Tripadvisor· a month agoCala Luna is one of the best boutique hotels I have visited. It sits in lush jungle in Playa Langosta, close enough to town but far enough that it feels peaceful and private. Howler monkeys, birds, and beautiful gardens make it feel like a true Costa Rica hideaway.|The rooms and villas are spacious, clean, and beautifully done. Villas with private pools are especially nice. The main pool area is relaxing, breakfast is excellent, and the farm-to-table food is a real highlight.|The sound bath class was wonderful. It was calming, beautifully done, and the instructor was lovely, warm, present, and genuinely caring.|What stands out most is the staff. They are incredibly helpful, and attentive. It feels like the people who run this hotel live here. They care about every detail and make sure everything is available and done to a high standard — from the rooms and grounds to the food, wellness classes, and little extras. Nothing feels overlooked.|The beach is a short walk away, sunsets are beautiful, and the whole stay feels personal and well-run. Highly recommend. We would definitely come back.

Google· 3 months agoWe brought our family of 5 (two of which are teens) and stayed in one of the villas. The staff was exceptional and the property was top-notch. We were close enough to walk into town via street or beach. The food at the property was also great (highly recommend the farm to table dinner at La Senda- only available Mondays and Thursdays). The only grievance is a cat snuck into our villa during the night one of the nights- it ate everything from candy to chips to creamer packets (it also broke a wine glass). While it’s awesome they keep other pests away, it was scary to wake up to. The staff stated it happens often. My husband and I did a couples massage through the hotel’s spa and WOW, it was unlike any other spa experience we’ve ever had. Sound baths and ceremonies changed couples massages for us for forever. My daughters and I went to the HIIT workout one morning and our instructor was knowledgeable and fun. Another added bonus is breakfast is included every morning. Every day it’s something different and there’s something for everyone! The beach is just a short walk from property and we took advantage of the sunset cocktails two nights. Again, the staff was so friendly and eager to make our experience unforgettable. Overall we’d love to come back again! This was our first time in tamarindo and we’ll absolutely return!

Google· 4 months agoAn absolutely exceptional stay at Cala Luna! From the moment we arrived, the hospitality was outstanding. The staff were incredibly kind, warm, and attentive, and they generously upgraded our room, which made our experience even more special. Every detail of the hotel feels luxurious yet relaxed, with a beautiful atmosphere that instantly makes you feel at peace. The service throughout our stay was flawless - genuine, professional, and always with a smile. Everything from the rooms to the surroundings and overall ambiance exceeded our expectations. Cala Luna truly knows how to make guests feel valued and cared for. We left already wanting to come back!

Tripadvisor· 2 months agoWhat a five star experience at the gorgeous Cala Luna. Every staff member has been so warm and welcoming. They even decorated our room and brought a delicious dessert for our daughter’s birthday. The grounds are absolutely beautiful, with just a short walk through the lush forest to beach. You can even walk along the beach at low tide to Tamarindo. The massage was the most relaxing one I’ve ever experienced and they offer complimentary wellness experiences like yoga and a sound bath. The morning buffet has a bit of everything - it fills a table the length of the restaurant. And the fresh organic salads and menu items are divine. We enjoyed the complimentary bikes and also had a great experience booking our tours and golf cart through the front desk. Nicole, Johnny and all the staff made our stay a fabulous one we will never forget!

Google· 5 months agoAbsolutely stunning! Our villa was gorgeous, clean and well maintained, with frequent towel replenishing and turn down service. The food at the restaurants were some of the best I’ve ever had. We enjoyed the included sound bath experience and nightly sunset cocktail. All of the staff is so genuinely kind and helpful. It was so easy to arrange transportation and activities. Far enough out from town to be quiet and secluded but an easy walk to shops and restaurant. I can’t wait to come back!

Google· 5 months agoWe got a villa for a family of four (two toddlers) with our own pool. Great staff! Very helpful with our needs when it came to keeping the toddlers happy. They seemed genuinely happy to cater to our little birthday requests for the kids. Also helped us a lot to set up tours and activities. Location is pretty decent too. Not too far from the town center. The premises itself was well maintained and made us feel like we were in the rainforest even though we were pretty close to the beach. The pools were very comfortable and not too cold. We had to work hard to get the kids out of the pool.

Google· 2 months agoWe had an overall great stay at Cala Luna. Our villa was spacious and comfortable, the private pool was a huge hit with the kids, and the property was peaceful, beautiful, and very well maintained. The staff was friendly and helpful, and the included breakfast was excellent. The location is quiet and relaxing, but getting into downtown Tamarindo can be a little inconvenient. Complimentary transportation into town, or discounted golf-cart rentals for shorter periods than 24 hours, would be a great improvement. The complimentary bikes were useful, but they felt a little outdated and could use an upgrade. Even with those minor suggestions, we had a wonderful experience and would gladly stay at Cala Luna again.

Tripadvisor· 2 months agoI don't even know where to start with reviewing Cala Luna... what an incredible place, staff, beach, location, everything! I just had my wedding here with about 95 guests and the planning team of Carol & Silvia were an absolute DREAM TEAM! I knew next to nothing about planning a wedding, and somehow, they helped us plan a wedding beyond our wildest dreams and expectations. We planned everything in 6 months, and it was the easiest & smoothest planning process I have ever seen or witnessed of a wedding, especially one where you're bringing 95 people to Costa Rica from all different places. The team handled so many logistics that made the entire experience so enjoyable for us and all of our guests, and blew all of our expectations out of the water in terms of the design, the food, & the scheduling & coordination of the day. The hotel grounds give you the best of both worlds of Costa Rica, where the beautiful beach & forest feel with wildlife collide. The hotel is absolutely stunning & serene to walk through, the rooms are beautiful, clean, and provide an incredible sense of privacy, the farm to table food was all amazing & fresh, the drinks NEVER missed, the beach that you access from the hotel is one of the most stunning spots in Costa Rica that I've been to watch the sunset (& to get married ;)), and is close enough to everything in town via walking, biking, or driving a golf cart, while still being enough distance away to really feel the sense of a relaxing & serene vacation. Part of the reason we've always loved Costa Rica is because the people are so incredible & kind, and the entire Cala Luna staff was no different. They provided us & our guests with the best service in every category. Truly one of the dreamiest hotels & stays I've ever experienced, and on top of which, they gave us the most special, beautiful wedding that we will remember and reminisce on for the rest of our lives. We can't wait to come back and continue creating memories here in the future, and we will be forever grateful to Cala Luna hotel & staff, Carol, Silvia, Chef Gian Carlo and Chef Ignacio, and the restaurant manager Sofia for curating the wedding and experience of a lifetime.
