We stayed in hotel Claro de Luna for 2 nights. We were in the principal building above the reception and the room was quite old-fashionned and small. But the biggest problem was that we could hear everything going on in the next bedroom, we could hear people snore as if they were in the same room ! I had asked... More

I am surprised about the bad reviews... we had a good experience, and actually loved the shower there. No issues with hot water. I think you have to go in with the right expectations. This is not a luxury hotel. Boutique, I think, in this case is meant to mean canopy beds and lovely chalets. We had no tv and... More

This was the most disappointing hotel of our 15 day vacation in Costa Rica. Our room was located in a building at the rear of the property. It was large but dark and gloomy with several lights not working. There was one bedside light and one candle in a wine bottle! I am not joking! There was an old TV... More

We may have had one of the worst rooms, and have US standards, but our room was very cramped with no heat or air conditioning. The "town" was about 1/2 mile away on a very rough dirt road. The grounds were very nice and breakfast typical, but even by the Costa Rica standards, an inferior experience.

A beautiful location very near to the village. The rooms were fine but lacked hot water as mentioned in other posts. We had multiple trips to the reception to get the water working usually resulting in the water working for about 30 minutes. Breakfast was simple but ok.

We stayed two nights at this boutique hotel. We had one of the two upper rooms with wooden walls and cathedral ceiling. Very clean and welcoming. The staff was friendly and incredibly helpful to chose and book our excursions. It's very close to town (5 min walk) but far enough for very quiet evenings. Only main downfall are the walls... More

The grounds of Hotel Claro de Luna are gorgeous; however, everything else was sorely disappointing. We were in one of the "luxury" suites. There are no ceiling fans or screens on the windows, so we ended up with lots of bugs in the room. Somewhat expected since we were in Costa Rica, but still something that could be easily remedied...

We were here 1 night and had a great experience with the hotel. Very friendly staff. We had one of the rooms in the back of the garden and not in the main building. Big rooms with a porch. You can walk from the hotel to the village to find a restaurant.

Breakfast is very good.... More

We had an excellent experience here. The staff are friendly, helpful, and extremely tolerant of exuberant, noisy children (ours). The setting is intimate yet afforded a lot of privacy. The grounds are beautifully landscaped, the rooms immaculate and luxurious. The breakfasts were delicious. We'd have loved an in-room coffee maker, but all in all, it was fantastic.
