Overall, we had a good time at Hotel Punta Leona. The location is beautiful, surrounded by nature and close to some great beaches, making it a fantastic spot for relaxation. The rooms, however, were a bit small and in need of some updates, and our experience with the service had its ups and downs. The dining was enjoyable with fun animal interactions, but there were moments when the food could have been better. Still, the overall vibe of the place made for a memorable vacation.

My stay at the resort was quite a mix of experiences. The breathtaking views and the warm, welcoming staff made the trip memorable. However, the room was disappointingly small and lacked luxury, which didn't quite match the resort's overall vibe. The beach nearby was stunning, and while the dining options were decent, they could improve. Overall, it was worthwhile for the picturesque scenery and the friendly atmosphere despite some shortcomings.

I had mixed feelings about my stay at the hotel. While the beach access and beautiful surroundings were standout features, the overall experience was marred by poor service and an uncomfortable room. The dining options were also underwhelming, which impacted my enjoyment of the stay. It's close to nature and great for beach lovers, but be prepared for some inconveniences and limited service.

Rooms

Our room felt quite musty and was located far from the beach, which was inconvenient. It seemed cramped for three people, and the bathroom needed updating.

My stay at Punta Leona was incredibly relaxing, filled with gorgeous wildlife and two beautiful beaches. The rooms were comfortable, though a bit dated, and the dining options left something to be desired. The service was friendly and helpful, but the dinner menu could use a serious upgrade. Overall, it's a great getaway if you're after nature and tranquility, just be prepared for some bumps along the way.

Rooms

Punta Leona is beautifully situated next to stunning beaches, surrounded by lush tropical foliage and wildlife. It feels like you're living in a jungle paradise. I would rate the location a perfect 10!

While breakfast was quite nice with fresh fruit and an omelette station, I found the dinner options inadequate and often lukewarm. I would rate dining a 5 due to the lack of variety and freshness.

The resort has a beautiful and large layout with easy access to the beach, making it great for family-friendly vacations. The pool area is impressive, one of the best I've seen, and the wildlife around adds to the charm. However, the dining options can be quite limited and the rooms lack some luxury, which was a bit disappointing. Getting around the resort without a car can be inconvenient, and the all-inclusive policy was quite restrictive.

Rooms

The rooms were clean but small and seemed a bit dated. There was little space for luggage, and the bathroom could use some upgrades.
Service

The staff was pleasant and tried their best to be helpful, though there were instances where communication was a challenge.
Location

The location was fantastic with a short drive to beautiful beaches like Playa Blanca, but it's important to have a car to navigate around.
Dining
5.0
The food options were limited, and sometimes it was not served warm, leading me to choose off-site dining by the third day.
Facilities
8.0
The pool facilities were remarkable, with a huge main pool and plenty of sunbeds, but it was a hassle to get towels from a different part of the resort.
