Hotel Arenas en Punta Leona

The hotel is somewhat huge. Room shower does have hot and cold water. They have family and kids activities every day around the pool. The restaurant has amazing food btw. The price is not expensive compared to others nearby. So you could literally dine in of you felt like it. There is pool service in the middle and you can walk to the nearby beach in 10 minutes. So all is good and well here.

Rooms are not great, old and run down, but the surrounding property is nice and a great pool. Service has been really good. Our room included three meals, breakfast lunch and dinner, and the food wasn't amazing but it was bad either and it was a good selection that came with great service. $300 per night for the room is not worth it but $300 for the room with the meals and included adult drinks is a good value.

The hotel was nice and of course the view was great. It's what you expect from Costa Rica. There's wifi coverage almost everywhere in the area. However the service is not good at all. There isn't any equipment you expect to be in a hotel (e.g. slippers, toothpaste, toothbrush etc.). The other very annoying thing is that you should walk about 10 minutes to get to the breakfast place. It's the same for the main pools, sport facilities and the beach. Another not pleasant thing is that the moment you check in, they give you a couple of paper wrist bands which allows you to walk around the area and have breakfast at the restaurant and you should wear them all the time while you're staying at the hotel (even taking a shower and going to bed with them)

I will never stay in this place again. We hated the terrible Wifi, the location, the room, the noise and the access to the the beach. -At arrival the room we reserved was not available, so they sent us to the very last room, which instead of the balcony with view to the pool, our windows and balcony faced a wall. -The the WIFI kept disconnecting every ten seconds and was basically useless. -They play loud music at the pool the whooole day and the people who have houses in the area drive in front on their loud ATVs and trucks. -The access to the beach is walking around 500m on the road without sidewalk or shadow and battling with cars and the end is just a mud. There the people also play music so you cant relax or read.

Fortunately, we were only there for one night. There is a 4 mile gravel road to get to the hotel.We had a superior room. The decor was very dated. The railing on the balcony was plagued with rust. The air conditioner worked well. The water pressure in the shower left much to be desired and the water temperature varied from hot to cold and back again all on its own. The matresses were like concrete slabs. The towels were tiny and felt like sandpaper. The shampoo was akin to dish soap. We were given a room far away from the restaurant and main entrance in a hotel that was practically empty. The breakfast buffet was nothing to write home about, but we have had worse. Definitely NOT worth the trouble or the money. There are many hotels on and around Jaco that are much better. Never again.

We were looking for an all inclusive ( I guess this doesn’t mean food and drinks!) When looking at photos make sure you look up HOTEL ARENAS don’t go to club that we did because it’s the nicer one. This hotel took the photos from the hotel down the street and used them as yours. Paid way more than booking another report. The only nice thing about the hotel was the pool. Drinks and bar food were ok. Do not eat on site for $35 USD because the foods a joke. Showers don’t work, bedding was hard as cardboard! Stay away from this place! I never write reviews and this is how bad this place is!! Key words FALSE ADVERTISING!

Great experience and very family friendly! We loved the breakfast buffet with monkeys 🤤 And at the exclusive beach we were lucky enough to experience baby turtles hatching and starting their journey to towards the ocean!

The entrance to the hotel was awful, they should advise the person to enter Pinta Leona which is a better street offered only after check out. |The pool bar does not have the menu visible has tv screens that are never on and the music is turn off too early. |At the desk a woman mention the pool closing at 3 on Sundays if that is true they should inform that. |From the parking lot theres only 2 entries to the hotel forcing people to take a long walk carrying luggage|The room had a lamp about to fall off hanging by one nail and the paint of the wall was peeling off. |Had coffee available only for day 1 , were in Costa Rica had to ask of they would do the favor of giving some bags of coffee for day 2.
