We enjoyed it
We enjoyed our stay and the local wildlife. The hotel is in a good location, within walking distance to a bar and restaurant. The room has an exterior entrance for privacy, was large and had a mini fridge, which is appreciated. Coffee is only available in the main communal area, which is a bit inconvenient but at least it’s available.
The breakfast was plentiful and delicious!

The reception staff was very helpful, client oriented and friendly. She helped with tour booking and went out of her way delivering takeout to our room. Totally appreciated.

It was a nice 2 nite stay. We saw a toucan in their garden. The place has lots or greenery and foliage which makes it more relaxing. Breakfast was a bonus.
Despite making a plan for late check-in, we were not able to get into our room for almost an hour. No apologies were offered

Cozy secluded Place.
Welcoming Friendly Staff.
Quite location, lots of flowers, birds chirping. They had a sloth in living in their yard. Which we got to see all the days we were there. Breakfast was good. Loved the home made jam.
Overall, was a pretty cozy place to stay.
(Bed was pretty firm, but that’s a personal matter )

This place was an incredible deal! Wonderful and helpful staff, beautiful grounds, the room was great and outfitted well, and the location was perfect. I would definitely stay again. My kids loved the gardens and we could easily walk to town. They helped arrange dinner reservations and tours which were all excellent.

Great spot for a big family!
We LOVED our stay in the house of the hotel (Casa de Luna). It had plenty of beds and bathrooms for the whole family and it was nice and cool and comfortable. The surrounding plants and trees on the property are beautiful and so well-maintained, I loved seeing green parrots and other birds in the morning, and relaxing on the hammock. Plus it was close to so many great activities. I would definitely stay here again.

A definite suggestion for your stay
The service and location were great. The staff was very nice and friendly, and were so helpful with suggestions on tours and restaurants. You can walk (5 minutes) to plenty of restaurants in main town of Santa Elena. For animal enthusiasts like us it was great, we saw plenty of beautiful birds on property and we even saw a sloth on hotel property on the first day of visit. We will definitely be back to this property.

Great short stopover for family with kids with access to the Cloud Forest treetop and canopy tours. Kids loved the bathtub. Husband and I loved the walking distance to town. Grandma loved how comfortable the beds were. Super cute room decor and style.
