Luna Nueva Lodge, San Ramon, Costa Rica - Explore & Book

"Sip your tamarindo juice, lie back in a hammock slung from your private balcony and gaze out at the luxuriant wildlife in lush tropical gardens and primary rainforest beyond. Swim in the spring-water pool or soak in the solar-heated hot tub, and you may well feel you’re in paradise. But this is no ordinary eco-lodge. It's part of a farm specialising in regenerative agriculture with a 'beyond organic' ethos, taking inspiration from the natural world. Luna Nueva protects large tracts of primary rainforest and has a vast garden of medicinal plants in a remarkable conservation project. Guests are encouraged to discover the importance of the fragile ecosystem alongside the natural richness of this beautiful place (biologists and birders are frequent visitors). All dishes in the open-sided restaurant are elevated to mouth-watering status by the quality of the produce; flavours leap off the plate. Honeymooners, yogis on retreat and families alike are welcomed in stylish bungalows and in double rooms. The Rain Forest Spa has a long menu of massages and more, while the bamboo yoga pavilion is well set-up should you want to salute the sun. You're secluded away from touristy Arenal for maximum tranquility, yet all activities and sights are within striking distance. This is a unique, unforgettable oasis; we departed replenished and replete. Highs Gorgeous setting amid beautiful gardens and spectacular rainforest, with wonderful wildlife to spot (there was a sloth perched above the pool when we stayed)Absolutely delicious organic food, 90% of it produced on the fincaA wealth of activities to try, from farm tours and rainforest trails to Arenal Volcano and the hot springs Ideal for families: adventurous and curious kids really fall in love with this placeVery good value Lows You're 25km from the closest town and Arenal Volcano is 40 minutes away, so transfers or taxis can add up and you'll need to plan ahead for activities (inevitably you'll eat here for the vast majority of your meals, which is no hardship)Some of the accommodation is simple rather than luxurious, but this is the most comfortable of Costa Rica’s rustic rainforest lodges Can get busy with retreats, so book in advance for peak times" - Nadine Mellor

Within ten minutes of arriving at the Finca, I regretted having booked only a single night stay. I do not know of any other time in which the check-in process itself, managed by the Melina the Great, has convinced me that I had 1) made the right choice of lodging and 2) made the wrong choice in staying for only one day. Melina is exactly what travelers need: funny, informative, and patient. The location is simply superb: in the midst of a lush forest populated with hummingbirds (that we could see) and other animals that we could only hear. Our cabin -- Casita 9 -- left us impressed. The interior designs were minimal yet functional. Everything worked and looked beautiful while doing it. The goal was to see the lush foliage just outside of the beautiful, large windows. We went to sleep on a comfortable bed to the sound of a downpour. We ate both dinner and breakfast at the on-site hotel. All of it was delicious. The grounds of the finca are immense. We managed to visit the Birding Area after breakfast but otherside had to leave early for a long drive to Guanacaste. There are so many things to experience at the Finca that I felt like an idiot for staying longer. Visitors need several days to get the most out of the property. Having said that, we hope to convert our one mistake into many reasons to return again.

Where to start?!|We booked our 2-night stay at Finca Luna Nueva a couple of weeks in advance with no particular expectations and it turned out to be the highlight of our trip to Costa Rica. |2 hours after arriving in front of their magnificent front front desk we were already wishing we had booked a couple more days.|This place is so peaceful and well organized, there’s an amazing offer of on-site activities that really help convey what has been put in place here in terms of regenerative agriculture. |Every employee we met looks happy and proud to work here, the owner’s passion for what they have committed to over the last 30 odd years is contagious.|The pool if big and refreshing the restaurant serves food grown on-site and the whole hotel is full of cozy nooks and crannies perfect to spend time a welcome quite time reading or thinking ;)|We will be back for more.

It is so peaceful here. The vibe is incredible. It is a piece of paradise in the forest. There is so much to do in the area as well as interesting mini excursions on the property. The office staff (Daniel and Jasmine) are so friendly. You just send them a WhatsApp message about what you want to do next, and they arrange it for you. The food in the restaurant is great... It is fresh and healthy and sourced from the property. In general I don't think Costa Rican cuisine is anything special, but the food on the property is an exception. If you stay here ( which you should) I would definitely recommend doing the night hike with Jason.. it is truly incredible. We also did a private Arenal volcano tour with him, which was also great. The chocolate making experience with Carlos is fun too.|Get your excursions done early in the day because it rains in the afternoons..This is the time to lie in the hammock and listen to the rain, the birds and frogs. Overall, my kids love it here and so do I... So sorry I have to leave.

Finca Luna Nueva is an authentic, immersive experience in the rainforest just south of the more heavily touristed area of La Fortuna. ||The food is good (local, organic), the service impeccable and the people genuinely warm and caring. In particular Jazmin at the front desk with her ever present smile was very helpful, as was Ariel who went out of his way. Elizabeth at the restaurant, and another young man whose name I don’t recollect, were most wonderful hosts. ||We did the night safari on the property, which was an interesting way to see how many species exist in such a tiny stretch of the trail. We also walked to the bamboo tower and the bird station, and saw several species of birds and some vistas from above the canopy. A special delight was spotting the resident sloths both at night and during breakfast at the trees near the restaurant. ||The room was clean and the little outdoor spaces make you feel like you’re in your own little patch of forest. ||The property is not very close to most of the area’s activities and attractions, but rather, is a destination in itself. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who wants an outstanding farm and forest retreat.

Our first trip to CR. This lodge was amazing - first and foremost because of the amazingly helpful staff and owners. Located in the volcano area, this is a huge property that is beautifully maintained. The bar/restaurant area was super cool and the provided food was really great - so obviously fresh! Room was great also - spacious enough for 4, comfortable beds and a super private and relaxing back patio area. Loved sitting out there at night. Highly recommend for families and eco lovers. Tons of nature and local experiences in and around the lodge.

This place is a slice of paradise in Costa Rica and perfect for families! Our stay here with our two kids was nothing short of magical. Nestled in lush, tropical surroundings, this sustainable haven offers a unique blend of comfort, nature, and authentic local charm. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed like family by the warm and attentive staff, whose kindness and hospitality truly made our experience unforgettable. The lodge is a dream for families—safe, serene, and full of adventure 😊. Our kids loved exploring the place, meeting the farm animals, and joining in the daily activities designed to both entertain and educate. Whether we were taking nature walks, learning about sustainable farming practices, or simply relaxing in the hammocks with fresh tropical juice in hand, every moment felt enriching and peaceful. The accommodations were cozy, clean, and thoughtfully designed to blend seamlessly with the natural environment. Meals were a highlight—wholesome, delicious, and prepared with love using ingredients straight from the farm. What truly sets this place apart is the heart behind it. The staff went above and beyond to ensure every guest felt cared for. Their passion for sustainability, community, and exceptional service shone through in everything they did. This place is an absolute gem. We left with full hearts, new friendships, and memories that will last a lifetime. We can’t wait to return!

Fantastic place! While we were there we did a chocolate tour, a night hike, and a birdwatching tour - they were all great and our 14 year old especially loved the chocolate tour and the night hike. On the night hike on the property we saw sloths, a tarantula, a kinkajou, and so many other animals. The birdwatching on the property was great and the food at the restaurant was delicious and so fresh. Everyone was so nice and kind. Highly recommended!

I drove out of my way 1/2 hour to return to this restaurant because of my stellar first meal and waited 35 minutes for the same order. When it was served the fish was undercooked (raw in the middle). The rice was not good tasted reheated…I didn’t try anything else. So disappointed. Just left without eating. Too bad! It went from excellent to unacceptable. Even the plating of the food was different. See photos! Attractive for first visit - messy for second visit. Rice was so great first time. So awful second time. Same for banana! Previous review was five star: I wasn’t staying here. Came for lunch. Because it didn’t start until 1230, I walked around the property for an hour. I really enjoy the plants, animals and birds I saw! Lunch was excellent. I got the fish Casado. I cleaned my plate!! Absolutely delicious! Loved the rice! So flavorful and fresh and also attractive looking! The tilapia was very fresh and tasty. The plantains were super fresh and perfectly cooked. The veggie side and black beans were tasty. The food exceeded my expectations.
