“Cute pictures but not a great place”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed August 20, 2012

When we checked in we had 3 separate rooms and each one smelled horrible of mildew. The air conditioning helped to vent some of it out but 2 of the 3 rooms never really cleared. The rooms are nicely appointed but one of the doors didn't lock and there were no safes in the rooms. We felt safe enough because its pretty isolated. They claim its 1 kilometer to the beach but I'm pretty sure it's closer to 1 mile+. Not very convenient for going to the beach easily and quickly. Beware, the beach is beautiful but it is a national park so you have to pay $6 to enter unless its after 4pm and if it is high tide, there is not much beach to be on. The owners and staff of Luz de Luna are very nice and friendly and the restaurant was fantastic. Lovely balconies on the second floor and a cute and fun pool. I would stay someplace else if I return though.

“Clean, affordable and friendly”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed July 14, 2012

My boyfriend and I came and stayed for 5 nights. It was great! The place is super clean, the staff and the owners are beyond friendly, and the food at the restaurant was excellent (and I'm a picky eater). It was nice to have the pool and the air conditioning as well. My only complaint would be that the bed was a bit hard, but for the price this place can't be beat.

“Perfect, absolutely perfect!!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed July 9, 2012 via mobile

We got sick in Uvita and had to rest and heal for about two weeks... Not planed at all. At first we stayed at a hostel but it didn't fit our needs for a quite and peacefull place, we looked at other hotels to move and found this wonderfull hotel. The room, clean, comfy, quite and opens straight to the nice out door pool.
Patricia and Phelipe the owners treated us as we were family! Everything we needed was arranged imidietly and they kept asking for our health.
The location was perfect for us, its in a walking distance from the center ( where the doctors office :), and also a bit longer walking distance from the beach.
The last amazing thing about this place is the great italian restaurant they have. The best food ( and in 2 weeks in the same spot we tried most of it) in town, fresh, healthy and perfect service!
All we can say is that we would recommend this hotel to anyone and if we are ever back in Uvita, for sure we will be back in Luz de luna!!!

“Sweet modernist design, quiet corner of the coast”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed June 15, 2012

We stayed here this February and found it an oasis on our 4 month journey. It was clean and quiet with nice modernist design, very simple lines and good layout. The hostess and host were warm and accommodating. Nice balcony upstairs. The restaurant had some good dishes, and then breakfast included in the price was good.

Room Tip: We like the upstairs room because of more privacy, the view and and it was a little quieter.

“Loved the people and the food, and very clean.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed April 9, 2012

They do need a sign for their hotel so it's easier to find, but what a great place. I can't wait to go back. Just being there on the patio I could bird-watch, take pictures of the gorgeous flowers in their lush garden, and then go down and order the pesto bruschetta, and just down the road 10 minutes is the most beautiful beach I've ever seen. It's a small place and your worries can't follow you because there is no reason for worry there.

Room Tip: they don't have a fitness center or spa but their pool is very clean!
