The property was unique and very well cared for. So many tropical plants covered the grounds that it brought in iguanas, monkeys, birds and butterflies. The restaurant is fabulous and the staff is very genuine. We are very happy with our time here

You’re right in the jungle, excellent grounds, small, quiet, boutique. Staff is very helpful and kind. Very reasonably priced. Rooms are large and facilities are well maintained. Our room was spotless with a very large balcony to observe the wildlife and listen to the monkeys.

Beautiful hotel with lovely and helpful staff
Due to the location in the jungle one evening there was an attack of ants on my room. The manager immediately transferred me to the big suite. In general the cleaning was excellent.

The hotel staff is friendly. The grounds are beautiful. The room was an individual villa with a deck overlooking tree tops and was a great view. The beach is probably a kilometer away. The bathroom and shower are connected to the room but outdoors and covered and are very nice. The free breakfast was excellent

Excellent location, small and perfectly formed
Luna Azul has a very welcoming atmosphere and staff, beautiful gardens full of wildlife and a pool with great rainforest and distant pacific views, particularly at sunset. We loved the open air restaurant and lounge/bar. Breakfast is tasty and substantial and excellent dinners are chosen from a blackboard menu which changes daily. The 'sofa bed' was large and comfortable and could be configured as two singles so the room was great for a family of 4. The location is very peaceful and extremely convenient for the turtle nesting (in season) at Ostional, fantastic surfing at Playa Marbella to the north (where the Tiki Hut is a top spot for lunch) and Playa Guiones to the south (when the ford on the road to Nosara isn't too deep). Rolf provides great advice on what to do locally. The road in from the north was a bit rough but no problem in a 4WD.

Wow, stunning oasis in the jungle
This is one of the coolest places I've ever stayed. It's a spectacular little paradise in the jungle, with first-rate food, super cleanliness, amazing service and friendliness, high convenience. Wildlife abounds: iguanas, armadillos, howler monkeys.

A Wonderful Stay
Hotel Luna Azul was a wonderful place to stay. Our hosts and their staff were excellent and helpful. We enjoyed the quiet, beautiful surroundings. Our room was very comfortable and lovely. Our balcony faced the ocean. We enjoyed having a restaurant right there. Delicious meals! The unpaved roads are bumpy, so just know this in advance.

Exceptional customer service
The owners, Ralph and Andreas are extremely nice, patient and passionate about their work. They don't go after money but instead go out of their ways to meet your needs. The environment is very nice. We saw monkeys, dragons, etc. A hidden gem!

Extremely friendly and helpful staff. The owners are travel buffs with some impressive resumes, so don't hesitate to ask for their advice. The food at their restaurant is fantastic! Rent a car and enjoy the crazy roads up and down the coast. There are many great beaches just a short drive away. Driving is like a video game.
