Very clean and felt safe. The separate living space was perfect for our large multi family group with 12 kids to have their own space yet still be all together.

Generally quiet, even next to the highway. We were greeted by the owner's two teenage sons. Clearly managers in training. The kitchen beside the pool was well equipped for our breakfast of cold cereal. There is a hot plate and BBQ which we did not try out. Both beds were pushed against the walls. We were able to move the double bed away from the wall and use the side chair so both sides of the bed could have a bedside table of sorts. Towels are thick, soft.and absorbant. Shower is slow to heat but then warm.

I was very pleased with my stay at Casa Leona. I was there from November 9-14th 2024. It is about a 15 minute walk or so from the centre of Tamarindo up off the busy main road on a quiet neighbourhood side street the allows you to be in a beautiful green oasis! There were even some Howler Monkeys way up in trees while I was there. The main road to town has no sidewalk and you’ll be walking on the edge of the asphalt as vehicles go around you and your fellow visitors. The room amenities allow you to have meals in to save some money, the rooms are cozy with good AC, I was in a top floor deluxe unit which has a peaked roof the gives a more spacious feel, a large shared covered balcony to hang out on between activities or rain. There is a gazebo with couches to lounge in and a pool as well. Breakfast was excellent with a few choices from a set menu, from a hearty La Tica which is a local breakfast with fruit to lighter fair such as croissants. Most properties here have fences and locked gates and it’s the same at Casa Leona, plus there is a friendly night guard who watches the parking area. The friendly staff work diligently to keep the property clean and tidy. Just a reminder, some rooms have hot water and others do not so make sure to read the room descriptions carefully. I highly recommend Casa Leona for its location, peace and quiet, all the lush greenery that screens you from neighbouring properties, a good breakfast and overall ambiance!

The king room was a huge separate building and one of the comfiest beds ever. Tons of space. The pool was so refreshing, I saw tons of birds and iguana. The people were really friendly, and the kitchen had what you need to cook + some coffee in the morning. I appreciated that it was a little out of the way of the busy part of town, ~a 10 minute walk from the main stuff in town

    We had an amazing stay at this spacious bungalow! It had everything we needed for a comfortable and enjoyable visit. The place was quiet and spotless, with a huge bed and a fully equipped kitchen perfect for making breakfast. The location is ideal—just a few minutes’ drive from Tamarindo center and the beach, yet far enough to enjoy peaceful nights away from the crowds.

    My best decision was to stay at Hotel Boruca, the staff was always friendly and they welcomed us and helped us with a smile. The room was very clean and carefully decorated. The price is very good for the Tamarindo area and it's location worked very well for us, we gone to the beach, visit restaurants, we was only have to walk 200 meters. Definitely if I return to Tamarindo, I will return to this hotel.
