This is a sprawling resort set in acres and acres of forests and beaches. Zip lining through the canopy and laying around on the beautiful white sand beach, Playa Blanca, were some of our highlights. There are several free tours/excursions you can take during your stay, including bird walks, hikes and butterfly garden tours. The resident macaws are beautiful, plentiful, and loud. The monkeys are used to being fed by humans, and will come down to the beach or your breakfast table for snacks (don't feed them!!). The meals were good, and the room was clean and modern. We would stay here again in a second.

In summer we traveled through Central America from Panama City to Cancun. Punta Leona was one of th places we stayed for few nights mostly due to the nature around. The quality of the service, rooms, cousine is not the perfect but if you like a nature you can immediately forget about such small trifles. To see an exotic animals it is enough to go outside of your room or to take small trip to located near Manuel Antonio National Park. Early in the morning hotel offers bird walks and you can see and make photos of several local birds lice tucans, parrots and many others. Additionally not so far away you can find beautiful beach with the coach running very often from the hotel area.

When I entered our room upon checkin, I saw a candle with matches. I only pondered this candle for a second before the power went out to the entire resort. It stayed off for hours and would return intermittently thorought out the day. I learned what the candle was really for quickly. The room itself was clean. The decor was worn out and the room was weathered. This is a big hotel and could be considered a mini community. The view from our room was unimpressive. It faced a parking lot. The staff was average and overwhelmed by the number of Ticos (Costa Rica locals) and other guests. The hotel was very packed when we stayed there for three nights. The food was only average everywhere we ate.
The wildlife was great! Toucans, macaws, monkeys and butterflies everywhere. This was the best part, in my opinion. As there was no fitness center, we ran the long "driveway" to the main road. This was about 2.5 miles each way. The zipline staff were great. Next time, I will consider other hotels in this area for better room quality and overall resort quality.

Me and my family with some friends stayed here for 10 days... The place is clean and nice but there was a severe security essue conserning a weirdo at playa mantas wich is the beach next to the pool, front desk and restaurants. One may think is the safest but NO! There was this wierd guy walking around by the kids' pool and the near gardens we noticed him, so we kept an eye on him (we were with 3 kids) then he was hidding by some bushes and took off his shorts, he was in a thong speedo and started touching himself over the speedo... We quikly distracted the kids and went to tell some one from the staff, we told a gardener cause was the nearest, but the guy noticed we were telling and left, the gardener told security but wasn't fast enough so this creep was already gone. It was very scary, we are not coming back here EVER! It is not a safe place!!!
