Quiet, peaceful bungalow set in tropical garden- 300m from the sea

My Fiancé and I stayed in the Luna Bungalow for more than a week at the start of December and had a wonderful time. Both Bungalows are tucked into the lush Jungle which is teeming with wildlife: Howler and White Faced Monkeys, Racoons, Humming Birds, Coatis and Agoutis. Paradise.

It is a short walk to the ocean and the beach near the property is mostly empty. If you are looking for a place to stay that is a little off the beaten path, private, welcoming and rustic, this is the place for you.

The Bungalows and property are meticulously maintained, about a 40 minute walk into Montezuma (or a 10 minute drive.) Patricia and Simon, the owners, are friendly, wonderful hosts who always made us feel welcome. They directed us to wonderful restaurants, hiking and the local fish man who sold us the catch of the day which we ate in the jungle under the stars. Just make sure that you don't leave any food out when you go to sleep!

We can't wait to return. Thanks again to Patricia and Simon (come visit us in Toronto - we have a spare room!)

We highly recommend Solyluna to anyone who is truly looking to get away from it all. Upon arrival at Solyluna, you are warmly greeted by Patricia and Simon. Pictures don't do this special place any justice. It's like being in a dream. Patricia and Simon know the area and hook you up with a handy little map and all the details you will need...low tide, bus schedule, fish monger, best restaurants, and any questions you can think to ask. Solyluna is a 45 minutes walk from either Montezuma or Cabuya. We enjoyed the sun and the exercise and chose to walk everywhere. We really loved the less touristy town of Cabuya and had some of our best and most authentic meals there. We also strongly recommend going to Montezuma to eat at Los Artistas and have an amazing meal ocean side. Solyluna's property is beautiful. It is well maintained, very clean and totally self sufficient. We cooked a lot of meals there. We found Solyluna to be very comfortable and quite unique. The bungalow is very artsy and the wood that is everywhere is gorgeous. We were big fans of the stone in the shower, and the temperature is perfect after a hot, sweaty walk in the Costa Rican sun. The beach is a five minute stroll away. Although it is rocky, we spent a lot of time playing in the warm ocean. If you're not a strong swimmer, be careful, there are sharp drop offs and the waves are quite strong. Most days it was us and the pelicans swimming. Definitely check out the Isle of Cabuya and Cascada Montezuma...our two favorite stops of our trip!! We spent a lot of time relaxing at the beautiful jungalow. The front eating area and hammock were our favorite spots. We would sprawl out with our books and watch the critters come and go. We kept a steady supply of bananas and a lot of the animals were comfortable getting quite close to us. Hummingbirds, butterflies, monkeys, birds, lizards...even more. We saw a baby Praying Mantis and geckos galore. Overall, Solyluna is a very special place to visit. We truly felt out in the jungle and enjoyed only seeing animals some days! Patricia and Simon are very special people, who put a lot of love and care into what they do. They have an eye for detail, a love for their property, and a passion to help people enjoy their stay to the fullest.

Our stay at solyluna was blissful. The bungalow was perfect, and I could easily have spent the whole time sitting on the porch, looking (at the capuchin monkeys, butterflies, hummingbirds, a shy little agouti, and the nighttime raccoons) and listening (to the howler monkeys especially but also the birds and all the lovely sounds of the place). Patricia and Simon were wonderful hosts, and it was easy to get around without a car.
