Hotel Luna Llena

The Hotel Luna Llena created an association to save monkeys and all animals using trees to survive and move around here in Costa Rica. We created the association in 2004 together with Patricia Sterman from the Azul Profundo Store (it won the nomination of the most green shop of 2010) due to the incessant deaths of these animals by electrocution, we tried to face the problem and look for a solution. Among other projects, we also took part of the Reforestation Plan of all public green areas together with the Santa Cruz Municipality. We kindly ask to our guests to respect all green areas of the Country and to choose only those tours that do not have a strong impact on nature and on the beauty of Costa Rica. According to this, we decided not to offer to our guests the tour to see the Baulas turtles in Playa Grande. The reason is that 16 years ago there were 1800 of them coming to the beach and now in 2011 there are just 39 turtles. We would like to suggest to our guests to ask at our reception how to reach Ostional beach, paying the entrance to the national Park of Ostional and assist to an unforgettable event. It is a way of participating to nature without bothering the turtles and help the Costa Rican people that works in this field. The owners of the Hotel Luna Llena live in Costa Rica since 1995 and their employees are all "Ticos" from here; it is at least 8 years that we work together with the same goal. Please do not forget to use sun protection.
