4BR villa in Montezuma

LUNATICAlounge - An Exclusive Cliffside Villa - Villas for Rent in Montezuma, Puntarenas, Costa Rica

This place was amazing! The view is absolutely incredible. Sunrises are spectacular from the property. The pool is stellar and we enjoyed it daily. We had the monkeys visit several times and provided a ton of entertainment with some hilarious antics. There were insects around but it is the jungle and they were all harmless and weren’t interested in us. Thomas arranged to have Vicenta be our chef for our stay and she was absolutely amazing, the food was simple but EXCELLENT and healthy. There was a language barrier but we all got our ideas and thoughts across and shared a lot of laughs. The main area is better with the doors open and the big fan on for the breeze and it’s perfect for just lounging on the sofa. AC was in all the bedrooms and we were actually cold so we had to turn up the temp a few degrees. The house is so unique and open, there was always something new to discover. Montezuma is a short ATV drive away so we could get snacks or whatever. We would absolutely stay again!

The Lunatica Lounge is an incredible place to relax in Montezuma. My family of 8 had an incredible time. The house (actually 2 structures) is large and architecturally very unique.  Plenty of space for everyone to hang out, eat, play games, etc. Also, plenty of individual space in the 4 bedroom areas. Each with their own flare and individuality. The pool is gorgeous and connects the 2 structures. The views are incredible of the Pacific Ocean and the jungle between the home and the beach. Dailey made service is outstanding and really limits the amount of clothing that you need to pack as laundry is done daily if needed we hired Vincenta, as a private cook, who made us breakfast and lunch daily. We highly recommend her as her meals were amazing, and her warmth was contagious. The staff even repaired a flat tire that we got on our way into the house. I highly recommend renting jeeps or some sort of off-road vehicles as the roads into the home are rocky and treacherous. Overall, A++

We had a truly magical time at Lunatica.  The house and surroundings are amazing.  Gorgeous views from every room, best swimming pool ever.  Thomas, the house manager, was exceptionally responsive and helpful.  He and the other staff members took care of our every need.  I highly recommend a stay here!!!

Great place the staff was awesome the chefs the cleaning staff everyone was awesome

Our 8-day getaway at LunaticaLounge was an absolute blast!  With our family of adults, teenagers and children the villa provided the perfect setting for our Costa Rica vacation. The beauty of this property more than match the photos. Thomas, the co-host, was on the ball making sure every detail was taken care of. By recommendation we went on an unforgettable private boat tour to Tortuga island with Eduardo as our marine guide including reef snorkling and whale safari. I highly recommend to do this. It was a fantastic day. We also rent ATV’s which was fun and a great way to explore the jungle and beaches in the area. The villa’s infinity pool with it breathtaking views made it hard to leave the house. Every room provides a unique perspective of the incredible surroundings. Thomas was a true star ensuring our experience was top notch responding promptly to any queries. Our family had a vacation for the books. We are already daydreaming about our return to this enchanting paradise.

We booked 4 nights for a family stay. 6 adults and 2 babies and we all had plenty of space. The grounds are as beautiful as the photos. Really appreciated the cleaning service daily and how responsive Ralf/Thomas were. They helped us arrange a local photographer to come out and capture special family moments as well as a private chef for my sister in laws 30th birthday. There is no A/C in the main living area so it does get warm. If it had A/C the place would’ve been absolutely perfect. Regardless we made so many special family memories and it’s one of the most unique Airbnbs I’ve ever stayed in.

Our family of four really enjoyed Lunatica Lounge. The property was as shown in the photos. It was a bit too spacious and spread out for a family of four, but would be perfect for a large party or multi family. The pool was incredible, the view amazing, and the house staff were friendly. Of the places we stayed during our time on the Nicoya, this one did seem to attract the most critters. Upon arrival (at night) it was the most, likely due to all doors being wide open. By shutting the doors and turning off the bright lights we minimized this quite a bit in the days that followed. Thomas, the host was incredibly friendly and helpful. Giving us driving directions, assisting with ATV rental and even picking food up and delivering it the night we arrived. Thank you for the memories! If we travel with a larger group in the future, we will be back!

This villa was everything and a definite stay if you were to visit Costa Rica. Thomas the host manager was amazing. Carla was definitely my go to person. They made our stay exceptionally amazing. This villa is close to town and all excursions. We loved everything about this stay. Definitely would rent again when visiting Costa Rica.

Phenomenal house with great views of the ocean. Pictures don’t do it justice. House manager and staff are great communicators and will address anything that comes up.

We loved our stay at this beautiful location! Definitely a unique home. We saw monkeys right in the yard and enjoyed the most amazing sunrises. The caretaker and housekeeper were lovely and communication was seamless. We would stay again!

What a house. Howlers as alarm clocks paired with the eastern sunrise from every room. A pool that was never too cold or too warm. A wonderful staff that came daily to make sure that we felt clean and safe. Close to everything you could want on the peninsula. Incredible.

Lunatica was amazing and Thomas, the co-host of this Airbnb was exceptional. If I could give him 10 stars I would. He was truly essential to making my visit to Montezuma and surrounding areas one of the best vacations I've had thus far. His willingness to help arrange shuttles and excursions made this trip a breeze, and his cooking was also delicious. As someone who looks at Airbnb reviews, to help with my decision to book... I can ensure you the comments left about this listing are accurate.

Great place! Beautiful property that overlooks the water. Awesome place to detech and enjoy Costa Rica. Best Airbnb in Montezuma

A really great space and stay, they were super helpful with arranging taxis etc and the space is truly spectacular. I will say if you are needing to work while there, maybe bring your own mobile hotspot. The WiFi can be a little hit or miss in the area.

LunaTica Lounge is amazing and the layout was perfect for our family of 6. The bedrooms were spacious with en suite bathrooms and 3 of 4 had AC. The “master” had a fan and was pretty exposed given it’s basically glass enclosed. All showers were great and the beds were comfy. The house and pool are in the sun most of the day, but there’s plenty of shady areas and usually an ocean breeze to keep cool. The downstairs living area and kitchen get super warm. There are 2 floor fans but because the downstairs is so large and exposed to sun all day it does not cool off so we ate and hung out outside 95% of the time. The hardest part about staying at LunaTica is it’s so comfortable to hang out that heading out for activities was tough because we just wanted to lounge all day. Thomas was very helpful giving us tips and answering questions and he’s always quick to respond. Lucretia and Giovanni are a lovely couple who kept our house and pool clean. Giovanni is a birder so he was able to point out some really cool birds for us on the property. Being in Costa Rica means there are creatures and bugs everywhere so if you creepy crawlies freak you out, go to another country. Even though you’re in a beautiful house, you will be sharing your space with bugs and geckos. We see it as part of the charm of CR. Favorite restaurants: Butterfly Brewing, Puggos and Ylang Ylang. Thank you to Ralf and crew. It was a memorable vacation, and our kids think we are the coolest parents in the world for taking them to LunaTica 😃.

Our group of friends had an absolutely fantastic time in Montezuma - the place was above and beyond (it's practically a private resort)! The photos on the listing are accurate, and when we arrived, it was even bigger than we imagined with stunning views. The property manager was extremely helpful and communicative throughout the entire trip and the maid and groundskeeper were fantastic in getting things fixed and cleaned everyday. We were able to book massages, a delicious private dinner, and ATVs through the property manager. The kitchen is big if you want to cook your own meals and there was also a BBQ outside. The location is really close to downtown Montezuma where there are great restaurants and bars - and it's also close to the beach! It was a trip we'll never forget and we hope to be back in the future. Wifi can be a little spotty but it was nice to disconnect from our phones and computers during our stay. I would highly recommend this place to anyone who is looking for a relaxing getaway!

This place is was beautiful! It’s like being on a private mini resort. The host staff was amazing and quick to respond . There were not a lot of mosquitoes. I was very surprised Bc we were in the jungle. I would most definitely come back again!! Thank you so much for everything!

Everything about Luna tica was amazing! I highly recommend hiring a private chef and using concierge to make the most of this enchanting place. The house pictures don’t do it justice. Nearly every room has an incredible view. The turn down service was also amazing. We appreciated the comfort of having staff there.

I just want to start off by saying the place is exactly what I saw in the pictures. Let me bring it back from the beginning. So we landed in San Jose airport . FYI the place is 4-5 hours away from there so if your planning on going, be prepared to ride the ferry. Once you leave the ferry I think it’s like a 2 hour drive left . DO NOT LEAVE THE MAIN ROADS!!! That’s all imma say . Once you reach its so beautiful everything is how it seems. Only negative thing is there is the CONNECTION IS HORRIBLE AND no A/C in living room or master bedroom so it’s hot asf and if your afraid of insects definitely not the place for you. Geckos, spiders , ants , all types of shitts all over the house . The house just needs maintenance. Would recommend to not leave any food out for even 5 mins . They will be covered in ants . Ants in the oven, stove . But forget that you are in the jungle so it comes with that . The best part is the monkeys are literally in the backyard . I felt like I was at the zoo because I was literally smoking my blunt feeding the monkeys bananas. The pool omgosh so beautiful. That ocean view is sick🔥🔥🔥. The showers are steaming hot. Best part to me cause I love hot water. Ohh yeah don’t be scared if your going to pee and your greeted by a frog in the bathroom. They don’t harm you just run lmaooooo they will disappear . I had so much fun in this house . It’ really looks and feels like you in a movie in the jungle . The chefs are so cool and the food omgosh . I will be back .

Our stay was memorable for all the right reasons. The space and the staff make this place special and make your stay magical. From the exceptional sunrise, to the outdoor breakfast/bbq area, to the sunny afternoon pool/hammock, to the funky showers it’s all a true experience. Thomas is a wonderful jack of all trades and goes out of his way to meet your needs. The daily cleaning team do a great job (you should leave them a tip since they work so hard). Few things to keep in mind however; make sure you have cell coverage on your way to the house cause you’ll probably need it to find the house. Make sure you have a 4x4 if you’re driving there. Give yourself an extra hour. Expect some insects and bugs. They are mostly harmless but they’ll be there since you’ll be in the jungle. Stop at a supermarket on your way and pack your fridge. The WiFi is spotty so if you plan to work or do school remotely it might not go as smoothly as you would like. Otherwise I can guarantee that it’ll be one of these trips you’ll remember and talk about when you’re older :)

I would like to start by saying that we have stayed in many Airbnb‘s over the past five years and were more impressed by this home than any of our previous. Lunatica is located on top of a cliff overlooking the Pacific Ocean. We spent five nights in this fantastic home with our three teenage children. The views are spectacular, unlike anything else I’ve ever woken up to. The host offers, free of charge, both a concierge with local tip guides as well as two daily house cleaners. The house is vast and expensive with two structures each including two bedrooms and in total five full bathrooms with very creative showers. The wraparound pool it’s not to be believed. The finishings are top notch and the pictures do not do justice to the home nor the views. We took full advantage of the local beaches but could have easily stayed in this home for five days without leaving. The concierge arranged multiple food deliveries based on what we requested as well as a private yoga instructor. The area surrounding the home has gorgeous tropical horticulture as well as safe animal life. You’ll hear many howler monkeys, see beautiful birds, and make friends with the geckos. The value is considerable given all of the amenities. As a parent, I would hesitate bringing toddlers to this palatial paradise. Thank you to the Lunatica lounge and staff for an unforgettable vacation.

Probably one of the best place I've been to via Airbnb. The photos don't do it justice, the house is quirky and beautiful.

This Airbnb is amazing! By far the coolest Airbnb I have ever stayed at! The pros: The view is unreal. You'll easily enjoy waking up to watch the sunrise each morning. The pool is the best I have ever experienced, great shallow spots and deep spots as well. The pool is long and the depth change is gradual. The staff, Thomas and Giovanni are amazing and go above and beyond to help you enjoy your time. You will get to see Monkeys and other wildlife come and visit you which is enjoyable entertainment. The rooms are excellent, beds are comfortable, the showers are insane - also probably the most epic shower I've ever encountered. I'd highly recommend hiring the chef to come in and cook - some of the best meals of my life! Love the layout of the house for a group vacation! The house feels remote but in a safe way - we never felt uncomfortable or unsafe. The cons: This house is remote, I'm putting this as a positive and a negative. We flew into Liberia and made the 75 mile drive to the house. Be aware that those 75 miles took us about 4.5 hours to drive. Most of the roads were great but there were some tougher ones, especially closer to Montezuma. Our flight got delayed so we had to. make the drive in the dark and it was challenging and stressful in our van. The roads around the house are better navigated on ATVs (you can have Thomas help you rent these - recommended!) or with a smaller SUV with 4 wheel drive. We did encounter steep gravel roads that we had to get out of the van in order for it to make it up the hill. Honestly, the roads were our only stressor and they encouraged us to relax and just enjoy the house instead of scheduling lots of activities. Overall, this was one of my favorite vacations and a lot of that was because of this Airbnb. I totally recommend staying here, just be aware of the commute - we were not mentally prepared.

What a magical place. If you have been looking to stay somewhere like you’ve never stayed before this is the place. From the swimming pool to the views to the mystical lights and of course the luxury house itself far exceeded any of our expectations. Thomas the caretaker is a great person very knowledgeable at local activities and will help you at the drop of a dime. Day or night. Can’t wait to come back to this unbelievable house.

Our stay at Lunatica Lounge was absolutely amazing! The house is beautiful, the location is perfect, the views are amazing and the daily visits by wild life was an added touch. Thomas was amazingly responsive and gave us suggestions on what to do in Montezuma. He even booked a zip lining trip for us! We will definitely be back!

The best Airbnb I have ever stayed at hands down !! The area is beautiful ! Thomas, the host even brought us some ATV's to roam around Montezuma. This place is just amazing. I highly recommend this place.

Ralf a his team do a great job maintaining this beautiful property. Thomas was very attentive and checked in periodically to see if anything was needed. The property is exactly as described, spacious and very well designed. Great entertaining main area, Fully Stocked kitchen, with an amazing terrace and pool to enjoy the outdoors. Montezuma center is 5 mins away, and Santa Teresa about 20. A 4X4 Capability vehicle during rainy season to 1st time travelers will be wise to truly explore the area freely and also near by beaches. Would highly recommend this property and look forward to a future stay.

You can expect a fantastic house in a beautiful location. All expectations are met! The house is top equipped! For arrival we recommend the coastal road via Parquera!

Ihr erwartet eine traumhaftes Haus in einer wunderschönen Lage. Alle Erwartungen werden erfüllt! Das Haus ist top ausgestattet! Für die Anreise empfehlen wir die Küstenstraße über Parquera!

This home is truly amazing and we highly recommend a stay here. The setting is beautiful, spacious, clean and private. The views are spectacular. We enjoyed the wildlife so much and spent endless hours in the pool. The local restaurants are fun and there is tons to do locally (ziplines, waterfall hikes, beaches, animal reserves). The owner's local contacts are helpful and lovely -- we were grateful for their support and enjoyed getting to know them. We also found the trip from San Jose (driving and ferry) very easy to manage. Five stars from us! Don't miss out on this gem!

Absolutely stunning house! Views are spectacular!

Our stay here was amazing.  The house has some thoughtful features that are not immediately obvious from the pictures in the listing.  First and foremost, yes, the pool really is as good as it looks in the photos.  There are large glass doors allow for a beautiful view of the surroundings plus a panoramic view of the Pacific.  When slid open,  the doors allowed for a breeze to keep the main floors comfortable.  The patio plus viewing deck was used daily.  As a matter of fact, the family preferred eating and playing games on the patio.  Even with my sister’s family plus mine the house never felt over crowded.  The staff was fantastic.

This home is a MUST go to if you come to the west coast of Costa Rica. The host is beyond nice and thoughtful. The home is clean, fresh, and decorated to die for. I recommend this home to families, friends and lovers. Will definitely go back to Montezuma. The animals, the surfing, the food, the people. It's perfect. 30 min away from santa teresa in ATV for the most amazing sunset. The hot water beaches. Etc, can't say enough.

Firstly, I want to express my deepest gratitude to all of the staff: Ralf - home owner Thomas - concierge Giovanni - grounds keeper Lucrecia - house keeper They were all amazing, nice and accommodating. They helped us so much with navigating through Montezuma from beginning to finish. They were timely and friendly it was so refreshing. They also helped us secure a taxista, Yita, who was so sweet and helpful and a chef, Laura, who made the most delicious healthy meals. The house is so absolutely breathtaking, the photos don’t do it justice. The view is perfect. The house is spacious. It’s gorgeous! The only negative aspect (which is out of the control of the home owner and staff) were the insane amount of bugs. There were so many different types of bugs in the house it was slightly uncomfortable. The house view and staff made it bearable. Outside of that, everything was pretty much perfect! Make sure to read the manual they leave because there’s a lot of useful information.

Hi Brianni, Thank you for your kind review! We are sorry about the amazing rainstorm that came through just when you tried to enjoy Costa Rica! May is the beginning of the rainy season, but that was more then we ever experienced at this time of the year. Unfortunately, also many insects always come out in force with the first rains. It normally happens only for a short period of time and we should have advised you stronger on the importance of keeping the bright lights to a minimum at night. But again, this beginning of May was more intense than usual, thank you for your patience. After all, it is a jungle out there and Costa Rica is famous of hosting about 6% of the worlds bio diversity!

My friends and I loved our stay at LunaTica! The home, and especially pool area, were amazing. Lots of plates and glassware so you can entertain in style. Great views you can get lost in, cool spaces to spend time as a group or split off, and a couple neat towns to check out. Dave, the property manager, has great communication early and often. He handled everything for us the time we were there. He connected us with Chef Chris for a couple dinners, which were fantastic, well priced, and he was a really interesting guy to connect with. He also set-up the delivery of ATVs, which were so fun and made the house seem closer to the beach/town/thick of things. Maybe pack goggles and handkerchiefs for all the dirt roads and ask Dave for recommendations on fun routes. And finally Dave set-up a boat day with Carlos and Luis. We got to check out Tortuga Beach snorkeling, but then ditched the crowds for a more private area with beach time and a delicious lunch. If you are stuck on the idea of sleeping with AC, don’t stay in the master bedroom. But the rest of the bedrooms got quite chilly as needed. Overall, a great experience in an amazing house, that was made easy by Dave, the house crew, and all the vendors Dave connected us with. Hope to go back!

We had an amazing stay at Lunatica! Dave was really great, he set us up with car and ATV rentals, food recommendations (we loved Tierra y Fuego) and was very quick to respond to any questions we had. The house is absolutely beautiful! The beds were comfortable and the house was clean and well equipped. Waking up to that breathtaking view and the sounds of the jungle every morning was incredible. Geo and his wife come every day to maintain the home and they’re extremely sweet. I arrived with a bad sunburn and they left some fresh cut aloe in the fridge, that was very kind of them and thoughtful! The house doesn’t have AC in the living room or kitchen which was surprising at first but the house lets in an amazing breeze so it’s never overwhelming plus the bedrooms have AC. We got to see a large family of about 15 Congo monkeys pass by the house and it was such an experience! We were very sad to leave and hope to return for another amazing vacation at casa Lunatica.

The house and pool dimensions are just crazy. The pictures depict the place precisely but in real the size is bigger than it looks. Anyway we have spent a great  short week at LunaTica lounge with our family (6 adults). We have used the spare bedroom as siesta/reading place in the shade and breeze during some warm afternoons. The daily housekeeping is great. It is true that you are not so keen to leave such a place too often... We have done the cascade trail which is fun  but miss the Capo Blanco reserve which is closed on monday and tuesday. All in all one of our best vacation spot so far.

We had an amazing stay at Lunatica Lounge, one of our most favourite luxury vacation homes EVER!! This was an absolute dream vacation with ALL the amenities and incredible hospitality from Ralf and the team at the house. It is furnished and decorated impeccably, and we had absolutely everything we needed and more. Everything is sparkling clean, every room is an adventure in architecture and creative ideas, furniture, lamps and decorations. Waking up to the sounds of the birds and howler monkeys was a treat, and lots of iguana friends came to hang out in the sun with us! The staff was very friendly and helpful during our stay, coming every day to clean and maintain the home. Although it has a very private, and what feels like remote location, the house is still only a few minutes from Montezuma with great restaurants and 10 minutes from the beaches, Playa las Manchas and Cabuya. The location of the house, sitting on its perch overlooking Playa las Manchas is stunning. While we enjoyed adventures to beaches and outdoor activities, we equally enjoyed simply being at the house relaxing. Its unique modern style, and beauty are truly hard to beat. Each room is special, including the large kitchen, dining and living area, outside terrazas and pool area with the comfy hammocks. The house is organized with everything you need including dishes, towels, cookware, laundry and bbq. Thank you for this great adventure! We are already planning our next trip just to stay at LUNATICAlounge again! thomas and lili

This accommodation was impeccable. From the house itself and the views, to the service our group received by the diligent, caring and responsive staff, we were treated like royalty. The house was sparkling clean and was maintained meticulously on a daily basis by the cleaners and grounds person. Dave, the concierge, was extremely helpful and attentive to any questions we had and even provided us with information he anticipated we would need. Staying at this house was preferred to an all inclusive accommodation for our group. It was serene and private. The views are gorgeous and the house is nestled in a peaceful location. There was a lot of wildlife who frequented the area around the house which made us feel like we received the true wild Costa Rican experience! Having the chef, Chris, was an excellent touch and we employed his services several times throughout our stay; that was worth every penny. This house is also in a great location being close enough to Montezuma but far enough away that you're not in the thick of any activity that might be going on. Our group also rented ATVs one day to check out the neighbouring towns (Cabuya, Cobano and Santa Teresa) which made for great day trips with just the right amount of travelling distance to enjoy an afternoon in any of those locations. We highly recommend this booking to anyone - the price point makes luxury accessible for a very reasonable cost. Thank you very much, Ralf. Pura Vida!!

This is an AMAZING Villa! And you should DEFINITELY book it. I will give an honest review with many good things to know, and a few improvement points for the Host. 1. Seriously, this is the most fantastic Villa we have ever rented, you will feel like you are in paradise. We have stayed many times in Costa Rica but this was by far the BEST. 2. The architecture and ambience of the Villa are wonderful! The views are amazing! It was breathtaking to look out at the Pacific Ocean from this amazing home every day. 3. The staff is VERY friendly and quick to respond. Dave (the local co-host) answers any questions in minutes, and he is very friendly. Gio and Lucretia (the houseman and housekeeper) work very hard. The house is very clean, every day; and the grounds and the pool are immaculate. 4. All 4 of the bedrooms are VERY comfortable, and can be configured as large queen-sized beds (2 of the rooms can be twin beds). The mattresses and pillows are very comfortable. With some houses you deal with 1 or 2 "bad" bedrooms, NOT with this House... all 4 bedrooms are quite nice. 5. Dave will be a good guide for you, he can make good recommendations, connect you with local info, and overall be available anytime you need something. 6. The pool and the view..... what can I say? Just magnificent. Here are the improvement points: 1. Some maintenance items need to be watched in advance of guests arriving. On arrival day we had no hot water; this took 3 days to repair. Some silly things, such as a toilet seat laying on the floor on our arrival day; doors with hinges that squeak very loudly (in the middle of the night it's annoying), one of the stove burners does not work, the main refrigerator doesn't make ice very well (but there is another refrigerator in the garage). In general, there should be more proactive maintenance; for the price of this Villa, we think everything should be working very well (especially the hot water). 2. Some silly things: The Host wants to save some money. On a typical Villa I can understand; but at this price, the Air Conditioning should be 100% at the Guest's choice. The owner has installed a "timer" which turns all the AC units off every 4 hours. If you sleep with the AC on (we do) you will wake up at 3am and feel warm. Some people do not like AC; some guests like it. For this price, the Guest should be able to choose. Another silly thing, the Host refuses to provide Beach Towels, chairs, or umbrella. In Costa Rica the beaches are the best thing to see! And all the other Villas we have stayed in, provide these little extras. For $5000 per week, little extras like this should be included. 3. Be aware that 1 of the Bedrooms (the biggest one, facing directly to the Pool) has no AC at all; we were really surprised by this. 4. The Jungle! Yes, it is very tropical. This did NOT bother us, but you should be aware there may be little "visitors" sometimes. We had a scorpion, a small bat, spiders, and MANY ants. This just goes with the territory! Do NOT let this prevent you from going, just be aware. OVERALL: You should BOOK this amazing Villa. I am sure the Host will make a few changes to make it even better, from getting Guest feedback. We would 100% love to stay here again. It was truly one of our most memorable vacations ever. Pura Vida!

This place was huge! Lots of room and different spaces for mingling and relaxing. We really liked our concierge, Dave. He was friendly and responsive no matter how many questions and changes we threw at him. He helped us get chefs, ATV's, food, and more! The views of the ocean were fantastic and we were able to see wildlife without leaving our place! However, having monkeys come to you does come with a few drawbacks; you just need to be ok with a few small lizards and some bugs. It was nothing we weren't expecting since we were in a jungle. Overall, we thought this place was a great value and we would highly recommend to others.

We loved staying at LunaTica! The house is so great and so fun! It is BIG and has so many facilities that you dont even need to leave the house if you dont want to. One morning we were hanging out in the pool and we saw whales passing by! Monkeys and a cute coati also paid us a visit. Montezuma is just down the hill and Santa Teresa 30 mins away both with great restaurants. Thanks Erica who was super friendly and hands-on!! We'd love to come back one day :)

Luna Tica was a dream. Worth every penny! If you want a secluded jungle paradise, that is exactly what you will get. 

This place is amazing. The views are stunning from any angle. The house itself is a beauty. Then you have the ocean views, the monkeys and we even saw a coati. Jeff was a very helpful host. He helped set up fishing trips, custom tours and was available to answer any questions that might come up. We had a chief come to the house and cook a local breakfast each day. She even cooked fish that we caught for dinner one night. It was all delicious. We also enjoyed the local restaurants, which were very good. The house is secluded and not easy to get to. You will want a 4 wheel drive. But getting there is half the fun and worth the effort. The village is small and quaint. I would highly recommend the LunaTica Lounge to anyone visiting Costa Rica.

Dear Michael,  We are so pleased you enjoyed your stay as much as you did! You guys certainly took advantage of all the wonderful extras we can provide for our guests, and of course the villa and the views speak for themselves! You’re lovely family is welcomed back absolutely anytime. Pura Vida :)

WOW! Or to say it in other words: WOW WOW WOW! I could not imagine before, that an estate like LunaTica is available for ‚normal‘ guys as we are. But it is, for sure!!! LunaTica let dreams comes true! Thank you Ralf & Jeff, we had a great time!

Hola Simon! Thanks for your visit, and for your enthusiastic review :) It truly is a magical place set among true natural beauty with one of the greatest views one could imagine. You guys are welcomed back anytime!

This reservation was amazing... worth more than it's weight in gold. Do not be put off by the price, it is a unique experience in Costa Rica that you will never find elsewhere. The villa is stunning! Everything from the view, the monkeys and wildlife, the pool and the architecture make this a one of a kind spot. The service/communication provided with the owners was great. Jeff helped us find the perfect activities for our group, showed us around, introduced us to locals & restaurants, etc. There are 2 people full time at the villa to help out/clean if need be. It's an 8 minute drive from Montezuma which is a very charming town and has a really cool beach. 30 minutes away from Santa Theresa which has awesome surfing. Go ahead, you deserve it!

We spent a week at Luna Tica in February 2018. As a group of 6 friends we found the villa spectacular. Our experience working with our host, Jeff leading up to the trip was great. He was extremely helpful with organizing everything we needed; chef services, excursions and restaurants. He went out of his way and we felt he truly cared about making our week special. Upon arrival at the house, even after having seen the photos online we were thoroughly impressed. The property is beautiful, remote enough to relax but close enough to easily enjoy the surf village of Montezuma. The house staff were great at keeping everything clean and well maintained. We highly recommend the chef services of Juan Luis and his mother Yolanda.  Everything was prepared to our personal tastes and was the best food we had all week. Overall our experience at Luna Tica was fantastic. Pura Vida.

Wow what an incredible experience! The villa was exactly as pictured and described and far exceeded our expectations. A true first class view and experience in a really fascinating part of the world. Check in was simple and they even met me in the village to show me the way to the property. They arranged a horseback ride along the beach to a breathtaking waterfall which goes into the sea. If only there was more time! I will definitely be returning one day soon. Pura Vida!

What a wonderful house! We felt in love with the spacious house and the dschungel surrounding on the first day and hardly wanted to leave this little big paradise... The best way to chillex and enjoing holidays ! Lucretia, Belen & Giovanni were super friendly and helpul and could help as with every information we needed.. Because it is such a beautiful hidden place we quickly extended our stay and it was easly working out with our sympatic host Ralf... For sure we will come back and will recommend this place to all our friends back home.. Ralf ! Hier hast du ein wundervolles verstecktes kleines Paradies verwircklicht... Wir werden uns liebend gerne unser ganzes Leben an dieses einmalige Zuhause erinnern . ganz herzlichen Dank.
