Check in failure
Pros:

Despite making a plan for late check-in, we were not able to get into our room for almost an hour. No apologies were offered

We enjoyed it
Pros:

We enjoyed our stay and the local wildlife. The hotel is in a good location, within walking distance to a bar and restaurant. The room has an exterior entrance for privacy, was large and had a mini fridge, which is appreciated. Coffee is only available in the main communal area, which is a bit inconvenient but at least it’s available.

The breakfast was plentiful and delicious!

Pros:

Hotel Claro de Luna was a lovely place to stay to be close to the cloud forest reserves. Walking distance to the shops and restaurants of Santa Elena. Beautiful Spanish style units with private patios. The staff are immediately responsive to any needs or questions. Extensive complementary breakfast buffet and my favourite thing... the 24 hour coffee station! Highly recommend!

Pros:

Great location as it was an easy walk into the centre of town with restaurants and shopping, quick drive to hanging bridges and ziplining in the cloud forest.

Big and clean rooms, private covered porch for each to watch and listen to the wildlife. Small quiet restaurant for breakfast. Great spot!

Cozy secluded Place.
Pros:

Welcoming Friendly Staff.
Quite location, lots of flowers, birds chirping. They had a sloth in living in their yard. Which we got to see all the days we were there. Breakfast was good. Loved the home made jam.
Overall, was a pretty cozy place to stay.
(Bed was pretty firm, but that’s a personal matter )

Pros:

We arrived early and were accommodated for a check in without any problems. The gardens and property was VERY well maintained and beautiful. There were so many birds, butterflies and flowers to enjoy. We even saw a sloth in the trees by the parking lot! The room was spacious and very clean. The shower had hot water and great pressure. I loved the morning breakfast with coffee. My only wish was coffee maker in the room not just tea/hot water. But coffee was always available if wanted. The front desk had excellent recommendations for excursions and restaurants. We had no car so they also helped with taxi when needed.
