Find your place to stay
Hotel Claro de Luna offers a charming, budget-friendly retreat in Monteverde, providing a country feel with its cedar lodging and flower-filled garden near Santa Elena. Ideal for couples and families, the hotel includes a locally sourced breakfast and features an onsite restaurant serving Costa Rican and international cuisine. Guests enjoy simple comforts in their rooms and convenient access to Monteverde's cloud forests for diverse activities, making it a welcoming base after a day of exploration.
Flowers in the garden and the warmth of cedar lodging give Hotel Claro de Luna a country feel close to Santa Elena. Couples and families can settle into a modest, budget-friendly stay with a locally sourced breakfast included, then set out for Monteverde’s forests. Leave a little time for the garden as well: past guests have spotted a sloth here, a possibility to watch for rather than an encounter to expect.
Beyond the lodge, cool clouds drift between the mountains and evergreen trees. Monteverde’s rainforest and cloud-forest habitats invite you to look for brilliantly colored birds and butterflies, or listen for monkeys among the greenery. A guided hike gives you time to notice the details of this landscape before returning to the quieter scale of the hotel.
Ziplining and ATV outings bring adventure into the itinerary, while butterfly, hummingbird, reptile and frog visits offer closer looks at particular species. A coffee tour introduces cultivation and a freshly brewed Costa Rican cup. If your plans call for a slower afternoon, a treatment at one of the area’s spas is another option. Choose your outings around the experience you want, without making every day the same.
The onsite restaurant serves Costa Rican and international cuisine, giving you an easy reason to spend an evening at the lodge. Santa Elena’s dining options are nearby when you want a change. Wi-Fi and parking are available, and laundry can be arranged for an additional charge.
The cozy rooms provide a ceiling fan, private bathroom with hot water, hairdryer, complimentary toiletries and daily housekeeping. Those straightforward comforts, the garden and convenient meals make Claro de Luna a welcoming place to settle in after a full forest day, with the town close and the surrounding landscape still shaping the trip.

Such a great cute little hotel, and the garden is truly beautiful. For breakfast I would suggest they have more options that do not include eggs, as my husband is allergic to eggs so the options were a bit limited. But it was a fantastic hotel and so pretty.

Loved this hidden gem that is so close to downtown Monteverde so we were able to walk and not have to hire an Uber or taxi. Everything here was simply perfect and we could not have asked for anything else.
