Shopping and dining options are superb and plentiful, perfect for sampling the true flavors of Costa Rica.

AMAZING trip

Reviewed By joshmG5600RO

The place is gorgeous!! they have pool space and a private area on the beach. It is located centrally to a lot of other bars and restaurants as well. The staff there is incredible. Ask for the manager Victor or Endy, they both go way above and beyond to ensure that you are having a great time. You can start everyday with a free breakfast which surprisingly comes with all you can drink mimosas so every day started off the way you would want on vacation. They also have dinner included where you can choose from different dinner each night (one fish/meat/vegetarian option) which sits on a deck overlooking the pool. They also arranged for transport for us to go do outside excursions and airport transit. We went during the beginning of the rainy season and honestly, the weather was way better than we thought it was going to be. it was sunny for parts of every day. Truly a great spot in an amazing country.

Cala Luna made my Vow Renewal Perfect!

Reviewed By stephanie990

I am living currently near the hotel and needed a venue to host my intimate 15 year wedding anniversary vow renewal. Their event manager and the staff made it perfect, with a delicious cake and a beautiful covered area for the ceremony. There was ample space to take photos including their private beach. After we had a private table booked for lunch and my kids played in the pool. It went off without a hitch and I’m so grateful for their help and care through the entire process.

Lovely resort

Reviewed By tiffany000

Lovely classic hotel, used Marriott points and was upgraded to an oceanfront room. The pool is MASSIVE but the water was heated (I prefer cooler water in hot/humid places). Hotel is pretty remote, but it’s good for a R&R type of trip. We took the shuttle to Tamarindo a few times - cute surf town about 30 minutes away with a nice beach and cute shops (shuttle provided by a 3rd party company, $20 per person roundtrip).

Beautiful property for hosting a wedding

Reviewed By Shamyshores2

Our son and his fiancé held their wedding at Mikado Natural Lodge in April, 2022. Set in the tropical jungle just outside of Tamarindo, Costa Rica, this newly constructed, pristine property was the perfect location for the event. A welcoming common area, inviting swimming pool, well appointed guest villas and inviting tropical foliage throughout the grounds ensured guests would enjoy a uniquely beautiful experience. Thank you to Lolo and staff for making this a dream day for our family!
