"Spacious rooms, friendly staff, and a tasty breakfast, with nice surroundings where macaws and other birds are often visible. Families should note that room doors aren’t toddler-proof and balconies could be unsafe for small children. Playa Mantas is nearby (parking can be tricky and costly). Playa Blanca requires additional fee and isn’t accessible through the hotel"

"Although the booking is advertised as Hotel Punta Leona, it is actually for Apartamentos Arrecifes rather than a room in the main hotel. This should be made clearer, as the apartments are farther away and require transportation, an important detail for families with young children or elderly travelers or anyone requiring a wheelchair. We also experienced a 40-minute delay at check-in because the room was not ready (partially compensated with a late check-out). Upon arrival, the apartment did not appear thoroughly cleaned, beach towels were missing, and the room phone was not working. Additionally, check-in takes place at the main hotel, about a 5-minute drive away on a poorly maintained road. The apartment includes a kitchen but lacks basic cookware. Air conditioning is limited to the bedrooms, while the living area only has ceiling fans. On the positive side, there is a supermarket within a short 2-minute walk."

"Such a beautiful stay"

"The pictures shown are on purpose misleading, focusing on some fitness model. The facilities felt like they had seen better days and are now decaying, not being maintained properly. The floor of our room seemed like it had rust/was permanently dirty. The room was not so clean, and we found hair in the duvet and pillows. Not just one, but quite some here and there in our bed. The couch had stains and marks. Same for our white towels, they all had stains. For what we paid (around $170 per night), really not worth it. We stayed at 3-star hotels around Costa Rica that were much better, by no means was this a 4.5 star property. The breakfast felt also poor, just a dish to chose from a menu, and not a huge quantity. Everywhere else in Costa Rica they were offering fresh fruits as well in advance, and if we hadn’t asked for juice ourselves, they wouldn’t have offered, in contrast to all other places we have been. Finally it can feel quite noisy on the rooms of lower floor, next to street/restaurant. I was really surprised with all this after all the good reviews I had seen, making me wonder if we were unlucky with the room, or something else was happening."

"Great facilities, wonderful pool and lots of places to walk. Very relaxing and comfortable."

"Older hotel and basic rooms. Could use a facelift. Driveway in is dangerous to get in and out of."

"Room was good. Clean. Neat. Pool very nice. Quiet. Breakfast was superb and lady was so nice. You have to drive all through a small town to get there. But resort is very peaceful and quiet."

"Communication was grudging at best, there was no one there to receive us and no information folder. In consequence, we did not have the front door code or the lock box code to get the beach club cards until hours after we arrived and I had bullied the driver that picked us up at the airport into helping me. Bob was great! The property is amazing and we enjoyed it tremendously. The area has lots of restaurants and convenient shopping. Rent a golf cart, it made our lives so easy!"

"Clean room and steps from the pool. The air conditioner is ice cold and the bed very comfy. We also liked the spacious shower. Pops ice cream is to die for and we enjoyed the short walk to mantas beach where we saw many monkeys with their babies, a sloth and her baby too along with the resident macaws! The pool is clean huge and very welcoming!! We liked the iguanas sunning beside the pool too. We would stay again, very private and abundant wildlife too"
