“Gem of a hotel in Santa Teresa”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 20, 2013

We stayed at Luz de Luna, based on NY Magazine recommendation, for four nights. My two friends and I were given a lovely "cabina" with two rooms, kitchen, lovely mosaic tiled bathroom and porch, complete with hammock. Pretty standard for relatively budget CR hotels, but this place has the added benefit of being staffed by the lovely and hospitable Sylvia. Sylvia took great care of us, gave us recommendations and helped us set up surfing lessons and a trip to Tortuga Island. She was well connected in the community and helped us to immediately set up activities. We found Luz de Luna to be very pretty, peaceful, away from the noise of the main road, and convenient to the beach. The pool is nice for dips later in the evening post-beach. The place was very well maintained and clean. Sylvia is a healer and offers excellent massage as well, which we took advantage of - well worth it!!!

Room Tip: All rooms are a good distance from the street and noise. Rooms/cabins are fairly close together.

“A lovely oasis”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 4, 2012

A very good place with a very reasonable price. They have a small, clean and very refreshing pool. Clean big rooms with mosquito nets and a fa.n. The owner (don't remember his name) was very helpful and laid back. After we moved in here I didn't want to go anywhere else even tough the beach is only 50 meters away. outside the cabins surrounding the pool is a very lush and beautiful garden with a green iguana (at least when i was there).

“Bang for buck”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 28, 2012 via mobile

Havier, the amazing French man running the show while we where there was the kindest and most friendliest host one could ever want. Helping us find the best deals for transportation by spending hours on the phone and negotiating for us as my Spanish is horrible. The personal bungalows where super clean and airy that even though there was no AC you couldn't complain. The pool was super clean and refreshing and the hammocks on your front porch made the exotic experience worth every lil penny spent.
I would go back there in a second. It has been my favorite place to sleep since the beginning of my trip, being close to anything you may need, and a host with a huge heart.
Do your vacation a favor and enjoy the small town of Santa Teresa in this amazing lil location.

“A fantastic place to stay, romantic and really charming”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed August 23, 2012

we've been really surprised by the quality of this place during our trip, we've been to 9 different place aroud Costa Rica, and this is our top 1 by far. The bingalowas are very clean, the bathroom is big and made with very good taste, all tropical wood made, 1 minute walking from the beach, wi-fi, swimming pool, you're in the jungle, you can see monkeys, iguanas, squerels it's really confortable and you can cook your own stuff in the bungalow kitchen. Really Strongly recommended.

“Don't look anywhere else!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed August 7, 2012

We found this hotel by chance and it actually saved our holidays.
Our experience was amazing, rooms are really clean and safe (digital locker), surrounded by trees and animals, 5min walk to paradise beach.
The last morning, I woke up early and I had the chance to see monkeys having their breakfast up in the trees... priceless.
A big thanks to Christophe, the owner for giving us good tips and best value for money.
Looking forward to go back soon.
