Tamarindo, Guanacaste -- (SBWIRE) -- 01/14/2015 -- The online magazine PsychologyToday.com recently featured an article entitled "The importance of vacations to our physical and mental health" written by columnist Susan Krauss Whitbourne, Ph.D. Dr. Whitbourne writes, "Taking a vacation may be necessary for mental health. The act of taking a vacation or holiday away from home has the potential to break the cycle of stress that affects millions of people. After a restful vacation, these individuals often feel ready to dive head first into their normal daily routines with added energy and renewed gusto. Family vacations serve an even greater role, as these getaways can bring families closer together and improve relationships in an atmosphere very different from their regular environment."

Meeting the needs of travelers who wish to experience rest, relaxation and a chance to stay in one of the most beautiful natural resorts in the world, is the Cala Luna Hotel & Villas. Spokesperson for Cala Luna Federico Pilurzu explains, "Our family is very proud to be able to offer the ultimate vacation experience at the Cala Luna Hotel. For the repeated excellent service and luxurious accommodations we provide to our guests, we are honored to have been ranked number 20 out of the leading 25 hotels of Central America in the '2014 TripAdvisor Travelers' Choice Awards.' This was awarded to us from reviews provided by travelers worldwide based on their reviews of both the Cala Luna Hotel & Cala Luna Beach Vacation Villas."

Federico Pilurzu elaborates, "The fact that our guests wholeheartedly recommend our resort to their family and friends comes as no surprise to us. My family and our entire team work with the sole goal of giving the most personalized services to everyone who chooses to stay with us. In designing this beach resort, our mission was always to make sure each guest came away with memories that would resonate with them for the rest of their life. To achieve this, we work to give them the most luxurious holiday imaginable."

"We have a cocktail lounge and a full service restaurant on the premises that serves up chef inspired meals. Our guests can partake of yoga lessons or find complete relaxation with services at our own on-site spa." Federico Pilurzu states, "Unlike large hotels that are fun by corporations, our beach hotel and villas are family run. Our team gets to know our guests personally so that we can accommodate their requests and anticipate their needs. We cater to families, business trips, groups and romantic couples looking for the perfect retreat here in gorgeous Costa Rica."

To this Federico adds, "Through our efforts and the dedication of all of our staff members, our guests at the Cala Luna are treated to a vacation filled with comfort, incredible views of this natural environment, safety and security at all times. Whether it's a morning of yoga by the pool, a trip into the bustling town of Tamarindo for the day or an evening spent walking on the pristine beaches of Playa Langosta on the Pacific Ocean, there is nothing like a vacation at the Cala Luna."
