Guest Reviews
- Stefan (8/5): - Heerlijk huisje, met buitendouche! Fantastisch uitzicht, grote verscheidenheid aan vogels.
- Juan Manuel Velez (9/5): - Un lugar hermoso, pero si hay que considerar qie la subida a las habitaciones es muy inclinada
- Melle (10/5): - Todo
- Vyvazil (10/5): - Byli jsme překvapení, že kopec není nic hrozného, jak se píše v některých recenzích. Převýšení je tak maximálně 25 výškových metrů a pro nás to nebyl žádný problém. Díky lehce vyvýšené pozici nad pláží byl z našeho bungalovu krásný výhled a ocenili jsme i příjemný vánek od moře. Bungalovy jsou zasazeny v tropické zahradě a skoro odevšad je výhled na moře a ostrov San lukas.
Absolutně jsme byli nadšení z pláže s lehátky, sprchou a postelí nad vodou a taky z plážové restaurace.
Snídaně skoro na pláži byla moc dobrá. Na bufetu bylo pečivo, máslo marmelády atd. + studené a teplé pítí a hlavní talíř jsme si objednali z menu a byl součástí snídaně. Dopláceli jsem si jen margaritu :-).
Jídlo v restauraci bylo skvělé. Personál trochu pomalejší, ale velmi vstřícní - hlavně Daniel.
- Jeremías Alonso (9/5): - Las instalaciones y Ubicación
- Emilio Guerra (7/5): - Ubicación perfecta con vistas a la bahía y a Isla San Lucas. Playa muy tranquila. Bungalow nuevo muy espacioso. Desayuno muy rico Los bungalows están en cuesta con piedras. No recomendado para personas mayores o limitados de movilidad. No hay servicio a la piscina de bebidas y tener que ir a buscarlas y subir por esas vistas no es agradable. La ducha exterior como idea está bien, pero incómoda para salir. Al menos en el número 2. Lo que no me gustó nada fue el baño exterior sin que nada lo protegiera , solo el techo y los muros, pero tener que salir de la habitación afuera a 38° no es agradable y por la noche mucho menos
- Dayanna (6/5): - No me gusta
- Anant (8/5): Stunning hotel in a quiet location - Stunning hotel. Location is wonderful for couples or families with older kids. The bay is beautiful to look at. Great pool and vibe on the covered decking next to it. The hotel restaurant is nice with good food and drink. We thought the slope was exaggerated in other reviews and we are quite fit as a family but...it does make you think twice if you forgot something! The boat tour is great from the hotel. If you are looking for a peaceful stay (other than the howler monkeys and woodpeckers which are great) look no further. If you are looking for more to do locally then it is a little quiet here.
- Sonja (9/5): -
- Markus (9/5): - Sehr schön gepflegte Anlage mit tollem Pool. Lage direkt am Strand. Essen im Restaurant ebenfalls sehr gut. Highlight war die vom Hotel angebotene Biolumineszenz-Bootstour.
- Karin (10/5): - Es ist ein Paradies. Am Morgen von Brüllaffen geweckt worden. Wir waren 3 Tage hier zum Erholen. Einfach nur schön. Liebevoll angelegte Anlage. Toller Pool Es gibt nichts negatives
- Bruno (5/5): Tolle Anlage mit schlecht geführtem Management - Die Lage ist sehr schön, auch wenn die tollen Bungalows nicht am Strand liegen sondern alle am Hang. Auch der Pool und die Liegen sind schön gelegen mit toller Aussicht. Wir haben viele Vögel, Affen und Leguane gesehen. Das Frühstück und der separat zu zahlende Preis ist eine absolute Frechheit.
Zum Preis für die Übernachtung sollten auch die Standup Paddel inbegriffen sein. Es paddelt kein Mensch! Oben am Pool kann man keine Drinks bestellen. Für was die Stühle und Tische dort sind ist daher unklar.
Bedienung im Restaurant ist mässig freundlich. Einzig Luis an der Reception war freundlich. Essen war gut.
Trotz 3 Übernachtungen wurde nie geputzt, Abfall entsorgt oder die Tücher gewechselt.
Tolle Anlage aber zu teuer und vor allem ein schlechtes Gesamtmanagement. Echt schade für diesen Standort und der vorhandenen Infrastruktur.
- Cécile (10/5): - Notre lodge était parfaite, très bien équipée et propre avec une belle vue sur la mer et le parc. La salle de bain extérieure atypique était vraiment un plus ! La piscine est aussi très agréable.
En bref un petit havre de paix.
- John (7/5): Enjoyed the area and as always the people. There is a Soda right at the ferry terminal that has good food. - The place has its own beach. It is right across from Isle of San Lucas. Sunrise one morning was spectacular. Howler Monkeys were bedded in a tree right in front of Cabins 1 and 2. They have a restaurant on site with service throughout the day. If you have a rental car the drive to Montezuma was nice. The $36 entrance fee to the Curu Park for my wife and me was the best money spent on the trip Apparently there is no parking at any of the cabins and the higher number cabins are a significant uphill walk to get to them as well as the pool and cabana area. Also no cabin is truly beachfront as the description for ours, cabin 1.
- Stephan (9/5): -
- Esteban (10/5): Vistas al mar y lugar de paz - Hermoso lugar, pet friendly, todos los bungalows tienen una ubicación muy bonita con vista al mar, con vegetación alrededor, la piscina muy agradable, cocina completa, cama cómoda, el mar al frente del hotel, sin oleaje, nosotros hicimos kayak y fue una experiencia inolvidable, se puede ver fauna silvestre, si haces el sendero del hotel te lleva a una playa privada hermosa, volveríamos definitivamente
- Alfredo (10/5): -
- Ralph (10/5): -
- Brenes (8/5): - Las instalaciones. La hora de salida es mas temprano que lo de costumbre en hoteles de CR. Y las habitaciones no tienen servicio de limpieza diario.
- Jerome (8/5): Attention à la montée - Personnel accueillant et disponible
Lodge bien équipé, en pleine nature
Belle piscine
Très bon resto et bar sur place La clim est bruyante, on ne peut pas dormir avec toute la nuit mais il y a des ventilateurs au plafond
L'accès aux lodge se fait par une pente très raide, 4x4 très bien venu.
Ensuite la voiture reste en bas et il faut monter ou descendre à pieds, donc il vaut mieux être en bonne forme
Petit déjeuner très Light
Pas de drpas en coton, donc on a vite très chaud
- Horst (9/5): - auf einer Anhöhe oberhalb von Playa Leona sind die 9 Einzelbungalows mit Küchenzeile und Outdoor Badezimmer sehr schön in die Natur integriert. Bäume bieten Schatten und manchmal kommen auch Brüllaffen vorbei.
Es handelt sich um neue Gebäude mit einer sehr schönen Terrasse und Blick auf die Bucht. Unser Bungalow Nr. 3 war geräumig und sehr sauber. Handtücher werden jeden 2 Tag gewechselt.
Zum Ent-/Beladen kann man mit dem Auto hoch fahren. Ansonsten muss das Fahrzeug unten beim Restaurant geparkt werden. Im Restaurant wird das Frühstück serviert und man kann auch gut und zu moderaten Preisen zu Mittag oder zu Abend essen. Internet im Bungalow nicht stabil.
Frühstück sehr minimalistisch (Kaffee, kleiner Obstteller und Toast mit Marmelade)
gegen Aufpreis kann aber a la Card bestellt werden
- Vondráčková (10/5): Misto, pobyt i personal super. - Krasne nove bungalovy na hranici pralesa, klidne misto pro odpocinek a nacerpani energie. K dispozici bazen s vyhledem na ocean, nedaleko plaze s velmi mirnym vstupem do more. Vyborna jidla v restauraci na plazi. Pobyt jsme si moc uzili. Bungalovy jsou rozesety v kopci, s tezsim pristupem (napriklad pro osoby se zhorsenou pohyblivosti). Personal je ale vzdy ochotny pomoci, maji k dispozici ctyrkolku. Ale vse vynahrazuje vyhled z bungalovu.
- Gabriela (7/5): -
- Sharon (8/5): - Location staff The description said our room had a view of the pool but it did not.
- Elisabeth (9/5): Hervorragend- jederzeit ein Muss in dieser Gegend! - die romantische Lage/Bungalow/Ruhe/Strand/Pool/Ausflüge Alles war gut- das Essen hätte ein wenig hochwertiger sein können- Frühstück( wie überall in Costa Rica) eintönig.
- NICOLAS (9/5): -
- Zdeňka (10/5): -
- Barbara (8/5): Top - Het was een mooi resort. Nog helemaal nieuw. Jammer geen drink flesjes op de kamer. De douche was erg zacht
- Elizabeth (8/5): -
- dave (10/5): Stunning location and view - Location. Stunning sea views, great pool and beach. Excellent food and service in the restaurant. Cabins are well sited among a jungle setting, well equipped kitchen . Loved the cabin veranda
We loved our stay. Best one in Costa Rica The Resort is built on a steep hillside. The majority of cabins are accessed by a very steep road. not easy for anyone physically challenged. This could be solved by adding a few winding interlinked foot paths.
But as long as you are fit or have a 4x4 it is a small price to pay for this stunning location.
- Charlotte ALEXANDRE (9/5): - Magnifique bungalow. Superbe piscine. Très bon petit déjeuner et restaurant sur une agréable terrasse. Jolie plage privée avec balançoires, hamacs et singes dans les arbres. Je recommande. Le wifi n'est pas très bon. Pour moi, le principal souci est l'absence de rideaux occultants. Simples rideaux sur la baie vitrée et aucun rideau ou store sur la fenêtre de la cuisine. Réveillés avec le soleil très tôt !
- Laura (9/5): Precioso fin de semana en pareja. - La playa frente al hotel, el sendero. No me sentí tranquila mientras usaba la ducha, siento que lo pueden ver a uno, yo estaba en la habitación 1, que queda abajo, entonces, creo que de arriba se puede mirar.
- RONNY (4/5): Décevant - Belle chambre avec vue sur mer et piscine. Resto au top et personnel gentil. Si pas de 4x4 l acces a la chambre c limite une randonnee tellement ca monte , le déjeuner pas de buffet , juste une assiette par personne (5 choix dont 4 ce jour il n y avais pas de pancake ça en deviens comique) , tout l hotel est en pente , les enfants c etait juste un matelas a terre , la climatisation on dirait un camion quand elle fonctionne en plus direct dans le lit.
Donc nous sommes partis la 1ere nuit au lieu de passer 2 nuits j ai q meme payé mais ce contenter d'un hotel moyen quand il y a de si beau hotel dans le costa rica.
Pour info si vous regardez mes autres avis je suis presque tj positif je trouve cette hotel surclassé dans les avis a un moment il faut se poser les bonnes questions.
J ai oublié wifi au chambre limite inexistant , et pas beaucoup d animaux sauvages a part des oiseaux et des chiens du moins sur la journée et la nuit passée , zut je rajoute aussi la lumière du jour passe dans la chambre donc a 6h on se réveille mais le déjeuner c de 8h a 10h
- Sven (8/5): Charmante Hütten in abgelegener Lage laden zum Entspannen ein! - Schönes Areal mit zwei Handvoll Hütten, direkt an einem Strand in Hanglage, einfache Hütten aber stilvoll, die Outdoor Dusche plus WC sind „besonders“, generell modern und relativ frisch renoviert, easy Trail (direkt vom Hotel) zum benachbarten Strand vorhanden Eingeschränkte Privatsphäre bei Outdoor Bad/WC, da Nachbarn in unmittelbarer Nähe sind (insbesondere für Haus 6), Restaurant war okay aber Qualität könnte höher sein (zB French Toast), es laufen 2-3 Hunde frei rum, die aber lieb sind
- domitilla (9/5): -
- Geri (9/5): A unique and quiet getaway with great beach access - Gorgeous view from room #3. Restaurant on site that makes things convenient since there is not a lot on this peninsula. The room is nice and the bathroom is so cool with it being outside. We saw iguanas and monkeys. Very neat! The AC is loud and light is so bright from it, we had to tape over it while we were there to sleep.
- Emeline (5/5): L’hôtel serait exceptionnel sans le dénivelé dangereux - Superbe piscine, très bon restaurant, personnel arrangeant, isolation de vis à vis de chaque chambre, très grand lit Un dénivelé dangereux est dans tout l’établissement, une randonnée pour atteindre les restaurant, la piscine et sa chambre : ça gâche absolument tout le séjour car très glissant, dangereux et pentu (j’ai eu une petite entorse et la voiture gros SUV s’est embourbée).
- Ivan (10/5): -
- anne (8/5): Hôtel à 10 minutes de l´embarcadère de playa Naranjo - La propriétaire est adorable et nous a aidés avec nos valises car les chambres sont disséminées sur une colline et ne sont pas accessibles en voiture. La salle de bain extérieure est originale. La chambre est jolie. L´airco est placé juste au dessus du lit.Il n´y a aucun moyen de s´assoir à l´intérieur ni aucun endroit pour mettre sa valise en hauteur.
- Sutherland (9/5): - Location, clean, liked outdoor bathroom, staff were great. Lighting in the room was limited. Needs some lamps.
- Jerry (9/5): - Un lugar muy tranquilo Falta espacio para parquear
- Katja (9/5): Schöne einsam gelegene Unterkunft mitten in der Natur, fast schon kitschig, wir würden sofort wieder kommen! - Sehr schöne und neuwertige Lodges, toller Ausblick, Pool und Strandzugang und ganztägig geöffnetes Restaurant, Massage vor Ort Duschwasser nicht wirklich warm (Outdoordusche), Frühstücken erst ab 8:00 möglich, schwierig wenn man frühe Touren bucht
- GUYONNET (9/5): - Des beaux bungalows avec des prestations de qualité .
- aurélie (10/5): Top - Tout était parfait, le bungalow, la piscine top Rien
- Jarvy (10/5): Me sorprendió - Mucho más lindo que en las fotos, fijo volveremos y a quedarnos por más tiempo.
El lugar es precioso, tranquilo, privado, nos encantó, y todo está construido y diseñado con un muy buen gusto.
- Inna (10/5): -
- Zoerselse reiziger (10/5): Hidden Gem - Heel vriendelijke bediening
Proper, midden in de natuur, open badkamer
Bioluminescence tour van het hotel was geweldig Eigenlijk niets maar 1 minpuntje zijn de synthetische lakens. Dat hadden we op diverse locaties in Costa Rica.
- Sandra (8/5): Insgesamt toll, aber selbst für Costa Rica zu teuer. Hier stimmt das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis nicht. - Sehr schöne, gut gemachte, alleinstehende Holz-Häuschen mit Außen Bad, gute Küchenausstattung, bequeme Betten. Sehr steil am Hang gelegen mit schwer zu begehendem Schotterbelag. Mit Auto ohne 4x4 quasi nicht machbar, man darf eh nur zum be-entladen hochfahren, ansonsten muss man laufen. Keine Strandliegen oder ähnliches unmittelbar am Strand. Frühstück a la Carte mit eingeschränktem Angebot für Hotelgäste (z.B. Eggs Benedict werden angeboten, kann man aber als Hotelgast nicht bestellen).
- Angela (10/5): Un lugar perfecto para descansar. - Que lugar tan maravilloso, la vista y la comodidad de la habitación, perfecto para descansar, no oír mas que la naturaleza. Me encantan sus políticas de cuidado porque hacen que uno disfrute mucho de la estancia, la playa es perfecta, estuvo muy sola y eso fue maravilloso porque se puede estar tranquilo. El desayuno muy rico y la atencion del personal una maravilla. Muy recomendado.
- Roland (3/5): - Architektur der Häuser; Bad Lage: ganz schlechter Strand; innige middle of nowhere
- Arjen (9/5): - De bungalow Dat het restaurant gesloten was, dat hadden ze niet doorgegeven
- Lino (9/5): - La piscina, la vistas, la cabaña, las zonas comunes, el baño exterior y el trato con el personal excelente. No hay luz en la terraza de la cabaña.
- Marta (8/5): - Very nice place in a great location. Good vibe. We loved the common space at the beach. Foor was very good, even though the restaurant was a bit expensive.
- Mary (10/5): -
- Gisela (10/5): Excelente lugar todo nuevo , mucha paz - Todo , excelente la habitación el colchón , los utensilios de cocina . Todo completo
El desayuno muy bueno y la atención también Nada
- Leonie (7/5): It’s a beautiful place, remote and quiet. Staff was very friendly. The outside shower is gorgeous. That the toilet is ou - The location is great. Pretty remote and really quiet Didn’t like it that the toilet was outside and that we did not get clean towels or any type of cleaning for the three nights we were there.
- Melvin (9/5): - La tranquilidad del sitio, las habitaciones y la ubicación frente al mar. El diseño de los baños es llamativo y elegante (abierto y sin techo), pero con la lluvia es complicado 😉.
- Cayan (9/5): Tolle Lodge - aber mit starker Berglage - Eines der besten und schönsten Unterkünfte seit langem. Tolles Konzept und alles neu. Viele Tiere direkt vor der schönen eigenen Veranda zu sehen. Das Badezimmer ist privat aber sehr originell halb draußen. Tolle Idee. Gab ein Problem mit den Toiletten am letzten Tag und wenn man eine Lodge weit oben hat, dann ist der Aufstieg schon sehr anstrengend. Das Meer haben wir gemieden, aber Pool ist gut.
- Rafael (8/5): Very good - Location bungalow and staff Beach wasn’t clean
- Alesha (8/5): Gorgeous and peaceful! Just check if the restaurant’s open, or be ready for a short drive to eat. - The setting is beautiful and incredibly peaceful, perfect if you're looking to unplug and relax. The bungalows are super cute and full of charm.
The pool area is lovely and serene, great for lounging with a book or just soaking up the quiet. There are hammocks, cabanas, and plenty of spots to sit and unwind, and we even saw monkeys hanging out in the trees, along with birds, lizards, and butterflies, which made the property feel almost magical in its natural setting. The paths are rocks and very steep to walk down to the lobby, there is no other way to get down other than driving or walking.
The sweet stray dogs roaming around added a unique warmth to the place—they’re very friendly and love attention. The hosts spoke decent English, were very friendly, and responded quickly to any questions! There’s a restaurant on-site, but it wasn’t open during my stay. It would’ve been really helpful to know that in advance since there’s no store nearby and the closest restaurant is over a mile away, so you’ll definitely want to bring your own food and snacks.
The bathroom in my bungalow was outside and not fully enclosed, while it was cool to have it outside it did not feel fully private. There was a king-size bed, it was extremely firm and very uncomfortable for me.
The property is on the beach, but it’s not really one you’d want to lay out on or swim at. The location is remote with nothing around, and with no food, drinks, or activities on-site, it felt a bit boring after a while.
The stray dogs, although incredibly sweet, were clearly malnourished and covered in fleas, which was heartbreaking to witness and disappointing that the property didn’t seem to care for them.
- R (8/5): Very good - The cabins are beautifully built of teak wood and situated with a comfortable distance in between them. The pool is quite nice and the beach there is lovely. The bathroom (toilet and shower) being outside was uncomfortable, especially because there is a walking path to other cabins above cabin #5 where we stayed, so there is no privacy at all in the bathroom.
- Lisa (9/5): Superb - The restaurant is permanently closed which I did not know at the time of booking a room. Without a car, and lack of planning on my part to bring food to cook, it was an issue. Other than that, everything about this place was exceptional.
- Jennifer (10/5): Peaceful, quiet, natural setting to rest and recharge! - The room was immaculate and very comfortable. The kitchenette had everything we needed to make our own meals. The pool and grounds were very clean and the surroundings were peaceful and scenic. We were looking for a quiet place to recharge in between more busy stops and this place completely nailed it! Quiet (except for howler monkey wake-up call:-) which we loved) and restful! Tons of beautiful birds and incredible array of birdsong! Will definitely go back. It was perfect.
- Christian (10/5): Good nature and animals - Space and facilities
- James (10/5): Exceptional -
- Lily (10/5): Lovely stay by playa Leona - Loved the studio, it was well furnished and comfortable. I guess I didn’t realize the bathroom would be outdoors but it wasn’t a problem, it was covered and private. The hosts were so nice and the included breakfast was yummy! Loved the pool as well The walk to our studio from the restaurant/parking lot was very steep and tiring but we managed
- Laura (10/5): Amazing stay in playa Leona - Everything was really great:
- the place is really beautiful and calm
- the bungalows are big and very confortable
- the restaurant is extremely good (and we are French, food matters a lot for us)
- the staff is very nice We liked everything. Thank you very much
- Barat (9/5): Very glad we stayed there. Lucy and Peter are wonderful hosts and the staff is very obliging. - The property is located on beautiful quite cove a bit to the North of Playa Blanca. Quite new, the rooms and facilities are tasteful, comfortable, and clean. Lovely outdoor shower with each room. Food was good but not stellar. As it is still a relatively new hotel, there are some kinks to be worked out.
