People that work here were friendly. It was the people that visited (locals) from this country that were very unkind. Told us to go back to our country. I will never come back here again. Terrible experience. I stayed in my room the whole trip here and the food was terrible.

This property is a resort. I believe there were 3 pools (1 was for children) a poolside bar, an tiki sushi bar. Two private beaches one right by the pools the other you drive a short distance to, definitely worth the drive, there were quite a few monkeys one with a baby on its back. Others trying to steel water out of peoples bags at the picnic tables. So fun!! It’s definitely a 5 star. The rental we were in was like a small condo unit with 2 units per place. All soundproofed. You can get 2 bedrooms, I believe I saw 3 bedroom units. It had it all. Everyone was so friendly. If I come back to Costa Rica this is where I’ll be.
Private beach probably 5 to 10 mins away

Punta Leona have the closest white beach to the Central Valley. It’s a matter of 1.5 hours drive and you are there. Hotel surroundings like pools, bars and beachfront facilities are good and enjoyable. However, some hotel rooms are not in best condition even though they were reconditioned recently. For instance, I was relocated because my shower was damaged. Personnel attitude needs improvement. Some of them don’t have the kindness you would expect to see. However, some of them are outstanding. I have to mention Kristel, for instance. She made the rest of my trip nice and enjoyable, with her efficient and fast actions that saved the trip. Thanks Kristel!

The property was pretty and the access to the gorgeous beach amazing. My apartment was pretty awful. Half of the lights didn’t work, the shower door was broken, the bedding was terrible- the sheet was thread bare and looked like it had grease stains. Very rundown. Barely any vegetarian options and zero vegan. I was traveling solo and the restaurants pretty much ignored me. There was one server who was very kind, and the check in staff were great. The spa was lovely and the massage wonderful.
