Love everything about this stay!

I've stayed at Hotel Luna Llena twice since 2024, and it’s quickly become one of my favorite spots in Tamarindo. This charming little oasis tucked into the jungle offers a peaceful, welcoming atmosphere just a short walk from the beach and everything the town has to offer. The included breakfast is simple but satisfying, with delicious coffee and my personal favorite—the pancakes! On my most recent visit, I stayed in one of the bungalow rooms, which featured a cozy, round design and a small kitchenette that came in handy. The property is clean, quiet, and beautifully maintained—perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring. I’ll definitely be coming back! The pool is focal point and just wonderful to float around in.

It is a very cute hotel setting and there were monkeys in the trees outside the hotel. We were a bit concerned when the breakfast gal dumped a cup of coffee back in the pot. Otherwise, it was great.

The location is perfect: a short walk to the beach and restaurants, and yet in a quiet street with birds and monkeys in the trees. The pool is a bit odd, but eventually we got used to it. The room was very good. Breakfast good

This place was a little gem to stay at. The bed was fairly hard to sleep on but everything else was very clean and the amenities offered were awesome. They did offer breakfast and we did end up sick afterwards, not sure if it was just an off day but we didn’t eat the breakfast again after that.

I never leave reviews but this was the best hotel! It was in walking distance to everything but just enough off the path to be peaceful and relaxing when you want to get away from the hustle and bustle of town. The breakfast was cooked to order and was amazing! The room was super clean and quaint and the staff was absolutely awesome, especially Russell. We will definitely be booking here again!

The Good and The Bad...no Ugly...

Location is fantastic - walking distance to several beaches and most bars and restaurants but still very quiet - excellent location. Customer Service was generally fantastic (except in specific instances - see below...) - Russell is actually awesome, nice, and responsive (and speaks English fluently) - the "night guy" speaks no English and is not very attentive or helpful. The daily breakfast is filling and above-average in quality. Air conditioner worked well (my Wife likes it COLD at night, and we were able to accomplish that with the AC). Now for the bad stuff...the AC unit leaked badly (probably condensation) and nothing was done about it, so we had a large puddle of water in the middle of our room...also, the water pressure was not much more than a dribble for showers - I expect more when I am paying almost $300 per night...also, water temperature was impossible to control - it either burned me or was too cold stand under. Overall, the hotel was nice, but it is "the little things" that most people remember once a vacation is completed, and I can already tell that one of the recurring stories we will tell in the future will focus on the shower situation.
