This place was phenomenal! The view we had was great! This place is tucked away but the service was wonderful and breakfast and dinner were delicious!!! Communication was excellent with William!

10/10 Exceptional

Amazing property had hiking trails right outside our place. Loved being in the forest, the pool was so refreshing , nice privacy. Great hosts so accommodating!!!
Rhonda, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Good location with trails and rainforest however this is basically a 1-2 star hotel. They don't clean your room or surroundings once you check in, there is a limit on number of towels and it's far from the town.
Husain, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Princesa de la Luna Ecolodge surpassed our expectations. Don William picked us up at the airport on time and drove us the two hours to the ecolodge. We stopped along the way. He and his wife are the nicest people I have ever met. They were kind and attentive to our needs at all times. The hotel feels like we are in the middle of the jungle with the most amazing views of the surroundings and we also were able to see the Arenal Volcano from our balcony. Dinner and breakfast were delicious, tropical and on time.
Militza, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Simple facility- beautiful surroundings.

While the room was quite spartan, the grounds are beautiful, as is the large deck with a spectacular view of the volcano, Arenal. The staff, especially Anderson and William, were warm, friendly, immediately responsive. Communal meals were delicious and a fun way to commune with fellow travelers. The only disappointment was the distance from the Arenal national park- a good 40 to 45 minute drive from the resort.
Peter, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

This was a horrible hotel to stay with a family which had leaking restrooms and the place had minimal lights and lots and lots of bugs and insects. We ended up sleeping in the car

We had a great stay here in the rainforest. We loved the open communal places to relax and look out on the forest. The staff were very friendly and helpful.
Lana, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

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!
Stephen, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Good value in the jungle

Very good value for money, very quite and with friendly staff and a location right in the forest. The view from the common areas is spectacular. Has the best natural pool you will find in the forest! Offers dinners for 15$ and breakfast for 7$ The last 400m road to the lodge is a bit rough but doable in all cars

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!

An absolutely beautiful and unique place to stay. The trees and plants and flowers are lush and gorgeous. The staff is friendly and helpful. Convenient to nearby attractions and activities. Meals are lovely and have a home feel to them. We really enjoyed our stay here. The kids loved playing with the dogs and cats. We could have stayed forever!
Charlotte, 2-night trip

Simple accommodations in a beautiful setting. Great trails on the property and a lovely pool by the river. We chose to eat at the lodge both days. No AC but wifi and balcony overlooking forested canyon were great. Tons of birds.

There is a great pool next to the river that blends in with nature. There are friendly dogs if you want a hiking companion. Anderson at the kitchen was an excellent host as was the owner. He responded promptly to any questions via WhatsApp. We very much enjoyed our stay and recommend to others

10/10 Exceptional

Everybody STAY HERE. Staying at Princesa de la Luna Ecolodge was a DREAM. Our cabin had the most amazing views to the rainforest, and the service was amazing. William, Wilmar and everybody made us feel welcome and very well taken care of. I 100% recommend the tour around the Ecolodge, it was actually where we saw the most animals in our entire trip to Costa Rica. Also, make sure to have breakfast and dinner there. It is cooked right then and there, and OH MY! The most amazing banana pancakes and the tastiest chicken I've had. Gracias, gracias y gracias a todos por la mejor estadía.

Bait and switch!!!! So horrible that there were mosquitoes infesting the cabin!!! There was no window panels or screens. RUN!!!!

4/10 Fair

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).

We thought the property was beautiful and the beds were very comfortable. The dogs and cats were super nice and loving as well. The ambience was truly wonderful. It was a bit difficult to find staff at times and we never found the pool- but we were gone during the day and the darkness sets in around 6 pm. Overall it was a very cool place to stay and everyone was very friendly.
