Eintauchen in Costa Rica und sich rundum wohlfühlen.
Pros:

Eine schön gelegene Anlage mit einem warmen Wohlfühldesign, reichhaltigem Frühstück und sehr gutem Abendessen. Danke an Sebastian, der uns viele Tipps gegeben und den Aufenthalt bereichert hat.

Cons:

Da fällt uns nichts ein.

Idyllische und ruhige Lage, im Übrigen weit entfernt von "außergewöhnlich"
Pros:

Das Hotel liegt etwas abseits der Schotterstraßen, liegt aber ansonsten idyllisch in der Natur und verfügt über einen Meerblick vom Pool. Insgesamt eine sehr ruhige Lage. Das Frühstück war sehr gut, außedem war das Personal des Restaurants ausgesprochen nett.

Cons:

Als wir gegen 17:50 Uhr ankamen, wirkte die Hotelanlage vollständig verlassen und einsam. Der Parkplatz war leer und andere Gäste sahen wir auch nicht. Einzig ein Sicherheitsmitarbeiter, der kein Englisch sprach, zeigte uns unseren Bungalow. Das Restaurant hatte an diesem Abend geschlossen, worüber wir vorab nicht informiert wurden. Der Bungalow war voller Ameisen: An den Wänden, auf dem Tisch, auf dem Bett. Dies merkten wir am nächsten Tag bei der Rezeption an. Diese reagierte voller Unverständnis und sagte, dass dies normal sei. Wir haben allerdings in den zwei Wochen zuvor in Costa Rica nicht einmal derartige Erfahrungen gemacht, selbst in offenen Lodges nicht. Zudem stellt sich die Frage, warum keine Moskitonetze über dem Bett sind, wenn krabbelnde Ameisen auf dem Bett "normal" sind. Der Bungalow war im Übrigen ziemlich dunkel. Der Blick von der Terasse ging in einen morschen Baum, außerdem war die Terasse vollständig verschattet. Aufgrund der vorgefundenen Situation und anderer Gründe wollten wir frühzeitig abreisen, hier kam uns das Hotel selbst mit unserem angeboten Minimalkompromiss (Erstattung der Frühstückskosten) nicht entgegen. Als kundenorientiert kann das Hotel daher nicht bezeichnet werden. Freundlich war das Personal an der Rezeption ebenfalls nicht. Insgesamt handelt es sich um ein Hotel mit einer einigermaßen netten Anlage, nettem Personal am Restaurant und einer ruhigen Lage. Der Service, die Sauberkeit, die Kommunikation und die Inneneinrichtung sind jedoch stark verbesserungswürdig. Das Hotel ist jedenfalls weit davon entfernt "außergewöhnlich" zu sein, wie die Booking-Bewertungen nahelegen.

Beautiful facility, in a lovely unspoiled part of Costa Rica.
Pros:

Breakfast was very good. Our room was clean and equipped with a fridge and a very nice private deck. Nice pool and lounge chairs, giving a view of the ocean. Good place to see the sunset. The grounds are beautiful. Short drive to Playa Ostional, Playa San Juanillo. Don't miss Playa Golondrina!

Cons:

Front desk staff was a bit aloof.

Not a complaint against the hotel, but be aware that the hotel is not withing walking distance of any beach, restaurant, store, etc. Also, not a complaint against the hotel, but roads in the area are very rough with large potholes.

A peaceful location to while away a few days
Pros:

The location is stunning and peaceful. The staff were friendly and helpful. The gardens are lovely - hummingbirds, iguanas, coatis - and the views from the bungalows are beautiful. We stayed in the double bedroom for one night. The room was large, with excellent air conditioning and facilities. If staying for longer than one night then I recommend the bungalows, all of which have an outside terrace and seating with fantastic views.
The hotel is remote. The restaurant on site was excellent for an evening meal; the breakfast was quite decadent.

Cons:

It's a fairly minor point, but the wine selection for dinner was limited and did not reflect the quality of the food. More creativity with the wine list would elevate the restaurant experience.

A hidden gem that I cannot wait to return to!
Pros:

This boutique hotel is a true hidden gem! It is lovingly family-run, with friendly service, peaceful atmosphere, and beautiful lush grounds surrounded by nature. I spotted various birds and other small animals often in the garden and pool area, as well as from my bungalow terrace. I loved the fresh-air bathrooms. The breakfast and dinner were excellent.

Boutique experience near Ostional
Pros:

The hotel is situated a little bit north of Ostional, which is a great location if you want to see the turtles. The Ostional beach itself is not the best, however, to hang out otherwise. You need to go either north to San Juanillo or south towards Guiones. Roads to both were sub-optimal when we traveled, although a bit better up north than south. The hotel itself is a beautiful oasis of calm. There are cottages as well as a room, and we had a room only, which was comfortable for the time we were there. We did note that the suite next to us had a kitchen and living area as did the other cottages. Great view from the dining area. Breakfasts are generous, if unvarying, affairs with a multi-course spread. The dinner was excellent and very tasty. The most excellent part of this resort is the staff. Sebastian is very generous and informative and we enjoyed visiting some of the places he suggested. In the evenings, Roberto is the bartender and is very dedicated and kind. Lizzie is a the main desk and helped us to book a horse-riding tour. There is a supermarket Rindemas not very far for those who might want to cook, and a cash machine (ATM) near the gas station in Nosara, as well as one down the road near the Mega Super Nosara on Calle Baltodano. Note that some of the tours only use cash.

Cons:

The roads are quite bad in this part alternating between rocky to potholed. It gets pretty dusty at times. A coffee maker in the room would be very useful for the super early-risers! :) The restaurant menu could have some more variation if one is staying for a long time!

Sehr schöne Anlage in abgelegener Lage
Pros:

Das Luna Azul ist eine sehr schöne Anlage. Der Pool mit den Liegen war super und das Personal ist sehr zuvorkommend. Leckeres Frühstück und noch besseres Abendessen! (wir haben 2x im Restaurant gegessen, besonders der Burger ist zu empfehlen)
Die Bungalows sind echt groß mit Terasse/Balkon. Das Bad "draußen" hat defintiv etwas🙂
Wir konnten einige Tiere beobachten, u.a. Leguane, Nasenbären und viele Vögel. Es gibt ein paar ganz nette Strände in der Nähe; am Strand von Ostional kann man zur Saison morgens die Schildkröten beobachten 🐢

Cons:

In der Ecke auf der Península Nicoya, wo das Luna Azul liegt, gibt es leider so gut wie nichts. Die Straßen sind so schlecht (alles Gravel, nur Schlaglöcher), sodass man für eine 10km Strecke zwischen 30 und 45 min. braucht. Wenn man seine Ruhe und die Tage einfach mal nur am Pool/am Strand verbringen will - super. Nach Tamarindo haben wir knapp 1,5 Std gebraucht, ähnlich in die Städtchen am Strand bei Nosara.

Excellent boutique hotel! Everything you see on Booking.com on the property is true in person!
Pros:

Libeth and her staff made our one night stay an outstanding one! Amazing property in the rain forest so close to seeing the arribada at Playa Ostional!

Cons:

The only issue we had was with the shower temperature! We were not able to adjust the cold water so the water was way hot!

Pros:

The people are very friendly, the room is clean, and the hotel is cosy.

If you want to visit the turtles on the Ostional beach this is the perfect location, because if there is some rain you are on the good side of the bad road.

The breakfast was very good, everything was home made.
