La Leona Eco Lodge

La Leona Eco Lodge

10/10 Excellent
"Excellent stay, property was right on the ocean, food was delicious all the staff was welcoming and helpful. Definitely come prior to nightfall as you need someone to come pick you up on an atv because there is no car access. I found myself in a precarious situation in the darkness of the jungle. If it wasn’t for a man named Johnathan and a couple other men who helped me contact the property (very spotty reception) I don’t know what I would have done. Waze said it was 1hr 15m but it was well over 2 hours to get there as you have to drive very slowly to maintain your vehicle (drops, Stoney path, small stream ) you don’t want to break down in the jungle, as there is no obvious help. Make sure you have cash or colones as you have to park your car on someone’s land. Thanks to a beautiful couple days. Love Costa Rica and the kindness of La gente. Pura Vida"

"House was exactly as advertised and had a great view. There was a berry tree in front of the house and every day two red Macaws would perch there followed by two toucans.

I hope she gets paid highly because she certainly deserves it! We also loved talking with the bartender, Diego who was a sweetie. One of the chefs, Randall also came over and took a picture of me and my husband without us having to ask. Everyone on staff clearly works hard to upkeep this lovely getaway. The food was delicious, the pool was refreshing, and we LOVED having access to the private beach!
