Good location with trails and rainforest however this is basically a 1-2 star hotel. They don't clean your room or surroundings once you check in, there is a limit on number of towels and it's far from the town.

We thought the property was beautiful and the beds were very comfortable. The dogs and cats were super nice and loving as well. The ambience was truly wonderful. It was a bit difficult to find staff at times and we never found the pool- but we were gone during the day and the darkness sets in around 6 pm. Overall it was a very cool place to stay and everyone was very friendly.

Simple facility- beautiful surroundings.
While the room was quite spartan, the grounds are beautiful, as is the large deck with a spectacular view of the volcano, Arenal. The staff, especially Anderson and William, were warm, friendly, immediately responsive. Communal meals were delicious and a fun way to commune with fellow travelers. The only disappointment was the distance from the Arenal national park- a good 40 to 45 minute drive from the resort.

This was a horrible hotel to stay with a family which had leaking restrooms and the place had minimal lights and lots and lots of bugs and insects. We ended up sleeping in the car

Princesa de la Luna Ecolodge surpassed our expectations. Don William picked us up at the airport on time and drove us the two hours to the ecolodge. We stopped along the way. He and his wife are the nicest people I have ever met. They were kind and attentive to our needs at all times. The hotel feels like we are in the middle of the jungle with the most amazing views of the surroundings and we also were able to see the Arenal Volcano from our balcony. Dinner and breakfast were delicious, tropical and on time.

Property is stunning with trails and waterfall, pools and mud bath. Staff is exceptional (esp Anderson). Love the dogs, too (missing you, Princess)!!!
Offers breakfast and lunch and there's a nice restaurant only a few steps away (2 for cocktails)
Might be best suited for guests younger than I (70 ), but staff was so helpful. This place is absolutely beautiful!

Very good value for money, very quite and with friendly staff and a location right in the forest. The view from the common areas is spectacular.
Has the best natural pool you will find in the forest!
Offers dinners for 15$ and breakfast for 7$
The last 400m road to the lodge is a bit rough but doable in all cars

An absolutely beautiful and unique place to stay. The trees and plants and flowers are lush and gorgeous. The staff is friendly and helpful. Convenient to nearby attractions and activities.

Beautiful setting, great service, friendly staff
This place is amazing! The setting is out of this world, you are basically surrounded by a tropical forest. The rooms are plain but clean, but the ambience has exceeded our expectations!
The staff are friendly and the service superb. Couldn't have found a better place to stay. If you stay there, make sure to do the Adventure Tour, my teenager rated it as one of the best experiences in La Fortuna!

Everybody STAY HERE. Staying at Princesa de la Luna Ecolodge was a DREAM. Our cabin had the most amazing views to the rainforest, and the service was amazing. William, Wilmar and everybody made us feel welcome and very well taken care of. I 100% recommend the tour around the Ecolodge, it was actually where we saw the most animals in our entire trip to Costa Rica. Also, make sure to have breakfast and dinner there. It is cooked right then and there, and OH MY! The most amazing banana pancakes and the tastiest chicken I've had. Gracias, gracias y gracias a todos por la mejor estadía.

Skip this eco resort - very rough
Our most disappointing stay in a long time. We were up the hill with our own unit but a main light was missing in the big room, wooden shutters with no screens in bedrooms. H ad to ask owner to come show us how to turn on stove. The pluses - great balcony view, dinner was excellent, breakfast overpriced so we only ate it once. They said 2 swimming pools - 1 was empty and the other had tadpoles. We had roosters under the house that got us stayed early.

The lodge was super clean. It was perfect for a nice mtn get-away. I stayed there with four women total and there was so much space the deck was beautiful recommend you take a hammock and spend tine out there. Some things to know before you go though. There are no screens or curtains on the bedroom windows so I had a hard time sleeping one night worried becuse anyone could put there hand thru. But bugs were not an issue surprisingly. There is hot water in each bathroom and a place to wash cloths. Really just pretedn you are going to an old lack cabin with limited amenities. My friends and loved that feel. But we wished we had a false sense of security with curtains on the windows. Also there is nothing really up the mtn so i recommend you are ready to turn in before uu head up and a car with 4x4 or one that is not low to the ground its a dirt road at points.
