Very welcoming staff. Close to downtown Tamarindo and beach, walking distance! Room was comfortable for four of us except the beds were too hard as well as pillows. Nice place to stay.

The bathrooms are a bit old and could be renovated. Black out drapes definitely needed.

Great hotel to stay at
Great little hotel, secluded and only a block or two from the beach. Great to get away from the noise of downtown. Very relaxing place to stay.

My kids and I loved Hotel Luna Llena! We appreciated that although everything is in walking distance, we felt like tucked away from the craziness of the night life. The staff is welcoming and warm. Hotel Luna Llena is perfect for travelers who are looking for a well-maintained, relaxing, and family-compatible smaller hotel that provides a perfect base station for exploring Tamarindo. Highly recommended!

Russell, the property manager, was helpful and accommodating. Breakfast was great and made to order. I requested something on the healthy side and received just that. The manager also took time away to show me the way into town.
Most impressive, I saw how he diffused and prevented (obnoxious friends of a guest) from staying at the property.
This quaint hotel is a well run machine with gracious and friendly staff! I look forward to staying again!

Overall the staff was friendly and courteous epically manager (Catherine). I did recommend blackout curtains for second floor due light shining through at night.

We found the staff very friendly and accommodating. The little separate round houses were quaint. The grounds were pretty and well maintained. Breakfast was wonderful and cooked right at the pool bar area
