Princesa de la Luna Ecolodge

I stayed at Princesa de la Luna for a few days while visiting La Fortuna and found it to be a peaceful, grounding experience. The property is surrounded by lush jungle and feels like a true escape into nature. I mostly did my own thing, taking Ubers and exploring solo, but the staff were consistently kind and helpful when needed. I had a delicious homemade dinner my first night and several hearty breakfasts, all prepared with care by William and the team. Anderson was especially helpful, offering great tips and support throughout my stay. I also appreciated the detailed communication I received from Jonathan, the owner, leading up to my visit, which made planning smooth and stress-free. If you’re looking for a place to unwind, reconnect, and enjoy the natural beauty of Costa Rica with welcoming hosts, I definitely recommend Princesa de la Luna.

without question, the most special place I've ever stayed - and I've been to hundreds of hotels around the world. I rarely write reviews but I felt that the staff and owner deserved more people to be aware of this magical place. it's quirky and won't be for everyone: there's no A/C, the shower's not great, it's certainly not 'luxury' - but it has a charm and tranquillity that I've not experience anywhere else. The grounds are extraordinary, with waterfalls and a river going through it - the adventure hike that they offer through all of this is ESSENTIAL. the food is beautiful, the staff couldn't have been better - I would honestly come here every year if I could.

Of all the places I've stayed across Costa Rica this was my favourite. Right in the middle of the rainforest it was so peaceful to be surrounded by so much nature and wildlife. I stayed in one of the cabins a couple minutes walk away from the main lodge area and was a bit worried being alone. But it was totally safe! Anderson was so friendly and we had so much fun during the nature walk across the grounds. I only booked 3 nights but I wish I stayed for longer. They're super helpful as well with arranging taxis for excursions.

We stayed in this place for 4 nights and we just fell in love with it. Built in the jungle, it's simply perfect for those who want to relax, have peace and quiet, and enjoy the beauty and sounds of the rain forest. Breakfast was amazing and generous, made with fresh and local ingredients as the dinner was to. The Adventure tour they suggested to do at the arrivals was one of the best experiences we had in Costa Rica, a MUST to do!!! A big thanks to the team, and a special thanks to the young Anderson who has been taking care of us for all our needs and made us feel special. Ale& Livia

2nd visit to this wonderfully relaxed establishment, its quiet and peaceful, lots of lush plantings everywhere. We managed to hike down to the there waterfall , and was able to get within 15-20 feet of its base, you can get showered under the falls but I’d suggest you have them provide you a guided tour if you really want the full waterfall and river hike experience. We also visited both of their river side pools, both are downhill from the main property, one pool looks more natural and the other is more elegant. We were the only ones at the pools the 3 times we visited. We ate breakfast and dinner on property every day. Our meals were served family style and all were delicious. We sure had our fill of fresh fruits and fruit juice. Staff was attentive and sincere, we enjoyed interacting with them and they made our experience more enjoyable and more Costa Rican. There suggestion on activities were spot on , we did the pure trek canyoning which was just up the hill only a couple of minutes away , so almost no travel time and pure trek provided a exciting and professionally run operation. They also provided a great recommendation for a hot springs, we had done baldi in the past and it was great as an outing for international visitors, this time at our request they provided a recommendation on a visiting a hot springs that locals Costa Rican might visit. One of our party speaks fluent Spanish, so it was easy, And we really enjoyed our visit to the hot springs. Moral of the story, explain what you want and listen to their suggestions And the view of arenal Volcano was inspiring. All in our party enjoyed our time spent at Princessa de la Luna

My friends and I had an incredible stay at the Princesa de la Luna Ecolodge. Nearby trails take you effortlessly to two different pools and a gorgeous waterfall. The workers have invested significant time and energy into making Princesa de la Luna the most gorgeous area around. Breakfast accommodations are easily made at the main lodge, or you can walk just a minute downhill to Chichas Restaurant & Bar. The Ecolodge is just far enough from downtown La Fortuna to feel isolated from city-life without giving up the convenience of a nearby town. I would definitely return for another stay!
