A well-designed boutique hotel and villa complex on Playa Langosta, just south of Tamarindo — quieter than the main beach, with a strong pool area, a good restaurant, and rates that undercut the all-inclusive resorts by a significant margin. A strong value boutique stay in the Tamarindo area.
Why We Chose It
Cala Luna sits on Playa Langosta — a beautiful, less-crowded beach just a few minutes south of Tamarindo's bustle. The rooms and villas have been recently renovated and offer a more genuine Costa Rica feel than the international chain resorts. Howler monkeys and magpie-jays inhabit the gardens. The restaurant is one of the better hotel kitchens in the area. A shuttle runs to Tamarindo's restaurants and surf schools daily.
What Stands Out
- Playa Langosta — quieter than Tamarindo
