Clean, large room. Friendly staff helped to book outings and transportation. No A/C which I was worried about but did not need due to cooler nighttime temperatures.
Excellent breakfast.
We really enjoyed our large private patio.
Most outstanding grounds, hidden from main road, flowers and plants everywhere.
Easy walk into Santa Elena.

This was a simple hotel with everything we needed and good proximity to all the shopping. My favorite soda in CR is across the street, its a must try. Everyone was very friendly and helpful. We will definitely stay here again.
Wonderful hotel with lovely grounds and very friendly staff. Room was big and clean, with huge hot tub. The gardens are amazing, with so many birds and even a sloth.

Great location as it was an easy walk into the centre of town with restaurants and shopping, quick drive to hanging bridges and ziplining in the cloud forest.
Big and clean rooms, private covered porch for each to watch and listen to the wildlife. Small quiet restaurant for breakfast. Great spot!

We enjoyed it
We enjoyed our stay and the local wildlife. The hotel is in a good location, within walking distance to a bar and restaurant. The room has an exterior entrance for privacy, was large and had a mini fridge, which is appreciated. Coffee is only available in the main communal area, which is a bit inconvenient but at least it’s available.
The breakfast was plentiful and delicious!

A definite suggestion for your stay
The service and location were great. The staff was very nice and friendly, and were so helpful with suggestions on tours and restaurants. You can walk (5 minutes) to plenty of restaurants in main town of Santa Elena. For animal enthusiasts like us it was great, we saw plenty of beautiful birds on property and we even saw a sloth on hotel property on the first day of visit. We will definitely be back to this property.

Hotel Claro de Luna was a lovely place to stay to be close to the cloud forest reserves. Walking distance to the shops and restaurants of Santa Elena. Beautiful Spanish style units with private patios. The staff are immediately responsive to any needs or questions. Extensive complementary breakfast buffet and my favourite thing... the 24 hour coffee station! Highly recommend!

Cozy secluded Place.
Welcoming Friendly Staff.
Quite location, lots of flowers, birds chirping. They had a sloth in living in their yard. Which we got to see all the days we were there. Breakfast was good. Loved the home made jam.
Overall, was a pretty cozy place to stay.
(Bed was pretty firm, but that’s a personal matter )

Gorgeous grounds, felt like an oasis. Jennie prepared a delicious breakfast each morning, including a great homemade salsa and homemade marmalade. She also pointed out a sloth (perezoso) sleeping in a tree outside. Josephine was kind enough to help me book a night tour and to find a kayak tour in another city . Highly recommend.
