Cala Luna Boutique Hotel & Villas

We had our wedding here at Cala Luna, and it was the best decision. All of our family and friends were amazed at the property and everything it has to offer! Our wedding coordinator, Carol, made the whole process so easy, giving us so many options and ideas, as well as able to ask questions through WhatsApp when we didn’t want to set up a whole meeting! The wedding could not have been better. We had the best couples massage ever, and the bridal yoga session we had was the best way to start off our wedding day! The staff is absolutely amazing and sweet, and able to make you feel so special! We will keep coming back here for years to come!

This spot is such a vibe. My wife and I felt like we were dropped into a set on White Lotus. It's far enough that its quite but close enough to hire a golf cart or take a nice walk into Tamarindo. You might also check in and never leave. While it lacked soft sand, the adjacent beach is deserted with rocky outcrops and beautiful tide pools. A nice respite from the overcrowded main beach and it's constant intrusion by merchants selling frog whistles. Stay by the pool, grab a signature cocktail and play with the cats Cala and Luna while waiting for the troop of Howler Monkeys to traverse the rooftops in the afternoon. We loved it.

My family (husband, kids ages 11 and 9, and grandparents) recently stayed in a 3 bedroom Villa at Cala Luna and found the property to be beautiful, with a relaxing atmosphere, excellent food, and a friendly staff. The setting is lovely, sound baths are amazing, and we enjoyed the location being a bit removed from Tamarindo. Unfortunately, our stay included an issue that was concerning. While we were out on a tour, several items went missing from our room, including a cell phone, a small jewelry box with my daughter’s belongings, and clothing. These items were in the room when we left and were missing when we returned. We understand that incidents can happen while traveling, however this was an expensive property and one of the reasons we chose it was because it appeared to offer a higher level of security and peace of mind. For that reason, this experience was particularly disappointing. We did report the situation to the hotel, the staff expressed their sincere apologies and said they would follow up after reviewing room access logs and cameras. Overall, the property itself is very nice, but we would encourage future guests to take extra care with any valuables, and don't bring any item, including clothes that you wouldn't mind going missing. Unfortunately these things happen even at nice resorts.

My experience at the Cala Luna has been nothing short of a perfect experience.. the grounds are impeccably kept, a well thought out boutique hotel with just enough of everything, a wonderful outdoor yoga/fitness studio, pristine & quant beach exposure, & wonderful service from Johnny at the front desk to Henry & Maru at the meals. Did I mention how incredible the Michelin level meals were? I’ll definitely be coming back next time I visit Costa Rica!!

I don't even know where to start with reviewing Cala Luna... what an incredible place, staff, beach, location, everything! I just had my wedding here with about 95 guests and the planning team of Carol & Silvia were an absolute DREAM TEAM! I knew next to nothing about planning a wedding, and somehow, they helped us plan a wedding beyond our wildest dreams and expectations. We planned everything in 6 months, and it was the easiest & smoothest planning process I have ever seen or witnessed of a wedding, especially one where you're bringing 95 people to Costa Rica from all different places. The team handled so many logistics that made the entire experience so enjoyable for us and all of our guests, and blew all of our expectations out of the water in terms of the design, the food, & the scheduling & coordination of the day. The hotel grounds give you the best of both worlds of Costa Rica, where the beautiful beach & forest feel with wildlife collide. The hotel is absolutely stunning & serene to walk through, the rooms are beautiful, clean, and provide an incredible sense of privacy, the farm to table food was all amazing & fresh, the drinks NEVER missed, the beach that you access from the hotel is one of the most stunning spots in Costa Rica that I've been to watch the sunset (& to get married ;)), and is close enough to everything in town via walking, biking, or driving a golf cart, while still being enough distance away to really feel the sense of a relaxing & serene vacation. Part of the reason we've always loved Costa Rica is because the people are so incredible & kind, and the entire Cala Luna staff was no different. They provided us & our guests with the best service in every category. Truly one of the dreamiest hotels & stays I've ever experienced, and on top of which, they gave us the most special, beautiful wedding that we will remember and reminisce on for the rest of our lives. We can't wait to come back and continue creating memories here in the future, and we will be forever grateful to Cala Luna hotel & staff, Carol, Silvia, Chef Gian Carlo and Chef Ignacio, and the restaurant manager Sofia for curating the wedding and experience of a lifetime.

My family and I stayed at Cala Luna during the last week of June 2026. I had a very difficult time choosing where to stay for our first trip to Costa Rica. Our stay far exceeded my expectations. Firstly, the resort itself is aesthetically beautiful and very natural, with monkeys and exotic birds taking up residence within its trees. We stayed in a two bedroom villa that was large, comfortable and perfectly decorated. The food was delicious, healthy and organic and our trip to the farm where the produce at the restaurant is grown was very informative. The most impressive aspect of our stay was the staff. The manager Carol was so helpful and congenial and other staff members like David made our stay the most pleasant we’ve ever had while traveling. He even offered to pick up our food at a local restaurant so we wouldn’t have to leave our villa. Cala Luna is representative of the phrase, Pura Vida, and we cannot wait to go back!

The grounds are lovely,but no gym and the wellness classes were really limited - not necessarily a deal breaker but something to be aware of. A bit further from town (about a mile walk) which could be a positive or a negative based on what you are expecting.

We had a really relaxing time at Cala Luna - the suite was really clean and well stocked with towels and products. The staff are super friendly and attentive- we booked multiple trips with the front desk and they were great. We also had massages and treatments which we amazing. The pool was a nice environment and the beach was a quick walk through the trees and a little beach bar. Lots of birds, monkeys and other animals. Was an super easy relaxing break. Thank you!

Great service and location. Dont miss the sunsets in what felt as our private beach. David was particularly attentive, making sure we booked our activities with time so we didnt miss out on anything.
