From the warmest staff, to the freshest food, to the lovely accommodations, this trip was remarkable. It exceeded my expectations by far. But the star of the show is the property and all that you can learn and be part of while you are there. We ventured out for the Hanging Bridges, Rio Celeste Hike, Eco Termales Hot Springs (all...

My husband and I just returned from our first trip to Costa Rica (or anywhere tropical for that matter) and we stayed at Finca Luna Nueva for two nights (May 5,6, 2013), as well as at three other ecolodges. We had a driver (yes the roads are a bit rough) and when we arrived at around 4 pm the first... More

Let me preface this by saying this: We were on our honeymoon and spoiled at our first hotel (on the beach) in Costa Rica, so anything would have paled in comparison. Finca Luna is a nice, quiet stay out in the middle of nowhere, and if that's what you're looking for, it's perfect. Here are some pros and cons we... More

Finca Luna Nueva Lodge is set up with cabins for family lodging and I traveled with school group. Everything was comfortable, the staff including the guides are knowledgeable and courteous. Our group had a wonderful time, whether we took an early morning bird walk, or swimming in the pool in the hot afternoons. The experience was very pleasant and very... More

Everyone and everything was simply lovely. The accomodations were clean and while simple quite comfortable. 4 of us stayed in one room and never felt like we were on top of each other. The food was delicious and I bought the recipe booklet so I could make the turmeric dressing at home! The people who worked there were all delightful... More

We stayed for 2 nights in a family cabin (3 of us including our 11 year old grandson). These are not air conditioned like some other units, but the ceiling fans do the job at night time. They are close to the restaurant and pool we could get Wi-Fi in our room from the restaurant. Rooms simply appointed, clean and... More

We were here at the end of March and it was a fantastic experience. The staff working here is so friendly and professional. The food is great, organic and cooked with so much care.

We stayed here for 2 nights at the beginning of our 10 day vacation. Three nights would be perfect. The accommodations are spotlessly clean, charming and all that you need. They are simple in the most perfect way - so that you are not distracted by the unnecessary things that you came here to get away from. Meals are served... More

This is a really lovely place. Very friendly staff and owners who have a sincere interest in eco-lodging. Our room was spacious and quiet with a huge wrap-around balcony that spans the entire perimeter of the building...hammocks included. That being said, this is not glamorous lodging, but comfortable and clean, somewhat like a mountain cabin feel with a great view... More

Official Description (provided by the hotel):
Finca Luna Nueva Lodge is a sustainable rainforest eco-lodge hotel, offering an intimate experience of primary rainforest together with a certified organic biodynamic farm.We began farming here in 1994, planting and harvesting organic ginger and turmeric, and promoting sustainable agriculture and conservation in the local community. In 2003 we decided to take our promotion of sustainable practices to the next level by building several beautiful eco-lodges using fallen timber from the farm.Since then we have added a 50 foot high observation tower, a solar heated Jacuzzi, an ozonated swimming pool, and a handicapped accessible rainforest trail. Now you can experience the Costa Rican rainforest, learn about our farm's sustainable practices and relax in our rustic yet luxurious accommodations.Walk through well-groomed rain forest trails on our guided farm tours and hikes, eat gourmet meals prepared from our fresh organic garden produce, and witness the majesty of the Arenal Volcano.For adventure activity enthusiasts, we are located only 35 minutes from La Fortuna, the adventure capital of Costa Rica, and home of world famous Arenal Volcano. La Fortuna is a must see destination for anyone seeking a thrill, and our experienced staff will be more than happy to schedule all of your activities and tours for you.With 13 rooms and 33 beds, accommodations can be made for both the traveler looking for an intimate getaway as well as housing for large groups and conferences. ... more   less
