Central Pacific Coast Hotels

Being from Illinois I had forgotten what fresh fruit tasted like anymore. Costa Rica is absolutely "La Pura Vida" -(the pure life) from food, surroundings, tree houses and restaurants in the rain forest, free uncaputered nature with exotic animal species, people, LIFE!!!

This hotel was fabulous! Phenomenal hotel staff, loved William, very friendly and concerned about your stay. They offer complimentary classes such as planting a tree or learning how to make Costa Rican tortillas. We did the tortilla class and they took us back to the living quarters of the hotel staff, show us where they live and eat before the class. I was amazed as to how detailed and clean their quarters were. Much cleaner than my own house LOL! And there are over 100 hotel staff that live there. The class was interesting and one of our favorite experiences of the trip. The hotel lies on the side of a jungle mountain that connects to two beaches. One beach has strong waves and currents for the adults, the other is mild, perfect for children. Both are spectacular. Both beaches have a lifeguard and 24 security. Area around the hotel if full of jungle wildlife that never pester the guests but are close enough to enjoy. I will definitely return to this hotel!

We climbed Chirripo and then headed to the coast to relax and go fishing. We had stayed at the Parador several times in the past but got a great rate online this time and so we came back again. What a happy surprise to find out that we got upgraded to a suite! It was awesome and everything was perfect. Food, service, spa and amenities!

The location of the Copacabana is the best, right on the beach and easy to find. The reception staff is friendly, ready to help. The room was clean and as described. The food, excellent! The fun is at the bar and pools. This is a clothing optional hotel, the all nude pool is the best, then just lay out in the sun. Great music at the Bar. The staff was helpful in arranging my transport back to the airport, price very reasonable.

We stayed 4 days in Punta Leona then moved into Jaco for 3. I wished that we had stayed the whole time in Punta Leona. Beautiful, quiet and "CLEAN" that's what I enjoyed about the place. 2 separate beaches, 3 pools, 3 bars, 3 restaurants, grocery store (convienance) extra clean rest rooms and showers, butterfly exhibit, monkeys, toucans, macaws, iguanas, man it was great. Probably one of the best complimentary breakfasts that I've ever had. I read other reviews that things were too spread out. In my opinion, that's the beauty of the place. We parked the car once we got there and walked everywhere that we wanted to go. They have free shuttles to take you around if you don't want to walk. If it was tight and confined then I'm sure that people would complain about it being too crowded and not enough room. Lots to see and do. If you want the crowds then hop in your car and drive 15 minutes to Jaco and fight the parking and the noise. Thanks Punta Leona for a great time

Hotel/room is beautiful! Could not have been improved!

The hotel is beautiful and comfortable. Excellent location and a very good staff. My husband and I loved everything!

We had a wonderful experience at this hotel. The food was great and the room was well kept and very comfortable. The views were spectacular from every spot in the hotel including the pool area, dining area and room balcony. There was lots of wild life close by as well because of the remote setting. The only issue was limited space by the pool on the weekend days.
