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.

We stayed in this place for 4 nights and we just fell in love with it. Built in the jungle, it's simply perfect for those who want to relax, have peace and quiet, and enjoy the beauty and sounds of the rain forest. Breakfast was amazing and generous, made with fresh and local ingredients as the dinner was to. The Adventure tour they suggested to do at the arrivals was one of the best experiences we had in Costa Rica, a MUST to do!!! A big thanks to the team, and a special thanks to the young Anderson who has been taking care of us for all our needs and made us feel special. Ale& Livia

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

My friends and I had an incredible stay at the Princesa de la Luna Ecolodge. Nearby trails take you effortlessly to two different pools and a gorgeous waterfall. The workers have invested significant time and energy into making Princesa de la Luna the most gorgeous area around. Breakfast accommodations are easily made at the main lodge, or you can walk just a minute downhill to Chichas Restaurant & Bar. The Ecolodge is just far enough from downtown La Fortuna to feel isolated from city-life without giving up the convenience of a nearby town. I would definitely return for another stay!

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

We stayed with a group of 11 people and it was the best experience I have ever had on any vacation. I was worried about the no AC thing but you don’t need it, trust me!! Windows open, fan on, I was cold at night. I loved waking up to the birds and walking out into a tropical paradise watching all of the birds…. Bring binoculars. The adventure hike was awesome and then you can walk down to the waterfall whenever you want. The food is amazing and the people even more amazing. William and Gretthl were family and we were sad to leave them. William does everything for you- like a personal assistant. He picked us up from a tour and we asked if it was possible to book an ATV tour last minute and he immediately called 3 places to find us a spot. He drove us anywhere we wanted to go and always checked that we were having a good time. Out of any tour we did (5-6), the team at Princessa were the friendliest of them all. William even entertained my 2 year old in the water when he was scared of the waterfall so my husband and I could go explore. They found us all kinds of frogs, even during dinner. I can write on and on about this trip. I would go back in a heart beat. It felt like home.
