“Great staff”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed March 9, 2013

The room was wonderful, but the reasons to stay here are the food and the staff. The restaurant was willing to make a vegetarian meal on request. The staff were extremely accommodating and worked very hard to make sure that I had the tours that I wanted, that I was picked up at the hotel by the bus to take me to my next destination. There are no phones in the rooms, but the front desk always helped me make calls.
Again, all the staff was extremely helpful and made me feel as though my stay was very important to them.

“Yoga Retreat Spectacular!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed March 8, 2013

A short distance outside of Jaco set back into the country side is DoceLunes Hotel and resort. The staff is attentive and courteous to all. The staff will schedule excursions or make reservations at local restaurants for you. The yoga studio is set up the hill overlooking the tree tops. Exotic birds fly by while you practice. Refreshing pool available on site or a short walk through town takes you to a gorgeous ocean. Full body massage and scrub at the spa to help you relax into your vacation.

“Uniquely beautiful property”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed March 7, 2013

Doce Lunas is a quiet refuge from the crowds of Jaco beach, and a great option if you want your time here to be a quiet retreat. Set back on a sprawling estate at the base of a hillside, the grounds are majestic both night and day. The over-sized pool is the nicest one we've seen in Costa Rica, and features a relaxing waterfall. Our suite was spacious and full of wonderful original artwork, most of which was inspired by, and created on, the grounds of the hotel. Very clean, with modern amenities including cable TV, cold air conditioning, and a stereo system. Breakfast and dinner at the restaurant were good, and the staff were friendly.

“Thank you night security”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed March 3, 2013

This was the only night we did not have a reservation in Costa Rica, as we left the NW Pacific beaches which were not as beautiful as we thought they might be. We thought it would be easy to find a room between Los Baulasand Jaco, but discovered there were extremely few hotels along the way. Jaco was in the midst of a surfing contest and partygoers from San Jose flooded the place. Due to the almost always accommodating and friendly Ticos, a room was found for us at Doce Lunas, a couple kilometers out of town away from the beaches and activity. Night staff who hablan no Ingles, and my little Spanish got us a room for the night. As we arrived at midnight, the place was quiet and the grounds dark. But we got a superb room and discovered the next day immaculate grounds and well maintained facilities. If one wants to relax in a secure environment and enjoy the encroaching jungle with birds and flowers galore, and enjoy a spacious room with a grand shower/bath and pool, this is a great place removed from the hub-bub of Jaco. Wish we could have stayed longer!

Room Tip: I am certain anywhere at this facility would be nice.

“Great Find in Costa Rica”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 26, 2013

DoceLunas is a beautiful place near to Jaco Beach. It has lovely,well maintained grounds in a very natural setting. The room we stayed in was spacious and beautiful. The hotel staff was helpful and service was very good. It is a short walk to the beach, in a very quiet location. My friend and I have nothing but good things to say about excellent property.
