Enjoyed our stay - staff made the difference

Reviewed Apr 22, 2022
My wife and I stayed at Cala Luna for a short baby moon trip and it it was very enjoyable. Because my wife had limited options of what we could do being close to the pool and the beach and a short drive from town made the trip very enjoyable and relaxing too.

The best part of the trip was the service. We met very kind gentleman at the hotel, specifically Fabricio and Jordan who helped us all day and night with a smile on their face. The tall bartender (forget his name and one other shorter/younger gentleman were all so helpful). The staff took care of my wife and gave us recommendations of things we could do/eat/drink. Also being tucked away near the wildlife was very cool (we saw some monkeys, horses, kitties). I saw some reviews that complained about bugs and ants, but besides a couple mosquitos in the room here and there, our room was very clean and bug free.

If you are looking for an affordable stay which access to a pool, complimentary breakfast, a good central place near Taramindo, then check out Cala Luna!

First of all this place is NOT 4 stars.
It is a nice 3 star small resort with a dated pool that never has enough seating around it for the amount of gusts . There is no real spa even though it advertises that.
The worst part of the experience were the abundance of ants in the apartment . Everything in the interior felt dark, dingy and dated .
They advertise that they are beachfront but there is a 3-5 Walk to a rocky beach where you cannot sit or swim. To do that you have to work further up the beach for about 10 minutes .
We love eco tourism and have stayed in many eco friendly resorts . This

I stayed here for my first trip to Costa Rica for my best friends wedding. The hotel is beautiful to say the least but the staff really made the stay worthwhile. The bar and restaurant were a short walk from my room and the staff, specifically at the bar and restaurant made me feel at home and were great at making sure I had everything I needed. Jhordan and Fabricio who worked at the restaurant were always super friendly and made sure that I was making the most of my vacation. The service I received from these two was outstanding, probably the best I have ever experienced at a hotel. If you are traveling to Costa Rica and are staying at or near Tamarindo beach you would be crazy not to stay at this hotel. Easily one of the best vacations I’ve ever had. PURA VIDA!!!

We chose Cala Luna for our wedding block for our guests and ourselves and it was the best experience ever! From the service, to the restaurants, to the amazing pool, it really felt like a Costa Rican vacation for everyone! All the guests had such an amazing experience and want to go back!

Dixie and David were amazing to work with! I’ve been working with Dixie since 2020 to make everything perfect and she was FANTASTIC! David helped me organize my wedding rehearsal dinner at the property as well as a private yoga session for my bridesmaids, and he was spot on! It was perfect in every way from the food to the recommended entertainment! He also helped me schedule shuttles for our welcome dinner as well!

I also got a massage here from Camila and she was wonderful! It was such a cute room and her massage actually helped me relax so much that I fell asleep!

Highly recommend 10/10 experience! So much fun and such great people! Pura Vida!!

David Montero, the event coordinator at Cala Luna, is absolutely remarkable. We cannot thank him enough for his time, effort, and creativity in making our wedding so special. Cala Luna is absolutely beautiful and an amazing place to stay- and it is even more wonderful because of people like David.

We stayed 3 nights in a 2 bedroom villa and it was great! It was a quaint resort. We really enjoyed having a private pool. The food was good as well. The beach is beautiful but is NOT swimmable. You have to go to one of the nearby beaches if you want to swim. We did a surf lesson at a beach that was just a short walk from Cala luna. There were some bugs in our villa (ants and a couple spiders) but that is to be expected in Costa Rica! We rented a golf cart and went into Tamarindo every day which was fun! Overall this is a great little resort!
