“Another perfect visit! Thank you Patricia and Simon!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 27, 2013

Is it wrong to write a review for one place three times!? Maybe, but each visit was unique and wonderful so here I go again! I don't write many reviews, only when I have something important to say. During our last visit to the Cabuya area we again stayed at Sol y Luna. I know, there are plenty of other wonderful places to stay in the area but we keep coming back to Sol y Luna because we know we will not be disappointed and we know we will thoroughly enjoy every minute we are there.

As everyone has said, Patricia and Simon are wonderful hosts. They really want you to enjoy your vacation. They are kind and very thoughtful people. The cottages are amazing and artistically appointed. I feel very relaxed when I am there and know that all I have to do is sit in the hammock and I will see wildlife. The proximity to everything the area has to offer is perfect. You can walk to the beach, or take a longer walk down the main dirt road to the Panaderia if you like (it's long but a flat walk). Cabo Blanco is only about 5 km away I think, and Montezuma is also very close. If you have a car, make sure to drive up to Curu Reserve where you might get a chance to play with the resident spider monkey who is very friendly as she walks the trails looking for visitors. All in all, you will NOT be disappointed with the area or Sol y Luna. We are going back again this April (yes, our 4th trip) and we cannot wait!

Make sure to consider their new cottage, Estrella. We haven't stayed there yet but Patricia and Simon gave us a tour and it is gorgeous!

“Costa Rican Dream”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 26, 2013

We stayed at Solyluna for two weeks and loved every second of it! Patricia and Simon are such gracious hosts and from the moment we arrived they helped us get familiarized with our surroundings and gave us great advise on places to visit, eat and see.

We stayed in Luna, it was charming and very clean. Our favorite time of day was morning when we were woken up by howler monkeys in the tree tops above and sitting on the porch having coffee with the capuchin monkeys waiting for some breakfast from us...that was by far my favorite part of this amazing peace of heaven called Solyluna.

The location was perfect for us since we do not enjoy staying at all inclusive resorts.
We did rent an ATV and had a blast getting around, you will be able to see a lot more of the area that way if you don't have a car. There is a local bus that we used quite often as well as taxis, so you really don't need a car.

We loved our stay and Patricia and Simon. Thank you both again for a wonderful place that you have and for sharing it with us.

Gabriella and Jim

Room Tip: Both bungalows are great!

“Perfect Costa Rica Experience”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 9, 2012

I stayed in a SolyLuna bungalow Sept.24th-Oct.2. This was the best Costa Rica experience. Patricia and Simon immediately helped orient me and made sure I was totally comfortable. This orientation included a comprehensive map of the area, explanation of the best sights and experiences, bus schedules and everything else they or I could think of. I think the river experience was my favorite - paradise doesn't get any better than that.
Sol y Luna is set only 500 meters from beautiful and serene Playa Los Cedros and yet the feel is totally 'in the rainforest'. The large property is lushly landscaped with all sorts of unique wildlife that can be quite friendly. The two bungalows and main house are set far apart so there is a good secluded feeling. The bungalow is very comfortable with lots of arty elements. A great place for a couple or a single. I very much wanted to get wildlife pictures and Simon and Patricia really created & assisted with Howler Monkey 'photo shoots'. Hilarious and perfect!
Patricia and Simon have also just completed their gorgeous new house called Estrella (star). For two people this is larger and more luxurious than the bungalows with some very cool & artsy design elements. I hope to stay there next next time!
Sol y Luna is a wonderful place with wonderful hosts! Thank you Patricia and Simon!
Sincerely, Lauretta

“Sol y Luna = excellent!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 8, 2012

Charming place that made our Honeymoon very special! Quiet and off the beaten path this is truly a place you can relax and enjoy a local Costa Rica experience. Patrice and Simon were gracious hosts and even prepared us a map of the Montezuma and Cabyua area with a host of things to do and see. Our favorite mornings were making breakfast and enjoying the setting and the wildlife from the front porch of the bungalow. We will definitely be back to visit. Bungalows are fantastic and every detail very charming!

Room Tip: 2 bungalows to choose from, with a larger one being prepared as I write this. It is evident that th...

“Perfect honeymoon spot!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 1, 2012

We just came back from a 10 day honeymoon in Costa Rica and Sol y Luna was BY FAR our favorite place that we stayed. It is perfect- it has everything you could need and nothing you don't. It just felt so real and natural. We thought we would finish our trip with a more "luxurious" place farther up north, but after Sol y Luna, nothing felt as authentic and romantic. Additionally, Simon and Patrice were such amazing hosts. Not only were they completely welcoming and warm, showing us the other bungalows on the property that they had built themselves (all beautiful i might add), they also helped us get a new rental car when ours broke down on the side of a mountain. Patrice got on the phone with the rental company and made sure that they went and got the first car that evening AND dropped off a new car for us by 10 am the next morning- we were SO grateful! We can't wait to go back!

Room Tip: We stayed in the Sol bungalow- which i loved the setting of, especially the solitude of the porch, b...
