Hotel Arenas en Punta Leona

100% recommended considering the price-to-service ratio. Comfortable and pleasant rooms, excellent food, and exceptional reception service. The only drawback is the distance from the beach, but overall, it wasn't necessary.

Rooms are tired & basic One main room light, unable to turn off from bed. Service in the restaurant was appalling, I'd say lack of service, took nearly an hour for drinks to arrive & same for food. Not checked on by server's, until I complained.

Sometimes the pictures oversell a place, and sometimes they don’t do it justice. The latter is the case with this beautiful yet reasonable hotel. Rooms were in perfect order and nicely decorated. The pool is pristine and engaging. The staff is excellent. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here.

The hotel is pretty nice, desk front service very friendly. Breakfast is very vary and you have different choices to choose from. I do think it will be nice to do more activities , in the pool, with the kids, maybe at night.

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 while the food wasn't amazing it wasn't bad either and there was a good selection of dishes and the dining service was great. $300 per night for the room is not worth it but $300 for the room with the meals, which included adult drinks, is a good enough value.

It's a little hard to get to because the road well part of the road is the traditional Costa Rican dirt road. The pool was huge and awesome. Very clean. We heard that the beach is nice in a short walk away but we didn't end up going there because we were told there's no waves there. We wanted to surf so we went to Hermosa Beach which is about 30 minutes away. Nowhere did it say that the breakfast came with the room but it did. And it wasn't a continental breakfast it was a full-on awesome meal.

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.

After an 8 hour journey to this hotel due to weather/ landslides/ cancelled trips to National parks, and no holiday Rep (informed prior to travelling tour rep would be available- discovered on departure home not offered if tour group is too small ) . I especially wanted to give a shout out to Rodriquez (bar staff) for his warm welcome, and patience in explaining everything in English, the entertainment was excellent and inspired me to learn salsa. Also David, on reception who offered reassurance during a very stressful situation, and driver who took us to the next hotel, thankyou for spotting wildlife along the journey and making what should have been a holiday of a lifetime memorable. ||Although the stay at the hotel was short- a couple of nights in an apartment, it was spacious , clean, with a spectacular pool. Enjoyed the food, and only a short walk to the beach where we saw monkeys for the first time! . Met a Costa Rican family staying at the hotel who were the loveliest, friendliest people. Would love to return. Pura Vida!
