Relaxing and rejuvenating rain forest lodge

5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed May 5, 2019
I am a repeat visitor to Finca Luna Nueva Lodge and hope to keep coming back for many years to come. Finca Luna Nueva is a little slice of heaven and is a perfect escape for retreat groups, solo travelers, couples and families. In addition to being a beautiful lodge with a delicious restaurant, stunning bar and lounge area, and chemical-free pool and hot tub, it is also a working biodynamic farm. Each guest of Finca is treated to a tour of the farm, where you can learn about biodynamic agriculture and native plants, and see how deeply the staff cares for the environment. Much of the food served in the restaurant is grown on their farm, and is completely free of pesticides, chemicals and preservatives. Finca Luna Nueva borders the Children's Eternal Rainforest, so there are beautiful rainforest trails on the property that guests can explore for free. Guided tours are also available, with topics ranging from medicinal plants to birdwatching to chocolate making and night hikes. Hundreds of beautiful bird and plant species can be found at Finca, so it is a perfect place for nature lovers. Many excursions can be arranged to explore the surrounding area. The staff at Finca Luna Nueva are so lovely. They are friendly and knowledgeable and do their best to make their guests feel welcome. I couldn't recommend Finca Luna Nueva enough!
Date of stay: May 2019
Room Tip: All rooms are beautiful with stunning views. Choose a family or private bungalow if you...

    Beautiful property. Staff is kind and helpful. Nice place to relax. Food is fresh with local products and amazing. Difficult to access if not motorized but staff will help with taxi. Beautiful yoga platform. It would be nice if the Finca organized scheduled classes.

    Room tip: No A/C but as the nights are a bit colder in this area, did not cause any inconvenience at night but room is hot during the day.

    This is a great place to stay just outside of Arenal. It's much more quiet and peaceful than the main town. The food at the restaurant was really good. We didn't go on any of the tours because we didn't have time, but we wish we had.

    Finca Luna Nueva is a great choice to relax and spent time with family and friends. It has amenities and activities to enjoy and the staff is very helpful and friendly. It is a bit far from activities in la Fortuna area (~30mins) but if you want to be away and relax it is a good choice.

    Room tip: I stayed in room #10 and it has its own private balcony overlooking the forest. Very nice.

    Stayed with two little kids for two nights. The pool was great fun for them. The buffet lunches and dinners where among the best we had in CR, they focussed on locally grown veggies and whole grains. Hadn't seen that anywhere else in CR. The farm tour was extremely educational. We learned about how the methods they use to minimze the impact of the farm itself and get the best quality foods for consumption in their restaurant. Can fully recommend!

    A fantastic discovery in a lodge surrounded by nature only. An amazing experience with the family on the private trail where you will have good chance to photo shoot some wild animals and birds. The pool was also THE big plus for our little kid. Congratulations to the team and the owner.
