We would appreciate a bit more of shelf space or maybe a bigger night stand inside the tent. Other than that, this is an amazing place.

The staff was super kind and helpful. Food was amazing! This place is paradise. Note that it is not recommended to swim in the beach but it is super refreshing to take a dip after hiking around.

It is super humid at la leona, make sure to bring a clean shirt or two. It is a long trip, to get there and you need to be fit for it, but its worth it

Amazing experience, seen so many animals and birds. The staff is amazing and the bed are comfortable

The heat was difficult to cope with at times and cold showers were appreciated.

Isolated location was wonderful. There was so much wildlife.including scarlet macaws. Staff were very warm and welcoming. Food was good although there was no choice.

The lack of choice for the food. For example; I would have preferred a buffet for the breakfast, to be able to chose what I wanted to eat. And same for other meals. To have a choice between 2 or 3 different meals. That the conditions of access were earlier mentioned. We received an e-mail 1 day before, and learnt that we were forced to take a taxi because no bus were possible for our days.

The tours, night and day; with a guide were really amazing. We saw so many nice animals and enjoyed a lot the nature.

Nothing, only point would be that for lunch & dinner they should mention that you can get a refill. We didnt know and left the table still hungry, for which the food is too expensive.

Amazing location at the entrance to Corcavado park. Wonderful friendly staff who were very attentive and welcoming. Tent cabins have candles for light and our room had a private outdoor bathroom. Unique experience near one of the most biodiverse parks on the planet.

The location was stunning. We had the place to ourselves. The staff couldn't have been more helpful and accomadating. Thank you to Frank for the birthday celebrations 🍾. The food was very good and the chef catered for our needs. We asked to move accomadation given they were quite this wasn't a problem. The walk in the national park with the guid was excellent. He was knowlegable and went out if his way to show us things.

Nothing - but if you need a drive-up hotel, electricity in your rooms and a wide menu, don't come.

Unique location, lovely beachfront garden, hospitable staff, good food,

Our third stay at La Leona, can’t beat the location and the staff is awesome. This visit we stayed at La Leona before our three day hiking trip to Sirena field station. Staff is super friendly and helpful, food is delicious, beds are comfortable, and lots of scarlet macaws. One of our favorite places to stay in Costa Rica!

In the evening they closed too early the dining- and stayingroom.

That is a fantastic place, really special. You see a lots of animals around the lodge.

There was nothing that we didn’t like, but there are things that visitors need to be aware of. First, this is quite a difficult place to get to if you are elderly or have mobility issues. It cannot be made completely disabled friendly because of the nature of the location. We had no problems as we were both young and relatively fit, but you should bear that in mind. Also, visually inspect your clothes and shoes in the morning for creepy crawlies….

The place is an absolutely amazing location in the middle of nowhere with beautiful views, fresh air, abundant wildlife and absolutely fantastic staff. Are you wake up each morning to the sound of the Sea and the birds (and various other creatures) and feel completely refreshed. The bar staff are excellent and their smoothies and cocktails are outstanding. The food is healthy and plentiful. There are different types of cabins that you can stay in, each has the benefits. I recommend you spend a couple of nights in one of the monkey cabins on the hillside (which are quieter as they are further from the sea and a little cooler from being on the hill) and some nights in an ocean cabin (where the volume on the sea has been turned up, but they are nearer the main lodge buildings where you eat and drink etc). most people passing through we’re staying for two or three nights, and they all agreed that they should’ve stayed for longer. I recommend at least a week, as much as 10 days. I was travelling with my nine-year-old daughter, she was completely safe all the time and had a fabulous time playing in the cool water of a stream nearby. We went on some hikes into the jungle nearby, but frankly, so much wildlife introduces itself to you, that you can sit around the lodge and see all sorts of animals big and small without having to go very far!

just a hint for those who are preparing a trip there: the sound of widlife and sea waves could be really loud, so maybe take some ear buds with you. ask for blankets because it could get quite chilly during the night, though super hot during the day. I was not able to sleep the first night since I got so cold.

THIS IS A PARADISE - the one and only eco lodge right before the Corcovado national park entrance directly at the beach. this means, you save the 4 km walk from carate to enter the NP trail, you can always go down to the beach and spend sunny beach time, you will fall asleep and wake up at sea waves, birds churning. there are hanging beds everywhere to just relax and read a book. Well you will not have high-end luxury facilities, but comfort, eco-friendly, minimalistic stuff to enjoy your vacation just right. Staff is super nice, fun and helpful. they prepared us delicious food and drinks .- they are very well organized and managed, which is very impressive. you felt like this place could be short of anything at anytime, but no, you will always get supplied and hlep. there is always water, juice, coffe and tea available. We also booked our tours directly with the lodge, everything worked fine. we will miss it here

We had a great time at La Leona Lodge. Felipe is a great helpful Organizer and also the complete staff make a great job. The Food was very delicious. Also the staff at the office in Puerto Jimenez is very friendly and make everything for the guests.

Stayed in November 2022

Nothing really, just be aware that there is a 3.5km walk from Carate, and the street from Puerto Jimenez to Carate is pretty rough, therefore takes with private care min 1.5h or with the little bus min 2.5h.

Very nice setting directly on the beach, very friendly staff, loved the variety in meals, relaxing sound with the waves, private outdoor showers, easy arrangements for guided trips at day or at night, great to encounter the service of bringing our luggage from Carate to the lodge as it is a 3.5km walk on the beach. Good starting point to go into Corcovado NP.

After we booked and were on our way, we were sent an email to say we would have to hike up to three and a half kilometres along the beech to reach the property. This was not made clear at the time of booking. I contacted the property to say that it was simply not acceptable that I, at 71, and my wife, at 69, should be expected to hike in high temperatures and humidity to reach the property and that this information should be right upfront when booking. I later discovered it hidden away in a dropdown menu on the booking site. This also indicated that a pickup could be arranged 3 days in advance, which wasn't the case with our booking. I contacted the property and Booking.com. The property said it was a problem I would have to take up with Booking.com. Booking.com said I would have to take it up with the property.

Food was a bit bland. The value for money is not so good.

Location and the staff were very good

Stayed in January 2023

Location is heavily overpriced. There are no facilities around to buy food, so you must take this restaurant. Sleeping is very tough. Hot, noisy...etc.Price for massage, tours also overpriced.

Staff is very kind.
