you won't mind this). Other amenities were not found to be as advertised. The pool was not usable (debris) We found the lodge to be expensive for the amenities (we paid > $400 for 3 nights; it is lower now).

Beautiful setting, great service, friendly staff
This place is amazing! The setting is out of this world, you are basically surrounded by a tropical forest. The rooms are plain but clean, but the ambience has exceeded our expectations! The staff are friendly and the service superb. Couldn't have found a better place to stay. If you stay there, make sure to do the Adventure Tour, my teenager rated it as one of the best experiences in La Fortuna!

The lodge was super clean. It was perfect for a nice mtn get-away. I stayed there with four women total and there was so much space the deck was beautiful recommend you take a hammock and spend tine out there. Some things to know before you go though. There are no screens or curtains on the bedroom windows so I had a hard time sleeping one night worried becuse anyone could put there hand thru. But bugs were not an issue surprisingly. There is hot water in each bathroom and a place to wash cloths. Really just pretedn you are going to an old lack cabin with limited amenities. My friends and loved that feel. But we wished we had a false sense of security with curtains on the windows. Also there is nothing really up the mtn so i recommend you are ready to turn in before uu head up and a car with 4x4 or one that is not low to the ground its a dirt road at points.

Princesa de la Luna Ecolodge had real rain forest ambience and there was even a toucanet at the door to welcome me! The sounds of the animals at night were an unexpected bonus. The food was fresh, tasty, and healthy. This place has real character and authenticity. I would have liked to have stayed longer!

Pros: great coffee! It was in the jungle with beautiful hikes. Great bird watching. The waterfall is beautiful. William, the manager, is lovely and very concerned about the protection of wild life and the eco system. Cons : mold on the cushions on my patio; we weren’t informed that breakfast was not included until the end of our stay (breakfast mediocre) ; Baldi spa was recommended and it was nice but don’t get the buffet dinner—pay for just the spa and have dinner at one of the good restaurants (snappers for seafood) in town; apparently there is hot water but it was not explained to us until the end of the trip when we inquired about it—a placard in the room would have been helpful. The place overall is a bit run down, rustic and remote but the jungle environment made it worth it.

This hotel is pure magic. We landed here by accident when other places were full, and we could have spent our entire vacation here. The rooms are clean and comfortable, the staff is wonderful, and the views and overall feeling of the place is peaceful and just so unique. Our kids loved the guided hike and the food was delicious.

What a great find!!! I was hesitant about the thought of staying in a cabin, but I’m so glad I did! William and Luis were amazing hosts, breakfast and dinner cooked by them was amazing! And the nature walk…….do the nature walk, you will not be disappointed! Even my teens all agreed it was well worth it. We will defn be back!
