Simple facility- beautiful surroundings.
While the room was quite spartan, the grounds are beautiful, as is the large deck with a spectacular view of the volcano, Arenal. The staff, especially Anderson and William, were warm, friendly, immediately responsive. Communal meals were delicious and a fun way to commune with fellow travelers. The only disappointment was the distance from the Arenal national park- a good 40 to 45 minute drive from the resort.

This was a horrible hotel to stay with a family which had leaking restrooms and the place had minimal lights and lots and lots of bugs and insects. We ended up sleeping in the car

Property is stunning with trails and waterfall, pools and mud bath. Staff is exceptional (esp Anderson). Love the dogs, too (missing you, Princess)!!!
Offers breakfast and lunch and there's a nice restaurant only a few steps away (2 for cocktails)
Might be best suited for guests younger than I (70 ), but staff was so helpful. This place is absolutely beautiful!

Good value in the jungle
Very good value for money, very quite and with friendly staff and a location right in the forest. The view from the common areas is spectacular.
Has the best natural pool you will find in the forest!
Offers dinners for 15$ and breakfast for 7$
The last 400m road to the lodge is a bit rough but doable in all cars

Beautiful setting, great service, friendly staff
This place is amazing! The setting is out of this world, you are basically surrounded by a tropical forest. The rooms are plain but clean, but the ambience has exceeded our expectations!
The staff are friendly and the service superb. Couldn't have found a better place to stay. If you stay there, make sure to do the Adventure Tour, my teenager rated it as one of the best experiences in La Fortuna!

Simple accommodations in a beautiful setting. Great trails on the property and a lovely pool by the river. We chose to eat at the lodge both days. No AC but wifi and balcony overlooking forested canyon were great. Tons of birds.

An absolutely beautiful and unique place to stay. The trees and plants and flowers are lush and gorgeous. The staff is friendly and helpful. Convenient to nearby attractions and activities. Meals are lovely and have a home feel to them. We really enjoyed our stay here. The kids loved playing with the dogs and cats. We could have stayed forever!

There is a great pool next to the river that blends in with nature. There are friendly dogs if you want a hiking companion. Anderson at the kitchen was an excellent host as was the owner. He responded promptly to any questions via WhatsApp. We very much enjoyed our stay and recommend to others

The Princessa de Luna lodge is an accommodation that we cannot recommend at the price we paid for it. Furthermore, we found the description on Expedia to be misleading.
The property description says it is located in a suburban, mountainous area. Be aware that the road leading up to the property is mostly gravel with many potholes (especially important at night). We rented a 2WD SUV and had substantial trouble driving up to the property and finding a place to park. There was not much around the property itself (the restaurant across the street was closed during our time there). The property does not have a front desk, so be prepared to contact the management prior to arrival for check in. Dinner and breakfast are served on the property but must be arranged beforehand. There is not a restaurant on the property beyond this. We were told that dinner would be $7/person but were charged $15/person at checkout. While the food was good, we did not appreciate being misinformed about the price.
The rooms themselves contained just two beds and a fan. The bedsheets did not appear washed when we arrived, and there was no shampoo in the bathroom. The door to the room contains enough gaps to allow lizards/insects to enter freely (although if you are staying at an eco-lodge, perhaps you won't mind this).
Other amenities were not found to be as advertised. The pool was not usable (debris) We found the lodge to be expensive for the amenities (we paid > $400 for 3 nights; it is lower now).

Skip this eco resort - very rough
Our most disappointing stay in a long time. We were up the hill with our own unit but a main light was missing in the big room, wooden shutters with no screens in bedrooms. H ad to ask owner to come show us how to turn on stove. The pluses - great balcony view, dinner was excellent, breakfast overpriced so we only ate it once. They said 2 swimming pools - 1 was empty and the other had tadpoles. We had roosters under the house that got us stayed early.
