“Adventure, unwinddddd, relaxxxxx....”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 20, 2013

Self sustaining farm. Thoroughly enjoyed the fresh fruits and vegetables served daily. Friendly, accommodating staff. Very clean rooms. Certainly could hear at night the environmental sounds.
Steep walking paths. There is a golf cart to move you about if necessary. Can loose yourself, with the no stress. Showers, toilets,, expected accommodations for rain forest environment.

Room Tip: Stayed in main lodge. Need to be respectfully quiet as walls are shared.

“A lasting memory”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 18, 2013

My son and I just visited this quiet, serene bio dynamic farm and loved every minute of it. We arrived just in time for dinner which was fresh and wonderful. There are only a few rooms and separate cabins so you get to meet like-kind folks very easilly. The accomodations had two beds and were very clean. There is a beautiful pool and hot tub for relaxing on site, The staff is very friendly and hekpful. If you like they will give you a tour of the farm which we found very educational. Ishmael was our guide and we left feeling like he was family. All staff is wonderful. I highly recommend staying here to get away from the crowds.

“Relax and unwind at this eco friendly lodge”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 17, 2013

A beautiful, eco friendly environment. Great very high treehouse with outrageous views. Our large family group booked 3 bungalows and all 4 rooms of the lodge. Below the 4 rooms is a communal open air area, perfect for our group gatherings. There's a kitchen, bar, wifi, computer, seating, tables and lots of room. Who says you can't party on New Year's Eve in the rainforest? Loved the very helpful staff. The location was close enough to enjoy all the activities available in the surrounding areas...hot springs, rafting, canyoneering and zip lining. It was a memorable experience in a beautiful setting....but bring the bug spray if you're sensitive to bites.

Room Tip: #2 and #3 are slightly larger rooms of the 4 in the lodge.

“Fascinating and beautiful place”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 14, 2013

My family (two adults two teens) spent three nights at Finca Luna Nueva, a working organic farm in the rain forest just a few hours from San Jose. We toured the farm with the owner Steven, a walking encyclopedia on tropical plant usage and biodynamic culture. Ishmael led us on a night walk to discover frogs and insects. We lounged at the pool and ate healthy meals prepared from meat and produce grown on site. We felt at home.

“Could live here for ever - Great organic food, wonderful tours”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 13, 2013

(positives)
+ Amazing staff, super friendly, helpful, great at their job
+ Food!! Best food we have had in a long time, healthy, tasty, organic, large portions, sooo fresh
+ Animals everywhere! We spotted countless frogs, sloths, toucans an iguana, and tons of birds right on our porch.
+ Ismael was our tour guide for the on-site rainforest tours, amazing man, always smiling and full of knowledge.
We recommend the night rainforest walk
+ Great value - For dinner we paid $15 and got 4 courses...Not sure what others are saying on this site regarding food, it was fantastic and always more available just by asking, (never paid any more.)
+ Facilities - spa, jacuzzi, pool. An no chemicals at all. Ozone filtered.
+ They supply organic shampoo and conditioners.

This is for a different type of holiday, if you want to relax, be secluded & be surrounded by nature, this is for you.

(negatives)
- A bit tricky to get around, unless you have a rental car or you book tours to pick you up.
- The walls are pretty thin in the main lodge (you can stay in cabins around 5 minutes walk away from the reception/restaurant)

Overall an amazing experience, could easily live there for months :) You would be crazy not to go and experience this!

Room Tip: Room 1,2,3,4 are in the main lodge, all have wifi and close to everything you need. Cabins are quie...

Official Description (provided by the hotel):
Finca Luna Nueva Lodge is a sustainable rainforest eco-lodge hotel, offering an intimate experience of primary rainforest together with a certified organic biodynamic farm.We began farming here in 1994, planting and harvesting organic ginger and turmeric, and promoting sustainable agriculture and conservation in the local community. In 2003 we decided to take our promotion of sustainable practices to the next level by building several beautiful eco-lodges using fallen timber from the farm.Since then we have added a 50 foot high observation tower, a solar heated Jacuzzi, an ozonated swimming pool, and a handicapped accessible rainforest trail. Now you can experience the Costa Rican rainforest, learn about our farm's sustainable practices and relax in our rustic yet luxurious accommodations.Walk through well-groomed rain forest trails on our guided farm tours and hikes, eat gourmet meals prepared from our fresh organic garden produce, and witness the majesty of the Arenal Volcano.For adventure activity enthusiasts, we are located only 35 minutes from La Fortuna, the adventure capital of Costa Rica, and home of world famous Arenal Volcano. La Fortuna is a must see destination for anyone seeking a thrill, and our experienced staff will be more than happy to schedule all of your activities and tours for you.With 13 rooms and 33 beds, accommodations can be made for both the traveler looking for an intimate getaway as well as housing for large groups and conferences. ... more   less
