Kitchen could have been slightly better stocked with cooking utensils but that's a very small development point - everything else was fantastic

Gorgeous location and wonderful team, thank you. Would definitely recommend the walk to the waterfall!

We were looking for a place surrounded with nature. Location was what we wanted. William is a very kind hoste, we enjoyed the food very much

Stayed in April 2024

Be aware that it is a ~ 10 minute drive outside of town, up a steep narrow unpaved road. Drive carefully!

The Ecolodge is absolutely beautiful. I absolutely recommend going on the morning hike around the property to get an appreciation for what surrounds you. (Wear a bathing suit, you will get wet!) William was incredibly helpful and responsive. Would happily stay here again. I didn't get a chance to have dinner on the property, but the breakfast was delicious.

The House we stayed could have had more options outside to sit and chill. There where only 2 hangmats but we where 6 people ;)

The Ecolodge is in the middle of the beautiful nature of La Fortuna. Very calm and safe. Perfect for families with kids. Stuff was extra Kind and attemptive.

Princesa de la Luna feels like a family-run business, which is great. However, we felt like having a serving bar where you could get a beer or a drink at any time of the day would have been nice. Also having a mini fridge in the room would be helpful in case you wish to keep something fresh during your stay, especially water bottles for when you have outdoor tours and you wish to bring your water and recycle plastic water bottles throughout your stay in the country. Overall, staying in Princesa de la Luna Ecolodge was the best way to start our honeymoon and set the bar very very high for all other places we stayed in Costa Rica the following couple of weeks!

The location is absolutely stunning! You are truly immersed in the rainforest and are truly living alongside the local wildlife! We woke up the first morning and had the tucans knocking at our windows to say "hi" and possibly get some bites of banana!! We had our little terrace outside full of geckos keeping us clear from mosquitos in the evening, and a little bird nest on top of our roof which gave us a very intimate insight into the little birds' family life. It was like living in a dream! From our terrace, there was a "sendero" (footpath) into the jungle, which led to swimming pools 1 and 2. William who is running Princesa de la Luna also offers private or small group tours into the jungle, accessing directly from the Ecolodge. He will tell you a ton of incredibly interesting information about the forest and the wildlife within! Highly recommended!

Our room had an odor of bug spray and it was hot bc there is not air conditioning (which we knew).

Overall, this place is authentic. Definitely remote. The drive to the place is up a very rocky road. The staff was great! The food was delicious! It is a unique experience. If you have trouble walking, it may not be the best place for you. The pool is actually down below the property a good 200 steps. Also with limited parking, you do have to walk quite a ways to your room. Beautifully landscaped. Great outdoor kitchen.

Stayed in March 2024

The beds were a bit hard. No air conditioning. We didn't stay long enough to get to the pool.

This place is a little off the beaten path. If you want the feeling of living like a real Costa Ricaian, this place is for you. The breakfast was great. The staff were amazing. We found the place easy because William is very efficient with Whatsap. This place is up in the hills, in the jungle.

Beautiful place, views from terrace stunning, delicious dinner. We stayed obe night only but love to come back and spend more time there!

Everything was fine. Do not expect any luxury but the style of accommodation perfectly fits with the surrounding nature.

Get up early and sip your coffee on the terrace admiring the majestic volcano Arenal. It won’t take long and the toucans will appear. This place surely has its magic.

pool was too difficult to walk to.

The food was excellent. Breakfast was great with the best pancakes I have had in Costa Rica. Supper was very good.

The house we stayed in was very outdated and needs a renovation. Water was cold and the beds were uncomfortable. However, it seemed like the rooms in the main lodge may have been newer.

Amazing staff who accommodated our every need and was very responsive. Very friendly and kind especially when my husband got injured. Outstanding, abundant and very affordable food. Beautiful grounds with lots of birds, and waterfall. Most awesome adventure tour with Allen with a waterfall swim and hike through the river. Lovely setting at the main lodge for meals. It was also a cultural experience with interacting with staff in our broken Spanish. Although the manager spoke very good English. Spacious 3 bedroom house for our family.

Stayed in January 2024

The facilities are a bit basic and the breakfast is a bit expensive. But both more than enough and worth your while.

The staff is so kind and awesome! The place is amazing, it's so natural and beautiful. Immersed in nature, but close to la fortuna. The lodge was spacious and the beds comfortable.

A bit too rustic for our taste - but still an overall good experience.

The staff (William and his wife) took great care of us, tasty homestyle breakfast/dinner, location within a forest was great.

The road to the lodge is unmade, long and needs to be driven slowly, but the benefit is minimal traffic past the lodge and a sense of being in your own little paradise. Not a complaint, but be aware although there are 2 showers (one outside), there is only one toilet. If you have teenagers who hog the bathroom, it can be frustrating, but there are additional toilets in the main reception and in the restaurant!

The lodge is set in the most beautiful rainforest park, with trails to a waterfall and river walk. In the mornings we could watch hummingbirds flitting around the flowers just outside our house. We did the adventure tour on our first morning, which starts with a traditional breakfast and then follows these trails, which we felt confident to take on our own later in the week. Note: you will get very wet! But water shoes, rather than walking boots were perfectly ok to do the walk in, as much if it is in the river. William, the manager, led the tour and his knowledge of the plants and birds in the area is extensive. We ate twice at the lodge restaurant in the evening and the food was delicious. Simple, flavoursome and fresh. We stayed in the 3 bedroom pineapple house. It is spacious and suited our group of 6 perfectly. The kitchen was small but had everything we needed to self cater simply for 6 nights. There is a good size swimming pool around 60m down into the forest which was clean, quiet and beautifully situated with rainforest all around it.

We had a car.. but if you didn't have a car may be annoying as the property is 10 min drive from Center. But if you're after chill and relax time in nature then definitely worth booking

Amazing big property with walks and wildlife everywhere. We had toucans every morning right outside our window. Food was really good. Really private place. Staff were also really helpful and friendly. Would come again!

The lighting in the the room was very dark - even in the daytime you could barely see. There was no air con.

Beautiful jungle setting right in the heart of the jungle and amazing view of the volcano on clear days

Unfortunately the swimming pool and jacuzzi were out of service

Excellent value for money, beautiful surroundings, particularly the terrace with lovely dogs and cats for the kids to play with.

the fact that the lodge don't have enough hamac, no view on the canope from the lodge, and the cleanliness was bad

the location, the breakfast (banana pancake in front of the canope is Wonderfull) the pool is really great in the middle of the forest, the common room is very nice, the tenant is very sympathetic and nice and answer all your request

Our room got a lot of insects at night coming through the screens. Would have liked finer screens to prevent this.

William was wonderful I helping recommending activities. The food they prepared was outstanding!

Stayed in August 2023

It would have been helpful to have more modern facilities in the kitchen - pans, crockery etc. Also, would be helpful to have mosquito nets on beds.

This lodge is in a fantastic location if you like being close to nature, and looking for birds and other wildlife. We saw a lot just from the balcony of the lodge. The manager was helpful with messaging and being there for support if needed.

Limited cooking options

Charming central building with more private lodges in the jungle. Cosy little pool next to the river. Very helpful host. Excellent breakfast. High quality restaurant and bar opposite to the lodges.

No signs from main road; very rough road to ecolodge; our cabin was very rustic (but clean).

Our family stayed in the large 3-bedroom cabin, surrounded by jungle, gorgeous tropical plants and mature trees, exotic birds on this remarkable and varied 10-acre property. A neighbour at the cabin next to ours saw a sloth on the ground (!!) just hours before we arrived. It was just a short walk to the main lodge where we enjoyed delicious, generous portions (breakfast & dinner) of typical local cuisine in the dining room looking over the jungle ravine. The adventure tour offered by ecolodge guides was a highlight: Walk along a steep, rough path to a stream, shower under a canyon-enclosed waterfall and splash in its pool, walk along the stream-bed, sometimes up to your chest in (pleasant temperature) fresh water, stop at a stream-fed pool for a therapeutic mud bath, all while bird-watching and delighting in the unique experiences.
