Princesa de la Luna 'Eco Lodge' experience is everything one imagines a stay in Costa Rican paradise to be. The house ,complex perches on the edge of the valley providing incredible views of the the jungle spread out below and the volcano looming over the far side of the valley. These views were one of many reasons that NBC chose to shoot part of their reality show, 'Love In The Wild,' here. 'Highly, highly recommend it for groups and families...' The Ecolodge provides a unique lifestyle experience by social integration with the local community. The kitchen/dining room area accommodates up to 30 people. There you will often find bunches of bananas and coconuts hanging from hooks and ready to be used. Large, locally made wooden tables provide functional preparation and dining area and there are propane and wood fired stoves as well as a microwave, toaster and coffee maker. There is also a brick grill/oven with a motorized spit large enough for a full pig or a half dozen chickens if you decide to have a party. The kitchen has everything that you need to prepare your own meals. There are a variety of ways for you to enjoy your time here including MILES of maintained paths created over the course of nine years. The paths are lined with carefully selected plants and the forests have been very carefully maintained to achieve a blend of cultivated fruit and sustainable gardening, park land and virgin forest. By using proper plants and sustainable permaculture techniques, we've achieved a unique experience here. Maintained grounds gradually give way to more rustic views, which gradually blend into permanent, untouched, virgin jungle. One of the trails ends at a stream that cuts its way down through heavy plant growth and a unique, 'weeping wall' of black earth that is covered in a variety of orchids. Along the way you'll discover not one but two swimming pools. One is slightly more conventional with maintained plants and gardens around it and is fed by pure spring water. The other is hidden at the end of a hike to the bottom of the valley next to the stream. It is fed directly from the little stream, there are NO CHEMICALS used in either. Just a continual supply of fresh, clean water flowing into the pools and then back out into the stream.Right now the main swimming pool is functional and swimable but needs tiles to be replaced and general maintenance so it is not as well presented as in the fotos!! Sometimes we have difficulty changing the water as from the Natura Spring it can take time to fill up...but most of the time it is usable.. Two German guests recently described their hike to the waterfall and enjoyment of the river pool as the best thing that they've done so far in Costa Rica, saying that the river pool looked as if it had been built by elves and had a 'feel of magic to it.' The River Pool is only sometimes available, as it is prone to flooding after heavy rains. However both are excellent spots for secluded picnics and relaxed enjoyment... either alone or with special friends. Back at the house you'll find that the line between indoor and outdoor living has been blurred. Huge bedrooms open out onto balconies and a variety of sitting areas, all of which are appointed with interesting curios, wall art and a profusion of plants. Several of the rooms are connected via open hallways lined with tropical gardens instead of actual walls, providing the perfect balance between security and the impression of living right in nature itself. The natural flow from the balconies into the dining/kitchen area take you past a small, bamboo paneled bar that is right next to a sitting area with a stereo and which easily converts into a dance floor. The hanging bunches of bananas attract toucans and other birds. While writing this I was watching a Keel Billed Toucan munching away on a plantain with great enthusiasm. Other animals in the area include kinkachoos, a dizzying variety of lizards and lots of other animals. A guest recently described his experience here by saying, 'It takes a minute to sink in that this is not a zoo and not an animal reserve. It's an actual house, right in the middle of paradise and all of these birds, animals and everything else are real, here and natural!' I think that his comments sum up the experience here quite nicely. We are only 5 kilometers away from down town La Fortuna, meaning that you are minutes away from all of the typical activities and tours that you might enjoy including: \* Hanging Bridges \* Zip Lines \* Hot Springs \* ATV and other rentals \* Butterfly Conservatory \* Eco-Snake Zoo \* Horseback Riding \* Volcano Hikes \* Rafting \* Canyoning and Rappelling \* Bird Watching \* Swimming \* Much more We're happy to book activities on your behalf and can save you 5 - 10% if booked in advance. You'll find this house ideal for group getaways like family reunions, corporate retreats, group vacations, sports teams, civic groups etc. This place has been a labour of love for a decade and it is truly, one of a kind. I'm certain that you'll love your stay here and I'm looking forward to meeting you. ## Property amenities ### Pool/Spa - Communal pool - Massage - Outdoor pool - Private pool ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport -

You and your staff were quite helpful and friendly. The grounds were fabulous and very beautiful. The meals were outstanding and we felt like we were getting a taste of the Costa Rican cuisine. The resort was well laid out and allowed for some very good communal meeting places. We all loved the hike and wading through the river and the swim in the swimming hole along the way. I am a bit of a nature buff and very much enjoyed the trails. The views from the balcony are fabulous. ##### Robert N.

The rustic construction and natural design of the lodge blend beautifully with the surrounding jungle, creating an authentic and peaceful atmosphere. The large communal areas are perfect for groups, providing plenty of space to relax, socialize, and enjoy the stunning views. Whether you’re lounging in the open-air dining area or sitting around the hammocks, there’s always a place for everyone. Highly recommend this lodge if you're traveling with a big group looking for an immersive, nature-filled experience! ##### Alien G.

Firstly, with numerous ‘cabins’ the 16 of us were a very comfortable fit for the accommodations. It is quite rustic — no elevators, no air conditioning, lots of stairs — but the staff of the lodge were extremely friendly and helpful. Food was local fare and excellent. Probably not for one with infirmities, as it is situated on the side of a hill, and even walking down to the stream and pool required intact arms and legs. Perfect for our crew. ##### ROBERT C.

We hoped for a rain forest adventure nesr the volcano and it was better than we hoped. The overall property is spread out. We had 5 seperate rooms/bungalows to choose from. It slept our party of 12 very comfortably. William is a great host. You must take his waterfall tour, and allow the staff to make breakfast. The breakfast was outstanding and very affordable. We had William cook for us one night, that was also outstanding. William also helped set up some of our tours and for a small fee, drove us in their van. All of the services made for an exceptional stay. The beds and bungalows are a little dated, but that is part of the ambience, our entire group loved it. ##### Jimmy F.

The ecolodge is nestled in acres of rainforest but getting into town was just a few minutes away. We never tired of sitting on the large decks, and looking out over the tree tops at the Arenal volcano, with toucans nibbling berries just a few feet away. The adventure tour on the property, which was led by William, who is the caretaker at the property, was a great hike, including down a steam and to a waterfall. William was fantastic, taking us everywhere we wanted to go, suggesting excursions, restaurants and generally being a guide to everywhere and everything !

We all had a spectacular stay. Chef William and his staff could not have been any more accommodating! Food was excellent! He was absolutely the best, and Anderson was darling. This is not a place for people looking for a plush place. This is very rustic and outdoorsy. The adventure tour they offer is not for sissies! Great fun and very challenging. The cabins were very much like the pictures and everyone felt comfortable and loved how they were all very unique. New pillows would have been nice. I think all 20 of us would definitely recommend your place for anyone who wants an adventure! ##### Chris D.

We had an incredible stay at this VRBO, where the views of the jungle and Arenal Volcano were absolutely phenomenal. Our host, William, truly made our experience unforgettable. He coordinated all our adventures and his team prepared the most delicious meals using fresh local ingredients. Despite visiting during the rainy season, we were pleasantly surprised that the rain typically held off until late afternoon or evening. This allowed us to fully enjoy our hikes and activities without interruption. The beds were comfortable, and while there were fans in the rooms, we didn’t miss air conditioning thanks to the natural breezes. One of our favorite spots was the expansive covered deck area, where we spent our evenings relaxing and soaking in the stunning views. A few family members treated themselves to massages, which they described as wonderfully relaxing, especially with the soothing sound of rain in the background. If you're looking to experience the local flair and immerse yourself in a jungle environment, I highly recommend this VRBO. It’s a perfect getaway! ##### Kim-Marie B. Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### adam a. 18 Feb 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### A truly amazing and memorable experience I cannot say enough about the quality of experience our family had at Princesa de la Luna. We had our family of 17 ranging in age from 4 to 70 for my father's 70th birthday. The accommodations suited our family of 6 children and 11 adults perfectly with each small family having their own rooms. The property layout embraces the jungle experience with open air seating, kitchen and dining, incredible views and short, but somewhat technical, walks to 2 separate swimming locations. While all of this was incredible, what really sets this place apart from others I have visited is the quality and kindness of the staff. William and the staff are a group of wonderful individuals! We did the adventure tour on the property with our whole group and William led us through the jungle explaining what different plants were and letting us taste different fruits and herbs. We then hiked into a waterfall and down through the creek to the natural swimming pool where there was the option for a therapeutic mud bath. William and the staff also cooked every morning and night for our entire group and every meal was incredible. They even roasted a pig on the open wood fired oven for my father's birthday dinner complete with cake. ##### adam a.

This is not a Ritz Carlton - its an Ecolodge in the woods. A few mosquitoes, but what else do you expect? We also got to see Toucans there while in nature and sitting on hammock style swings :) In terms of laundry, Jimena did our laundry for 10/large bag.Fans worked (in Dec) - no AC needed. The day 2 Jungle Tour w/ breakfast for 35 per person was great for our group of 9 (ages 14-55) - and going up river was an adventure. For the excursion, make sure to wear closed toed water shoes, and if you can, ensure your daypack is waterproof. Our 2 guides were "Mr. Anderson" - 17 yr old, and his friend - they made the excursion very enjoyable. He discussed the plants on the properties, etc, and we had 3 dogs (including one that was almost blind), follow us most of the way.Breakfast / Dinner - standard fare - breakfast - juices/eggs/etc, costa rican rice, etc. Dinner: as our group all ate chicken, he grilled chicken for us (after Chef William reached out before the trip asking for allergies) -he also cooks fish, etc - as you wish. It was nice to have a 'chill day' at the resort.Pro - Excellent comm and friendly staff, clean rooms. Great views! Cons - NOT resort fault - but the road to get there is definitely bumpy/offroad - be prepared! Rooms had sparse furniture (would be nice for 1 table), no shampoo, and very dim lighting in room. ##### Jit S.

William, the guy manages the property is a great guy. He speaks good english and is always available for any questions. 2\. Location and the greenery on the property is great and well maintained. Bad: 1\. The whole building is old(ancient) and bad here. Very Bad hygiene everywhere in the building. 2\. ⁠The pics on the website are misleading. It’s not the same as the reality. I think the pics were taken when the property is new. 3\. \*Dead bugs everywhere. On the bed, sheets, furniture.\* 4\. ⁠Stinky fabric furniture/couch. Couldn’t sit for a min. It had dead bugs on it. I have pics and videos. 5\. ⁠No access to laundry but you can give your dirt cloths and they will do the laundry. 6\. ⁠Had plumbing issues but they managed to fix it. 7\. ⁠Bathroom are not in good condition but can get the bare minimum job. 8\. ⁠I’m not certain but I think they don’t wash/change the sheets when the guests leave. I observed while checking out. They simply make the bed with the old sheets. I’ll NOT recommend this property but if they take care of the hygiene issues then it will be a great place to stay. ##### Vikas B.

Very friendly hosts with availability for meals of traditional Costa Rican food to be made for us. The pool is a hike down a hill through the jungle to a spring fed pool- kids loved the adventure! So peaceful and beautiful plants everywhere, toucans and macaws and lots of other birds. Just so much fun! ##### Jamie H.

The property is beautiful, with views of the volcano and jungle. We loved our morning coffee watching for birds on the big porch. The property manager, William and his staff were amazing! We had delicious meals with a group of 24! Our morning hike through the river to the waterfall was awesome! William helped our group set up many activities with such ease. So many things to do in this area and a short drive to La Fortuna makes this a great place to stay! ##### Katie L.

William and his team took such great care of us! From cooking us wonderful meals to helping us plan all of our excursions, we were very well taken care of. I highly recommend the hike on the property. We had a great time zip lining, visiting the hot springs (the waterslide was so fun), volcano hike and chocolate/coffee tour. We also appreciated the great communication before and during our stay. ##### Carole E.

We loved our stay at Princesa de La Luna in La Fortuna! The property is stunning, with open, comfortable spaces and incredible rainforest views—just like a travel brochure. Though the pool is a short hike away, it’s lush and peaceful. The location felt safe and was perfect for exploring Arenal and Baldi Hot Springs. William, the on-site manager, was incredibly helpful with reservations, transportation, and local tips. We were a group of 19 and had plenty of space. The fresh meals prepared by the staff were amazing—especially the juice! Highly recommend! ##### Meredith M.

We took a great nature hike . Our overall experience was great. Our host was very accommodating and arranged all of our tours. The home was close to everything but far enough away to be quiet. ##### paul r.
