Hotel Layenda is a nice hotel. Breakfast is great and it typical. it's not the cheapest place around but the price is about right for the area. There is a shuttle bus that brings you to Playa Carrillo, one of the nicest quietest beaches in the area which is great. I recommend you have a car or some form of... More

I stayed in La Leyenda for 5 nights and couldn't have enjoyed my time there more. Upon walking into the hotel I felt immediately comfortable because of the warm welcome by the staff and the clean and well maintained environment. Everyone there from the drivers to the waiters to the managers of the hotel went out of their way to... More

A friend recommended Leyenda and so I booked my family of 5 and a friend for 3 nights to have fun on beach. We ended up spending much more time around the hotel than we expected because of the large pools, the tasty food at the restaurant and friendly staff. Carrillo beach is gorgeous and there are no hotels along... More

The building does not look abandoned like the previous reviewer mentions, the pool was cristal clear and with a perfect temperarue. Staff is friendly and curteous and the food is downright delicious and with fair prices. We... More

Please bear in mind we were a family of 2 adults and 1 baby 20 month and we had a car rented for the whole stay. Among the other places of the Pacific Ocean (Tamarindo/Conchal/Manuel Antonio) we believe this was the best beach for the relaxed family holiday. The hotel was also one of the best we stayed at in...
