Fantastic Dining Experience

The dining options at Hotel Punta Leona exceeded my expectations. We particularly loved the Leon Morena restaurant, where Ruth, our good waitress, welcomed us every time with a warm smile. The food was delicious, and enjoying a meal while watching the monkeys interact in the trees was the perfect Costa Rican ambiance. I still think about those meals and the stunning views we had while dining there!

Nature-Focused Leisure!

The leisure facilities were absolutely amazing! The pools were well-kept, which provided a refreshing escape after a day of exploring the grounds. The environment was vibrant, filled with wildlife. I had the chance to join the morning bird watching tour led by Alex, who was so knowledgeable and entertaining. Experiencing the beautiful birds, including macaws, was lovely. It felt like I was truly immersed in nature!

Family-Friendly Fun!

Traveling with kids, I was thrilled with the children's amenities. The pools were not only clean but were also safe and fun for kids. They spent hours splashing around, and the wildlife sightings like toucans and raccoons added to their excitement. The butterfly garden was another highlight for my children; they couldn't get enough of the colorful butterflies flitting around. It was fantastic to see them learning and having fun in such a beautiful setting.

Engaging Entertainment!

The entertainment during our stay was enjoyable and engaging. We participated in an evening nature walk, which was an very nice experience. The guide, Alex, shared so much interesting information about the wildlife we encountered. It's not every day you get to see a sloth up close! The live music at the poolside bar in the evenings added to the festive atmosphere, making our nights lively and enjoyable.
