Really good Dining Experience

“I had the pleasure of dining at the restaurant at Cala Luna and it was nothing short of amazing. The meals were cooked using fresh, locally sourced ingredients, which really made a difference in flavor. The diverse menu included fantastic vegetarian and gluten-free options that catered to my dietary needs. During my stay, I also participated in the lovely Farm to Table dinner at La Senda, which was a highlight of my trip. Dining under the stars while enjoying delicious, organic dishes was an experience I will cherish forever.” view full review

This hotel is a charming oasis just outside downtown Tamarindo, where I felt completely immersed in lush jungle surroundings and enjoyed the proximity to a quieter beach that felt almost private. The staff was welcoming and helpful, plus the breakfast was a delightful added bonus. However, I found the prices a bit steep for the overall experience, especially considering some limitations with the amenities and room conditions.

The hotel is located in a serene area, just a short trek down a dirt path to the beach, which was a nice treat. While it felt secluded, it was also just minutes away from bustling Tamarindo with its variety of shops and restaurants.

Overall, I had a pleasant stay at Cala Luna. The boutique atmosphere was charming, and the staff were incredibly welcoming. The food was excellent, especially the breakfasts, but I was disappointed by the rocky beach, which made swimming unappealing. Also, the beds could use improvement as the pillows were quite lumpy. Nevertheless, it was a great place to relax and unwind, especially with the refreshing pool and yoga classes available.

Breakfasts were fantastic, with lots of healthy options available, but the dinner menu could use more vegetarian choices. Still, the food quality was commendable.

The pool area was refreshing, and the yoga classes were a nice bonus. However, the limited lounge chairs could make finding a spot challenging during peak hours.

I had an incredible five-night stay at Cala Luna with my fiance! The property is stunning and very private, making it the perfect tropical escape. We started every day with a delicious breakfast, enjoyed the beautiful pool area, and loved the peaceful vibe around the beach. However, our room was a bit near construction, which affected our outdoor seating a little. Overall, this place offers fantastic value for a serene getaway!

Cala Luna offered a peaceful escape surrounded by nature, making it a perfect spot for our family getaway and intimate wedding. The rooms were clean and well-decorated, nestled beautifully in the greenery. The staff's dedication to service made our stay even more enjoyable. However, the beach isn't great for swimming due to the rocky areas, and while the dining was delicious, I wished for a bit more variety on the menu.

We had an incredible stay at Cala Luna, where the combination of beautiful surroundings, excellent service, and amazing food left us completely satisfied. The villas were perfect for relaxation, especially with our own private pool. The peaceful atmosphere truly enhanced our vacation, although the beach access required a brief walk, which might not be suitable for everyone. Overall, this place offered great value for a boutique experience, but the limited drink options at the restaurant slightly affected our evenings.
