"La comida"

"This property is absolutely beautiful and located a short walk from the heart of town. The front desk is extremely helpful and arranging anything you might need including dining reservations and making recommendations for activities in the area. The rooms are beautiful and a view of the valley is breathtaking"

"Fantastic view and pretty good privacy, although wish the owners hadn't let their kids run all over the property. There is a short "nature trail" which is more like a little path that runs right behind the door to the house --- kind of annoying. It's not a great path and it takes away from privacy. In my mind this is a novelty property, not a luxury property. You can see the outside below through the slats in the floor, and the place comes with a can of Raid for any bugs you encounter. We actually had a tarantula in our bedroom upon check-in, which the staff was happy to come take care of. Bugs definitely get on the balcony, so you can't turn outside or hall lights on at night. But if you are ok with getting a stray little beetle out of the hot tub before you fill it, or sweeping a bug off the balcony, then no issues. Just be aware, you're in a rain forest. Think "super nice glamping" more than a luxury stay. They ask that you turn off the A/C if you are leaving for more than 10 mins -- that proved to be too hot, so we didn't completely comply. All that said, the house had the right amenities, nice kitchen, and was pretty comfortable overall. The staff leaves you alone unless you want them to clean the room ... all communication through WhatsApp so no one is knocking on the door at odd hours. It was super convenient to Santa Elena (cute nearby town) as well as Monteverde Cloud Forest. And you definitely cannot beat the view from this place."

"The property was very nice, the overall area is somewhat depressed. Tours that we booked in the area were good"

"I loved our stay. The only reason we gave the resort four stars instead of five is because the room simple but clean. The hotel is rustic, but if you want to see wildlife, there is nothing better. Troops of Howler monkeys fill the trees above. Birds are continually chattering and screeching to one another. Just sitting at the restaurant, you will see more animals than walking for hours at the national park The food at the restaurant was excellent. I particularly enjoyed their award-winning pizza. I would definitely go back again. Great value for the experience."

"We stayed in Bella Leona apartments that definitely need updates (broken blinds, leaking flush valves, old mirrors, etc). The apartment complex was outside (around 1/2 mile) and it wasn’t easy to communicate with the staff when we needed, so be aware of that if you’re thinking of booking this apartment. On the other hand, the resort is amazing, the staff is cordial and happy. It’s clean, the amenities are great and well maintained. The activities available are great (butterfly garden, guided hike and workout in the pool). It’s almost 2 hours away from the airport. It was easy to drive there, but make sure you enter in ‘Leona beach club and resort’ entrance because the GPS indicated a non-paved road and wasn’t fun at all. The food in the restaurants are good and not that expensive. They even have a grocery store in the resort with the same price range as the outside grocery stores. In this resort you will be in touch with nature and it’s amazing to wake up with the sound of birds, seeing the macaws, iguanas and raccoons. The beach is clean, no waves and warm water (we visited the hotel in April). Overall it was a great experience."
