Cala Luna Boutique Hotel and Villas

Garden days and villa stays in Langosta

Garden walkways, tall shady trees and time by the pool give Cala Luna Boutique Hotel and Villas a relaxed rhythm in Tamarindo's Langosta neighborhood. Rooms and multi-room villas let you shape the stay around a couple's getaway or time together with family, with the town's restaurants and beach life close enough to enjoy without making them the whole day.

The poolside lounge has shaded and unshaded chairs, with a bar for a drink between swims. A separate children's pool adds another option for younger travelers. Howler monkeys sometimes spend time in the tall trees, bringing a glimpse of wildlife to the gardens without any promise of a sighting.

Enjoy the coast with the right expectations

Cala Luna is not a beachfront hotel. Across the street, a trail leads to a rocky coastal area with attractive views and sunsets, but swimming there is not recommended. For beach time, head to Tamarindo's main beach, a few minutes away by car or about a 15-minute walk. Taxis are readily available.

From town, surfing lessons, catamaran cruises and canopy zipline outings can add variety to your plans. A Palo Verde riverboat safari or an adventure ranch near Rincon de la Vieja offers a different look at Guanacaste.

A meal, a treatment, room to share

The open-air Cala Moresca Restaurant serves Costa Rican and international cuisine for breakfast, lunch and dinner, using fresh local ingredients. A private dinner on the beach is an added service. The spa offers massages, body scrubs, manicures, pedicures and other treatments for a day with fewer plans. The massage technicians can help you choose a service.

For a couple, a Deluxe Room’s furnished terrace gives the gardens a place in the stay, with one or two queen beds available. Deluxe Rooms are 164 square feet. A One Bedroom Suite is 180 square feet and has a king bed and double walk-in shower. All accommodation has a fully equipped bathroom, telephone and flat-screen television as well as air-conditioning and WiFi, so the choice turns on layout and the time you want to spend in your own space.

Luxury Two and Three Bedroom Suites or Villas bring a different kind of flexibility: living rooms, equipped kitchens, dining areas and private pools, with two bathrooms in each of those larger categories. They allow a family or group to gather for a meal and a swim in its own accommodation, while still having the hotel restaurant, shared pools and spa available. Confirm the category's full facilities when deciding which arrangement suits you.

WiFi is available in most public areas. The concierge can help shape an outing, while Tamarindo’s shops, nightlife and main beach bring surfing, swimming and boogie-boarding possibilities into the stay. Keep the short drive or approximately 15-minute walk to the main beach in your plans, then come back to the gardens and pool when you want the day to soften.
