Bed and pillows were bad. The room is spacious but badly arrange. TV of like 29" it was imposible to even read the subtitles and sound was the wors. It was not a luxury payment but it looks like a luxury hostel not an Hotel in a Premium club.

The hotel is next to a mini market and POPs ice cream store. It also walking distance from playas mantas. The pool is large and nice. The restaurant is mediocre at best. Unfortunately, there are no other options for food, other than the hotel restaurant and maybe one more place. We had to drive to the main road in order to get other restaurant choices.

When we got there our room key would not unlock the door. They had to come and put a battery in to get auto lock to work with our card. The hotel staff was not all that helpful. The room had poor lighting and not enough towels. Our room was never cleaned and we were never given fresh towels. We had no hot water to speak of. It was like warm more on cold side. The pool was nice but the swim up bar was never open. They do not exchange currency so make sure you have colones. The restaurant was ok and food was decent but be prepared to wait. Overall very overpriced for what you get.

The pool area was great, but you cannot access Playa Blanca, so its name is misleading, the beach is far away an you have to pay 7000 colones for parking, so this is a hotel to stay at the pool but a beach one

We have stayed at Punta Leona numerous times but now they have shut off access to playa blanco as well as to the pools and restaurants. The continental breakfast for Arenas is good but used to be a lot better. It cost us $100 extra per day to have access to the beach and lunch at the club. We also had open exposed wires under our sink in the bathroom which was a little worrisome especially for electrocution hazards.
