La Leona Eco Lodge

Our stay was beyond our expectations! The staff was kind and knowledgeable. The property was absolutely stunning. Our bungalow was perfect, clean and comfortable. We truly enjoyed being disconnected from the outside world and amercing ourselves in nature. The hiking trails, animals and beautiful ocean was truly a gift. Thank you to Joel, Olga and Henah! We will be back!

Very difficult to get to - hour and a half of bumpy roads to Carate, then a 3.5k hike. The logistics were not well communicated, but worked out fine. Hot (mid-April visit). The grounds are pretty special with spider monkeys frolicking in the trees right above the tents and ocean waves supplying 24-7 white noise. The guided hike into the National Park was underwhelming - the wildlife was superb, but you only skirt the periphery of the park and don't get to really explore the old growth.

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
