01 · In a sentence

Cala Luna Boutique Hotel in 50309, open JanuaryApril.

Guests arrive at this 4.6-star boutique hotel just 2 kilometers from Tamarindo Airport, where they transition directly from travel to celebration without the typical destination wedding lag.

The property's intimate scale and beachfront location in Guanacaste create a setting where your group feels connected rather than scattered across a massive resort.

From the moment guests check in, they experience personalized service designed around their presence rather than processed through a corporate system.

Beautiful Property, But Concerns About Room Security & Missing items My family (husband, kids ages 11 and 9, and grandparents) recently stayed in a 3 bedroom Villa at Cala Luna and found the property to be beautiful, with a relaxing atmosphere, excellent food, and a friendly staff. The setting is lovely, sound baths are amazing, and we enjoyed the location being a bit removed from Tamarindo. Unfortunately, our stay included an issue that was concerning. While we were out on a tour, several items went missing from our room, including a cell phone, a small jewelry box with my daughter’s belongings, and clothing. These items were in the room when we left and were missing when we returned. We understand that incidents can happen while traveling, however this was an expensive property and one of the reasons we chose it was because it appeared to offer a higher level of security and peace of mind. For that reason, this experience was particularly disappointing. We did report the situation to the hotel, the staff expressed their sincere apologies and said they would follow up after reviewing room access logs and cameras. Overall, the property itself is very nice, but we would encourage future guests to take extra care with any valuables, and don't bring any item, including clothes that you wouldn't mind going missing. Unfortunately these things happen even at nice resorts.
