We got married there in November and can't speak highly enough of the staff at this place! They managed everything I asked for and went above and beyond much of the time to give me a beautiful day. The grounds are gorgeous and the 2 pools as well as private beach kept things from ever feeling full although the hotel... more

My girlfriend and I stayed at Punta Islita from 17 thru 24 May 2009. Two slight distractions which the hotel had nothing to do with. AA lost my luggage for one day (they though did deliver it to the hotel the next day) and also, the drive from the airport in Liberia is rather grueling...a 3 hr drive and the... more

Hotel Punta Islita is located in one of the most beautiful places in the world. The vista from the restaurant, the pool(s), your room, pretty much everywhere is simply stunning. It really makes every moment better just soaking it all in. I look at our photos and realize I cannot fully capture just how wonderful the place was. From the... more

I wish we did not spend too many days (5) here. The location is beautiful. Ours was a honeymoon suite with hot tub, although the water was never hot. We would have to call the front desk each time we wanted to heat the water. Big pain. Every night they had a ridiculously priced 'theme buffet" tasted terrible, hardly had... more

We drove from Arenal (2 1/2 hours)to the San Jose airport to take a 33 minute flight to Guanacaste. You can drive but it takes 5-6 hours and the other families we spoke with, told us that they would opted to fly next time. This hotel is perched on the cliffs, overlooking the pacific ocean. The views are spectacular. This... more

We spontaneously booked this trip in mid-march (14th) and were delighted with the wonderful surprise. I would echo the past reviews in saying that the staff, grounds and food are all great and it would be a teriffic introduction to Costa Rica, particularly if it is your first visit to the country (different but not too different). You will definitely... more

In a secluded cove, you'll find this gorgeous, small resort a great escape. A quick flight on Nature Air (I didn't find it scary in the least) gets you to this luxury set of casitas on a hillside overlooking a cove in the Pacific. The waves are gentle enough to relax in, yet kick up enough to surf in...while the... more

Hotel Punta Islita is a fabulous, unique and special place that is hard to describe. We had a fantastic vacation, a trip like no other we have experienced. My husband and I traveled with 5 kids (ages 10, 12, 13, 15 & 16). We flew in on a private charter from San Jose on March 21st and flew out on... more

Great attention to detail. Beautiful setting. View from restaurant and pool on top was breathtaking. Staff was sincere and very friendly. Food was incredible - s nothing fancy - but everything was so fresh. If you want cheaper food - the restaurant two blocks away is good and much cheaper than the hotel. Walking around resort was good exercise. If... more
