Best part of our trip!

Right on a gorgeous sand beach with the best sunsets in the area, friendly and helpful staff, excellent pool, amazing room, blah blah blah. We would would go back to Tamarindo just for this hotel.

Beautiful hotel

Pros: The rooms are clean, the hotel is quiet, and the breakfast is delicious.
Cons: It would be nice if the hotel offered a free shuttle into town.
Location: The town seems to be a major destination for surfers, so surfing lessons are available throughout the beach. Zip lining is also nearby.
The hotel is beautiful. It is kept neat and clean throughout. The staff is very friendly and does their best to accommodate your requests. The beach is steps from the hotel. However, it is rocky in that area so you have to go to a different part of the beach if you want to swim. The hotel is located about 5-10 minutes from the center of town. It would be nice if the hotel offered a free shuttle, but it does not. You can take a taxi for $5 each way, or borrow a bike from the hotel. There are howler monkeys on the grounds. You can sometimes hear them in the morning and you're sure to see them hanging out in the trees.

Paradise on the Pacific

Pros: We liked that it wasn't a high rise 300 room hotel. It was cozy with beautiful grounds to wander. The sunsets viewed from the beach were gorgeous.
Cons: We thought it was perfect.
Location: The town is within a 15 minute walking distance and the larger beach where swimming is possible is only a 10 minute walk. There are many tour options.
My husband and I had a great trip staying at Cala Luna, The hotel is small with all amenities easily accessible - a 3 minute walk to the beach from our room! The hotel room was beautifully decorated, very clean and the bed really comfortable. The staff was extremely friendly and acommodating, booking last minute trips to make our visit to Costa Rica memorable. The pool, bar and restaurant were also excellent. We never felt the need to eat elsewhere and we've eaten in many highly rated restaurants. We highly recommend Cala Luna and look forward to a return to this resort.

Costa Rica Escape

This is a very nice hotel featuring mostly private villas with private swimming pools. Our family stayed for 8 nights and had a great time. The restaurant was very good and they also have an on-site sushi bar near the larger resort pool that was enjoyable. Our ""garden"" villa had a full kitchen, pool, 2 bedrooms and 2 paths. Nice decor and furniture. Since it is on the outer end of town, transportation is advised. The walk into town is a couple miles on a bumpy dirt road. Good exercise, but not sure if I'd want to walk it each night. Cab and bus service to the Cala Luna is available. If we return to Taminindo, we'll stay again at this place. Recommended!
