Hotel Punta Leona
A true gem of Costa Rica, Hotel Punta Leona invites you to immerse yourself in its rich biodiversity. Nestled just 80 kilometers from Juan Santamaria International Airport, this expansive resort seamlessly blends vibrant forest with the soothing embrace of sandy beaches. Your arrival experience begins in the lobby, where bamboo accents and textured stone weave a narrative of nature's elegance; it's where the first hints of Costa Rican artistry-subtle without being obtrusive-warmly welcome you. Whether your cozy suite faces the verdant reserve or the sparkling beach, be prepared to be wowed by nature's spectacle. The outdoor dining area features Carabelas, a buffet-style restaurant that offers a delightful Costa Rican gastronomic experience encircled by the green cacophony of the rainforest, awaiting the curious gaze of white-faced monkeys as you savor breakfast. The hotel's features appeal to everyone: adventure seekers can partake in diving classes, while tranquility can be found at the intimate Nature Spa, where restorative treatments beckon amongst the trees.
Explore the Local Area
Punta Leona serves as a launch point for exploration; just four kilometers away is Carara National Park, a paragon for birding enthusiasts boasting over 330 species of exotic birds, while the nearby Mariposario Punta Leona provides an eye-opening look at vibrant butterfly species. Within moments, you're on stunning Playa Blanca or the charming Playa Mantas, both offering gorgeous sunsets and excellent opportunities for aquatic adventures. Further afield lies the quaint village of Punta Leona itself, easily navigable by the hotel's shuttle bus, providing a scenic route meandering past lush landscapes interspersed with quaint farmlands. Look out for the magical marine life here, as it offers a foundation for restorative diving experiences. All these attractions create an irresistible call to action for the curious traveler.
