Clean room, gorgeous pool, and an amazing daily breakfast—especially the lattes. The location is perfect: close to town and the beach, so getting around was easy. We saw at least 10 monkeys on the property every morning, which was such a fun surprise. Super cute place overall. Would absolutely come back with a group of friends and stay here again.

Very disappointing and poorly managed booking. We had reserved two rooms for New Year’s Eve, and Expedia showed our booking as fully confirmed the day before arrival. Despite this, the hotel contacted us one day before check-in claiming that one of our rooms had been cancelled two weeks earlier, which was completely false and unsupported by Expedia’s records.

When we arrived, it became clear this was not an isolated issue — another guest was also left without a room due to double booking. Because it was New Year’s and the city was fully booked, we had no option but to accept being crammed into one room (5 adults).

Despite the situation being entirely the hotel’s fault, management refused to offer any rebate or compensation. The whole experience felt dishonest and extremely unprofessional. I would not recommend this hotel, especially during peak periods.

Good location, clean pool, nice people around and amenities and close to the beach. However a few things would make this property better: wifi connection (dropping sometimes and not quite available in the room), darker blinds (room is so bright) and breakfast (although super basic it’s still ok, but once the coffee dispenser is empty, it’s not filled up - even if it’s within the breakfast hours). Cheers!

Love everything about this stay!

I've stayed at Hotel Luna Llena twice since 2024, and it’s quickly become one of my favorite spots in Tamarindo. This charming little oasis tucked into the jungle offers a peaceful, welcoming atmosphere just a short walk from the beach and everything the town has to offer.

The included breakfast is simple but satisfying, with delicious coffee and my personal favorite—the pancakes! On my most recent visit, I stayed in one of the bungalow rooms, which featured a cozy, round design and a small kitchenette that came in handy.

The property is clean, quiet, and beautifully maintained—perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring. I’ll definitely be coming back! The pool is focal point and just wonderful to float around in.

The Good and The Bad...no Ugly...

Location is fantastic - walking distance to several beaches and most bars and restaurants but still very quiet - excellent location. Customer Service was generally fantastic (except in specific instances - see below...) - Russell is actually awesome, nice, and responsive (and speaks English fluently) - the \"night guy\" speaks no English and is not very attentive or helpful. The daily breakfast is filling and above-average in quality. Air conditioner worked well (my Wife likes it COLD at night, and we were able to accomplish that with the AC). Now for the bad stuff...the AC unit leaked badly (probably condensation) and nothing was done about it, so we had a large puddle of water in the middle of our room...also, the water pressure was not much more than a dribble for showers - I expect more when I am paying almost $300 per night...also, water temperature was impossible to control - it either burned me or was too cold stand under. Overall, the hotel was nice, but it is \"the little things\" that most people remember once a vacation is completed, and I can already tell that one of the recurring stories we will tell in the future will focus on the shower situation.

Bof

+ : L'endroit est bien situé, soit à 5min à pied de Playa Grande et d'une épicerie. La piscine est belle et bien entretenue. Le déjeuner est bon et l'homme à l'accueil (generalement en soirée) est vraiment souriant et tres sympathique. La literie est confortable et le lit principal est vraiment spacieux. Le logement est assez grand. Le coin est calme, nous avons apprécié, car nous aimons dormir tôt sans entendre tous les bruits de la ville.

- : La femme à l'accueil ne semble vraiment pas faite pour travailler avec le public. Elle ne se lève pas pour repondre à nos questions depuis son bureau, donc on ne voit meme pas son visage... Beaucoup de petits insectes à l'intérieur, ne laissez absolument rien sur le comptoir, meme pas le temps de cuisiner. (Fourmis rouges qui entrent par le jour sous la porte principale.) N'avons pas eu d'eau chaude 2 nuits sur 4. Certaines assiettes etaient sales à notre arrivée, la cafetière et la cruche à jus n'étaient pas lavés. Oui, il y a une cuisinette, mais il manque tant d'éléments essentiels, que cela devient presque inutile... (Ex: pas de planche pour découper, pas de linge à vaisselle ou de support pour la déposer, lavabo minuscule (une assiette n'entre pas), un seul petit et vieu poêlon, etc.)

The property was definitely unique and beautiful. Service was very good if you leave small tips every day. We ran out of cash one day and the bed was not quite made up)).
Quite nice breakfast but not too special. Beautiful swimming pool with a bit of insects now and then.
Kitchen counters were not cleaned well enough on arrival.
Matress on the bed was ok, but don’t expect Marriott quality.
For 3 of us we had the whole bungalow which was fabulous, our daughter had the second floor. It looks better in real life than their pictures.
Conveniently located to the beach and restaurants.
Wear a hat and be prepared to cover your nose when walking to the beach - the road is very dusty.

Pleasant but I would not stay here again.

Overall my stay was pleasant, but I would not return. The wifi was unstable & would constantly turn on & off randomly. I had to go outside to the pool area to have more efficient wifi.
The bungalow does not block off sound well. I could hear the people playing ping pong outside with loud music on past 7pm, so it was difficult to sleep at night. From inside my room, I could hear people swimming in the pool & eating breakfast outside. I could hear the speakers playing music when I tried to sleep at night.
That said, the staff was attentive when I complained about the noise & quickly fixed it. The staff was nice and understanding.
There was one day when the toilet would not flush at all, but the staff fixed it.
The hot water in the shower was inconsistent & would go from hot to warm to cold randomly, even during short 5 minute showers. In other words, I never knew when I would be able to have a hot shower or not as the hot water was unreliable.

Overall, the room was clean. But the upstairs area with the twin beds smelled like dust.

Most impressive, I saw how he diffused and prevented (obnoxious friends of a guest) from staying at the property.

Joli hôtel sympathique et tranquille un peu en retrait mais à 5 minutes à pied de la plage et de tous les services de la ville. Personnel serviable et excellenet petit déjeuner.

This hotel is picture fancy. The bungalow looks nice from outside. The inside is darker and a bit old. There is a kitchenette, we didn’t use it. Upstairs space is quite small and extremely hot even with air conditioner. Downstairs bathroom has an outdated shower head which fell off the wall several times while taking shower.

The good art is the staff. They are very friendly and respond to our requests quickly. The receptionists speak good English, the housekeepers and breakfast serving people don’t.

This hotel was a little oasis. We were worried that Tamarindo was doing to be too busy and touristy but this hotel was located at the quiet end of the beach, which was only a short walk away. There are restaurants and shops within walking distance. We traveled as a family and ate most nights at a little group of food trucks, which weren't as expensive as the beach restaurants. The pool was lovely to cool down in after spending the mornings at the beach. We were in a standard room on the bottom floor of the main building and couldn't hear our neighbours at all. In the day, there was some construction or maintenance going on, which was a bit loud but not too bad. In the evening the room was totally quiet. No traffic noise at all because the hotel is at the end of a little dead-end cul-de-sac. The room we were in didn't have blackout curtains, which allowed beautiful light. However, I recommend traveling with an eye mask because it gets light early. The air conditioner worked well, plus there was a fan, fridge, microwave and tv in the room. The hotel's front staff were very friendly. Highly recommend if you are in the area.

The bar was being updated for the upcoming season so we didn't get to enjoy it, however all else was great. Staff were always friendly and all issuess were adressed immediately. Beach was a 5 minute walk. The roads are dirt roads filled with potholes but that has nothing to do woth the property. Would def stay here again.

It is a three star hotel, but expect a 2

Our stay was good, but definitely not praising this place as much as others.
The hotel manager was VERY nice and super helpful. The interesting thing is that when reading previous reviews, they praised the staff. That was not the case for us. We found them extremely unfriendly.
There is one woman, who may be the office manager? She was almost to the point of being rude to us. The women who served breakfast made no attempt to smile or greet us.
We stayed for seven days. On day 4, I requested that our sheets be changed. It didn’t happen. On day 5, I asked Russell and it did happen, but not without angry looks from the staff.
I understand the language barrier, but this was different. They seemed hostile towards us, which is not something that we have experienced in Costa Rica on our many visits.
This is a three star resort and we expected three star, not four or five. But…our family did book a full week with three rooms, so minimally, I would expect a smile and clean sheets.
Sorry Russell! You have your work cut out for you.

The Luna Llena was a perfect stay for me. The location is great. Walking distance to food, shops, yoga studio, beach. It's very quiet and cute and the staff are warm. The room was very clean and the hotel was safe. If you're a yogi like me they have yoga offered on site or walking distance to local studio or beach yoga where I practiced everyday. It's also a great spot for yoga retreat. I would definitely return when back in Costa Rica. Thank you!

Pura Vide Place

We really enjoyed our stay at this quaint resort. It was clean and quiet. Easy 2 block walk to the beach. The hot tub was out-of-order but who needs it with such beautiful weather (highs in the 90's, lows about 78). The A/C worked great. Truly a pura vida place.

This was a treat to stay at during our 15-day trip around Costa Rica with 3 days in Tamarindo. It's small and quiet but quite unique and the villas were perfect for our family of 4. Would definitely stay here again.

Estuvimos 3 noches con un gruoo de amigos, y realmente la experiencia fue muy buena. La habitacion estaba comoda y limpia. La ubicacion es excelente. Es cierto que el parqueo esta en una calle cerrada, pero hay una persona que se mantiene vigilando y tralmente esa calle es muy tranquila.

It's a 2 star hotel. No reception to speak of, stainless steel counter in fron of a small back office room. Our 3 person room was tiny with no room to move around. A closet in the bathroom- a weird location. The above was not what botheted us the most. We checked in at 4:30pm, at wich point the frond desk lady said she was leaving for the day. We turned on the AC which was hardly blowing any air. It was about 94F putside with high humidity! After a long drive, we wanted to take a shower to find out there was no hot water. Reporyed issues next morning. The AC was fixed. The hot water was never fixed despite several attempts. Good thing it was very hot outside and 3 days with cold shower was somewhat bearable. Not having hot water in the room is not okay even for a 2 star hotel.
On a bright side, the breakfast was nice. The property is 5 min from the beach and main streets with restaurants.

This property is very quaint. Extremely clean and friendly staff will make your stay with them worth it. You don’t need expensive in Costa Rica because you spend little time in room. Property sits on a green area so monkeys will always be near by and what and experience that is
