    A pleasure and honor to stay in this paradise!

    Well, it's impossible to think of anything negative. I forgot to mention how super the breakfast was!

    This property is a true piece of paradise. From the minute we entered the grounds, we were overcome by how beautiful and natural it all is. Jasmine greeted us with such enthusiasm, taking care of us for our entire stay. The entire staff, including Byron and Elizabeth (?) couldn't have been more attentive and gracious. We were visiting our niece who is serving in the Peace Corps nearby, so it was a beautiful time for her to swim in the gorgeous pool (a tropical nirvana,) eat the fabulous farm-to-table dinners, chill out in the hammock. We have to give kudos to the owners who've developed this property, respecting nature SO much, creating a laid-back but exciting atmosphere with beautiful hikes, yoga pavilion - something for everyone. My husband was grateful for the smoking platform, removed from everything, but very comfortable. We lucked out with this stay and I will be back next year!

    Kind and professional staff, beautiful natural surroundings, high standard of cleanliness, fantastic ethos around sustainability and taking care of the natural world, interesting and informative tours on offer on site, wonderful help provided in organising off site tours too. The restaurant serves wholesome food and drinks in generous portions with a focus on farm to table… The whole place oozes calm, beauty and celebrates the natural world. The restaurant/bar and pool area are inviting and sympathetic to the natural surroundings. A place where families, couples and singles can all enjoy a holiday that is as relaxing or as adventurous as your appetite demands!

    Not a single complaint.

    This was the best family lodge we have ever stayed at. It exceeded our expectations in every way. The food was great, we felt very welcome, the staff was extremely kind. I was worried about being outside of town, and “stuck” eating the food there - but I wish I could have their meals each night after we left the lodge. Plus, the drinks (coffee drinks $4, cocktails and smoothies $6-$7) were so affordable. We missed this place after we left to Samara where everything was 30% more - even the little sloth stuffed animal we bought in the gift shop. We enjoyed all of the onsite tours - farm tour was a highlight. I would come back to try the herbal workshop. And heard the chocolate tour was great.

    The property is part of an ecologically conscious project. In the morning and at night animal sounds are fascinating. Food is mainly self produced. It is kid friendly and has a pool. The property also has a bird watching tower.

    This is not really a criticism. The rooms are comfortable and are cabins with multiple bedrooms. Some beds are in the open sitting room areas that do not have A/C. 2 of our rooms had A/C which was adequate for us.

    The overall facility is fantastic. You can see an exceptional amount of birds. The limited number of guests allowed for a relaxing experience. The facility is a 30 year old farm and all the food is farm to table. Every meal was just amazing. The staff are tremendously helpful and there is a lot to do just on the property. There are 2 areas for bird watching, a local trail, herb classes, and so on. We honestly loved this place so much!

    I loved all of it. My 11 year old is a bit of a fussy eater so sometimes dinner was a bit limited for her

    Beautiful location. We saw so much wildlife just walking around the farm. The birdsong was incredible and it was the perfect place to start our Costa Rican adventure. The drive alone to the farm was stunning. The accommodation had everything we needed and staff were very friendly. We loved going up the bamboo tower to see the birds and get a peek at the volcano. Having a dip in the pool after a day of hiking was just what we needed.

    Nothing comes to mind

    Absolutely stunning lodge with delicious food, a relaxing pool area, and the sounds of nature all around. The rooms are spotless with all the amenities you could need. I loved hanging out in our hammock listening to bird song all around. The staff are also super friendly and accommodating. It is pretty far from La Fortuna so just bear that in mind if you are booking. However we loved the location and the hotel are great about organising transport to and from the lodge. I wish we could’ve stayed longer!

    Not very close to other amenities although this is probably why we were able to see such wonderful and abundant wildlife.

    The sheer volume and variety of birds. It was absolutely amazing to see so many different types of birds. The eco ethos was very much evident - the dinner buffet and the breakfast had little labels t o show what each item was and whether it had been grown on the farm - so much had been!

    Nothing. The only thing I would say is that the rooms can get a bit smelly from the drains, but it's not that bad.

    The room was spacious, and the staff were friendly and knowledgeable. They booked all our excursions, which makes it a lot easier, and outside our family lodge, we witnessed a Sloth sleeping for 16 hours and finally waking up just before we left, to feed and have a scratch! Incredible! Was a great stay. Waking up and sitting outside listening to the rainforest wildlife was a great experience in itself! Well worth a visit.

    The booklet in the room is a bit heavy on rules and regulations and it felt a bit like being introduced to the place by a school teacher. We understand the place is a passion project and the owners are trying to maintain an atmosphere and eco principles. But it might be nice to trust your guests a bit more - they’re there to have a nice, fun and relaxing time!

    We fell in love with this place a little bit. The restaurant does a fantastic job, and prices are reasonable considering what you’re getting. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. The gardens are teeming with wildlife: we recommend the night walk.

    A fridge would have been great! :) Note: The toilet in the Casa Barro is possessed (makes a long, screechy sound, twice with every flush).

    Loved the farm to table concept. Loved walking around the farm and the trails. Everyone was super friendly. Great amenities. The drive via rental car to La Fortuna is not bad at all and worth the stay at Finca Nueva luna Lodge. Overall, great experience. I would come back.
