Punta Islita, Autograph Collection

Fantastically situated on the hights of a scenic bay, this 5 star hotel is one of the best in Costa Rica. This was our third stay. The restaurant serves high quality meals. Even on the beach, the meals served are rcceptionnal. There are many interesting activities organized by the staff. Many beautifull birds and facinating animals.

We spent 10 days here in October 2019 and really enjoyed our stay. We traveled with our 3 children (8,5,1.5 years) and stayed in a lovely Casita ("Cedros"). Our unit came with a golf cart which my kids LOVED. It was great for getting around the resort and to Coco's Beach Club because it was definitely too far to walk with kids. The included activities were great for ages 5+: my kids ziplined 4x (on site at resort) and also rode horses on the beach. Louis and Ronald were both knowledgeable and personable and my kids loved getting to see them multiple times for different activities during our stay. Since we went during the rainy season, the resort was very uncrowded which meant we could easily get into all activities we wanted. Louis took us to see turtles laying eggs at night which we also really enjoyed (add on activity). The resort itself is very beautiful and well maintained. Our 3 bed unit was spacious and clean and had a lovely pool. The animals and vegetation all around are stunning - Macaws, howler monkeys, iguanas, deer, coatis and all sorts of tropical plants. The beach here is rocky but very uncrowded and naturally beautiful with waterfalls and lots to explore. The location is quite remote with a small grocery in town. We rented a car part way through so we could go explore Samara and another nearby beach to see hatching turtles. All in all, we really enjoyed our time at Punta Islita. I would highly recommend it to others looking for a family friendly resort.

Awesome, exceedingly special place to relax , unwind and observe so much nature in this unspoilt super friendly, safe, environment. This hotel is superb. All the staff give warm welcoming assistance in a none invasive way, so wonderful. Extremely clean and very, very comfortable. Website photos do show the true beauty. Small touches add to this experience with local craft works displayed and incorporated into all the room. Thanks to the whole ream for our unforgettable holiday

Amazing hotel. Everything about our stay was incredible.

Location, views and wildlife were fantastic. We received an “upgrade” from 2 separate toons to a lodge with 2 rooms. Unfortunately the upgrade was remote and at the bottom on a very steep climb away from the restaurant meaning that a transfer was required every time you wanted to go to the main restaurant or reception.

The hotel was nice and very well set up for families or people that are looking to go for a week and have a lot of activities included at no cost (ziplining, golf, monkey walks, horse back riding) without having to rent a car or find outside companies. We didn't do any of the activities but ventured off the beaten path a bit. No one else in the hotel seemed to be doing this... or have a rental car. The beach and both pools are lovely. It is pretty secluded. The "town" consits of about 3 buildings. There is a tapas place right up the road, the guy who runs it's name is Miguel. This is an absolute must!! They're beach club resturant has nice options as well. Enjoy your trip!

So relaxing. Anything we requested was received within no time at all. Would definitely recommend. Beautiful surroundings. Moderately priced food which tasted very good.

Hotel Punta Islita is somehow overpriced located next to the beach and surrounded by mountains.

Nice hotel next to the beach and surrounded by mountains.

The resort was first-rate in every way. The staff were charming and very accommodating, the facilities are immaculately maintained, and the setting exquisite. A special treat: the hotel offers activities that are free to guests: bird-watching hikes, money hikes, sunset hikes, horseback-riding, cooking and art classes, and zip-lining. Fun for all ages!
