Beautiful ocean front resort just north of Jaco. Clean and quiet with lots of things to do while you are there. The service at all of the outlets was great, save one. The buffet dinner was a disaster. The girl at the grill was pitiful, the manager was useless and the service staff was intimidated. I paid my dues there... More

We stayed here for a few days. To get around they have a free shuttle service just have to wait a few minutes not bad. The beach playa blanca is beautiful. If you don't get the all inclusive it gets expensive very quickly, the restaurant opens at 7 I think but charges a Buffett styles and for two its about... More

Our stay at Punta Leona was an unexpected stop while visiting Costa Rica The grounds are lovely, our condo was perfection and we had the large infinity pool in our complex to ourselves for 3 days! The Playa Blanco was right down the stairs of the hill and the beach, the beers and the view were worth every penny. However,... More

I went to the Punta Leona Hotel and Resort at first excitedly (having read good reviews) and then apprehensively (reading bad reviews recently posted). Perhaps this was a good thing because I called from San Jose letting them know I'd be there shortly. The receptionist finally found my reservation, and upon arriving to the front entrance, my name was easily... More

Two things that struck me when I used TripAdvisor to see the reviews for this hotel: 1. The hotel management only responded to positive comments, not those that outline specific problems. 2. The less than positive comments made by visitors mentioned the size and difficulty in getting around...it seemed to be the common theme. As I was committed to this... More

I first stayed here five years ago and remembered I wasn't impressed with the lodging. Although I was reluctant to return this visit, I did since we didn't want to waste time driving to the northern coast. The beach is incredible although I wish there were more guest lounge chairs. Again we stayed in the condos and again I was... More

I took some out of country friends to Restaurant Leona Mar for dinner. One of my friends ordered a club sandwich that had 4 pieces of dry toast (no mayonaise) no lettuce, one tiny piece of bacon. It looked like they had run out of food and this was the remaining table scraps made into a sandwich. The other plates... More

Much as I liked all the wildlife we saw here, especially the scarlet macaws and the motmot, as well as the monkeys and coatimundis who made their rounds at mealtimes, this place was just too big and condo-ized for it to feel like a true eco-lodge. Swimming at Playa Blanco in the warm and buoyant Pacific water was my favorite... More
