Everything was simply spectacular: the whole staff is always keen to help and make you feel at home, starting from Lana, the incredible owner of the lodge; the food is local, fresh and delicious; there is a whole range of activities that Lana organize - we even had the opportunity to participate to a Cacao ceremony that was quite an experience. You could literally spend from few days to few months in that lodge as you will always feel at home. The view of the yoga place is spectacular. Just keep in mind that the road to get there requires 4W car and a really expert driver, so if you don’t feel confident, is a good option to accept the lift from the lodge.

If you want an authentic jungle experience, this is the place to go! Located in the middle of the jungle the accommodation is rather basic but extraordinarily charming. The hosts are extremely friendly, welcoming and helpful, and also very knowledgeable about the jungle. You can use the several trails they have prepared to hike on your own in the jungle or ask their help. The homemade food was tasty, nourishing and very reasonable priced. I'd come back any time.

To say this place is special is an understatement, it is a phenomenal experience to stay here and hard to put into words why. The lodges are set in the middle of the forest with no lodge in sight of another. Literally feet from our veranda we had a family of monkeys swinging in the trees. There are dozens of species of birds just around you. It has been created so that the natural environment hasn’t been disturbed in anyway. The 3 course dinner served was probably the best we have had in our 4 weeks in CR and all for $24. Our tour guide Juan was brilliant, so knowledgeable and interesting. It was the best night tour we have done, way better than Monteverde. The staff are so professional and attentive too.

This place truly felt like home. We were able to experience the essence of Costa Rica, thanks to Lis and Danger, who treated us with such warmth throughout our stay. The room had a wonderful view, the food was amazing and authentic, and the surrounding forest was incredible. We highly recommend it!

    A quiet, under-developed tropical destination, immersed in...

    A quiet, under-developed tropical destination, immersed in the rainforest. There is no town per se, just properties immersed in green. Wonderful beaches, no one around for miles. The nearest bar / restaurant is 45 min away by car on a bad road. The nearest store is in Puerto Jimenez. Patchy cell phone reception. Spectacular nature, all around: birds, butterflies, monkeys.

    My wife loves Playa Carate, and enjoyed her time at this lodge. (I went along as good hubbie, as nature is not my thing, so these are her views). The cabin we had was rustic but spacious, set in the rain forest and with a great view. 3 types of monkey could be seen,and she reports the birding was very good. We stayed 3 nights, and went to the same spot on the beach each day. Carate is definitely the place to see macaws. My wife also loves its remoteness and isolation.

    This is the perfect place for nature lovers looking for some peace and quiet surrounded by gorgeous nature abundant with wildlife! We heard and saw spider monkeys, howlers monkeys. capuchin monkeys, Scarlet Macaws and toucans daily. We also saw tracks of tapirs. Knowing that big cats roam the premises adds even more to the appeal of this wonderful place. Yes it is a bumpy road to get to Carate but that is a good thing. It keeps the crowds away and the wildlife safer.

    Luna Lodge is a beautiful place with an amazing staff. The lodge has a comfortable environment centered around a pool and restaurant/common area that sit comfortably in the forest. Toucans, Scarlet Macaws, and monkeys are frequent visitors and easily viewed. Great meals with vegetarian/ non-vegetarian options are included with many ingredients grown on site. We spent 5 days over the Christmas holidays and it was the highlight of our time in Costa Rica.

    Great location. Natural setting surrounded by pristine rainforest. Cristhian, the host, is extremely helpful and knowledgeable. He’s a true local, and an expert on the Osa Peninsula. Views from the cabins are fantastic.
