Luna Nueva Lodge, Costa Rica, Overview

LUNA NUEVA LODGE - REVIEW

Sip your tamarindo juice, lie back in a hammock slung from the wraparound balcony and gaze out at the luxuriant wildlife all around you: lush tropical gardens below, and primary rainforest beyond. Swim in the spring water pool or soak in the hot tub, and you may well feel you’re in paradise.

But this is no ordinary lodge. A biodynamic farm growing organic foods, Luna Nueva also protects large tracts of primary rainforest and a vast garden of medicinal plants in a remarkable conservation project. Part of its aim is for guests to learn about the importance of this fragile ecosystem and to enjoy the natural richness of this beautiful place. You're welcomed in comfortable bungalows for families or couples, or in double rooms in two main houses: all with spectacular views. Luna Nueva attracts top level biologists, doctors interested in alternative therapies, yoga and meditation types, and any visitor interested in a pure rainforest experience. It's a unique, unforgettable place: you’ll never look at the natural world the same way again.

LOWS

Accommodation is simple rather than luxurious, but definitely the most comfortable of Costa Rica’s rustic rainforest lodges
Don’t expect to be waited on as in a hotel, but if you’re happy to make yourself at home you’ll have a great time here
No phone or TV, but there's WiFi (if you bring your own laptop) or you can borrow the lodge’s computer, through which you can make calls using a phonecard purchased in any town in Costa Rica
