Princesa de la Luna Ecolodge

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.

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

Wow what a beautiful stay. William as a host was incredible. He offered an adventure trek around the local jungle to the lodge + lots of insight into the plants/ fruits growing, stomping in the river, swimming in the waterfall and having a mud bath at the end - fantástico! He helped organise our canyoning excursion, coffee/chocolate tour, plus a taxi when we wanted to head into La Fortuna (only 15 mins .. ask him anything!) We enjoyed breakfast every morning… deliciously fresh! And we had dinner one evening too - highly recommend the food, the accommodation (lovely views & comfortable rustic jungle feel) & the service from William as a host. Thank you William for looking after us so well… we hope to be back soon! Pura Vida
