My girlfriend and I visited this resort in costa rica in december 2012. costa rica, is hot and humid. be prepared for this. the hotel we chose, was a great place for the money we spent. there are 2 beaches, and both are expansive and gorgeous. this is not a place you stay if walking is a problem for you,...

Suprising to see some negative reviews. This place is a unique huge resort surrounded by jungle, features the best (and private!) beach close to San Jose and offers more wildlife than a suburban zoo, from monkeys and iguanas to parrots and tucans roaming the grounds freely. We even saw an ant eater. Accomodation is very comfortable and not expensive, given... More

Saw more wildlife here than anywhere else on our trip!!! White-faced monkeys and coatis all around the restaurant at breakfast (Fun to watch but people really shouldn't feed them the way they do...) A tree anteater was making its way across the canopy from tree to tree above our breakfast buffet. (Super Cute!!!) Lovely nesting pair of endangered scarlet macaws... More

The Punta Leona complex is ENORMOUS, like a big nature reserve. It's three miles of narrow twisting road from the main gate to the hotel. The resort consists not only of the hotel but condominiums and housing developments as well. The big plus is that it borders on Playa Blanca, one of the most beautiful beaches in Costa Rica: calm...

First and foremost, if you are staying at Punta Leona, do yourself a big favor and EAT at "The Grill". The other restaurants here cannot hold a candle to the food and service you will get here. It took us until our third night to discover it and it turned out to be the jewel of the restaurants here. Yes,... More

This property seems to be huge. No idea of the acreage involved but it's a long way from the gate to the reception desk. Loud music aound some of the pools coming from the bar but it doesn't quite make it to the beach or the rooms...thankfully. The food at breakfast is very good and lots of variety; our dinner... More

We enjoyed staying at the Punta Leona. The grounds are lovely, the white sand beach is perfect. My best advice is to use the onsite tours that are offered with your stay--we saw more animals during tours with the naturalist at the hotel than we saw at Manuel Antonio. We tended to stay at the hotel more than we would... More

On Christmas night while we were watching YouTube videos in a Galaxy phone, someone knock on the door loudly, after opening a guy who said was part of Punta Leona staff ask us to turn the volume down because according to the Costa Rican rules no music is allow after 10pm. When I made the reservation and check in nobody... More

Huge property, beautiful setting, shuttle buses to get from point A to the various others. Smaller beach and pool on the property, beautiful white sand beach (Playa Blanca) reachable by shuttle (and you'll know why you didn't walk when you take the shuttle) that runs every half hour. Butterfly garden and scarlet macaws on the property, as well as highly... More
