I booked this stay after reading many positive reviews, so my expectations were higher than what we experienced. Pros: The property is surrounded by beautiful nature. The trails to the river are lovely, the small river itself is very nice, and birds come right up to the window in the morning. The room feels very immersed in nature. The owner was friendly and accommodating, allowing us to arrive early and store our luggage until the room was ready. Cons: Although the hotel is located in a natural/jungle setting, the room needs better maintenance and cleaning. The electrical outlets were very dirty, the hand soap bottle was dirty, and both the ceiling fan and air vent mesh were very dusty. The bed sheets had stains, and several lights did not work, including the balcony lights, which made arriving at night difficult. The mattress was quite hard. Our room (#6) was the farthest from the main area and required going down steep steps, which may be challenging for guests with knee issues. At night, a flashlight or phone light is needed since common-area lights are turned off. The room has an electric shower, which is common in Latin America, but due to the overall lack of maintenance, the visible wiring near the water raised safety concerns. The shower floor had mold. The room is not level, and the windows are not sealed, so food attracts ants. The pool appeared to have a similar level of maintenance. Other larger rooms on the property may offer a better experience.

We were contacted less than 24h before our check in by a staff member to tell us that they had to cancel our reservation. No reason was given other than "a serious matter" occured. We were minutes away from takeoff on our plane and would not have been aware for several more hours if we were unlucky with this timing. The person offered no explanation, denied any responsibility or wrongdoing on their part, would absolve himself of any and all liability, would barely offer any alternatives, was condescending saying we hadn't paid yet and that false reservations were common, said there was absolutely no problem with this last minute cancellation because there were many other options available... To be quite frank, I've never dealt with such an absurd situation while booking accommodation! The next day, I even received a message asking for my arrival time and for me to get in touch with the manager to arrange payment. Complete disorganisation and confusion.This person lacks communication skills and should learn to how deal with customers when unexpected events occur. The business they run is clearly mismanaged and should prioritise improving basic reservation functions and customer relations as a hotel/lodge.

Princesa de la Luna Ecolodge surpassed our expectations. Don William picked us up at the airport on time and drove us the two hours to the ecolodge. We stopped along the way. He and his wife are the nicest people I have ever met. They were kind and attentive to our needs at all times. The hotel feels like we are in the middle of the jungle with the most amazing views of the surroundings and we also were able to see the Arenal Volcano from our balcony. Dinner and breakfast were delicious, tropical and on time.

We thought the property was beautiful and the beds were very comfortable. The dogs and cats were super nice and loving as well. The ambience was truly wonderful. It was a bit difficult to find staff at times and we never found the pool- but we were gone during the day and the darkness sets in around 6 pm. Overall it was a very cool place to stay and everyone was very friendly.

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.

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.
