Everything. The hotel is physically beautiful -- an exotic, tropical Oasis of serenity and calm. The individual rooms facing a shimmering pool were so well appointed. It also meant I didn't have to listen to the TV or conversations in the room next door! The bed was extremely comfortable and the waterfall shower soothing. They provided both beach and swimming pool towels. The staff could not be more helpful -- they arranged tours and even escorted me to the location, they arranged a most wonderful massage in my room, and made dinner recommendations every night.

Our experience at the Paradise Bay Hotel was truly exceptional. The room exceeded our expectations, as it was immaculately clean, well-organized, and equipped with everything we needed. The bed provided an exceptional level of comfort, ensuring a restful sleep. Being a new hotel, everything was in pristine condition, which added to our overall satisfaction. The staff members were incredibly friendly and accommodating, particularly the kind-hearted front desk lady who assisted us. The hotel's restaurant was a highlight of our stay, offering an amazing dining experience. We opted for their surf and turf special, which was simply spectacular. Our compliments go to the talented chef who prepared such delectable dishes. Furthermore, our server was outstanding, delighting us with his skillfully crafted margaritas. Breakfast, which was included, proved to be equally delicious, accompanied by excellent service. Discovering this hidden gem made us immensely happy, and we only wish we could extend our stay. It was an absolutely perfect experience overall.

Very accommodating to families, our kids loved the bunk beds! Their breakfast is delicious and came with the room price. The beds were extremely comfortable! the bedding is light, I could have used a bit heavier of a blanket but that is because I set the room to a cold temp. The location is nice, there’s 3 mini grocery stores, a soda called El Angel that has very good food at a very reasonable price. There is also a pizza parlor and hamburger spot that came highly recommended. The staff was top notch, so friendly and accommodating. We a re a big bunch, 4 adults and 4 kids and everyone enjoyed the stay equally! Thank you Naoz hotel for your Pura Vida hospitality!

    We’ve stayed in Punta Leona before and we were so impressed we went back. The room was spotless. Bathroom impeccable. Gardens we’re well kept and clean. Breakfast was fabulous. Restaurants had great food for lunch and dinner. Kids had a blast!!! Pools were all super clean. The beach, Playa Blanca, was fantastic. We saw soooo many animals: toucans, raccoon, iguanas, a sloth!!!!, red macaws, the butterfly farm, armadillo!!!! Staff everywhere were extremely helpful polite and friendly. We checked out feeling relaxed and de- stressed.

    The view was absolutely stunning! We visited two restaurants, "La Galeria" and "La Fragata". The latter boasted an incredible sea view that was truly breathtaking, and the food at both establishments was outstanding. The staff was all very friendly, and it was a nice touch that they offered complimentary transportation to and from "Espadilla Beach". One area for improvement would be the early closure of the family pool at 8 PM, which seems a bit too early.

    We just loved this park.

    We just loved this park. In a little more than a ½ day we walked all the trails except the closed one. We stopped for an hour in the café -- which is enclosed in a cage to prevent the animals from coming in! That was the first time I had a drink in a cage. The trails are great and we saw lots of wildlife on our own, including a toucan and a sloth (only saw it on our way out!). The beaches are beautiful too. The only issue is parking. I can't tell what's official and what isn't, and at the hotel they warn you your car can be damaged if you just try to park wherever rather than in their lots. We parked somewhere and paid (talked him down) but I'm not sure it was official. No issues with our car though. Highly recommend this park!

    If you like cooler temperatures, rainy & windy mountains in remote Costa Rica then this is for you. Its a unique experience to be that high up above sea level and theres plenty to do outside between coffee tours, ziplines & hikes. But in terms of the town itself, theres not a lot going on and its expensive but I guess thats what you pay for tranquility & remoteness. And if you're driving up there you better have a 4x4 or AWD vehicle because the majority of the roads up here are unpaved & windy AF. Spots to check out that made our trip: Don Juan Coffee Farm, the Butterfly Sanctuary, El Tigre Waterfalls, Kinkajou Night walk, 100% Aventura Ziplines for the longest Zipline in Latin America & lastly tree climbing at Finca Modelo. If you want to try authentic Costa Rican food (because hello why not!) skip out on the expensive restaurants and go to Pizzeria 3R y el Sazón de Mary - best part is that they're open late. Food was bomb! Overall, I wouldn't spend more than 2.5 days up here.

    I go there to do dental work at Crystal Dental, as their prices are 2-3 times cheaper than in the USA and the quality is better, they speak English and have German equipment. I do not care about touristy stuff, I did it on my first visit many years ago. You can take buses for daytrips. Tours with agencies are very expensive and geared for young athletic people. I wish there was a sightseeing tour for the whole day on a bus to take pictures without any hiking or horse-riding.

    Quepos itself is a little rough, but Manuel Antonio is a gem. Be wary of all the hustlers on the beach. Would have liked to go fishing but the prices for charters were steep. Great eateries. I forgot the name but the seafood restaurant before the bridge into town was excellent.

    This is basically a cruse ship harbor and not much to do in low season. A few bars and stores open. A lot of tour is not given due to no crusie ship arriving in this time of the year. Also, extreme weather resultet in that most tours from Puntarenas was cancelled. If you are planning a vaccation, you should choose another city such as Jaco or Uvita. Very easy to take a 2-3 hour bus shuttle from San Jose, terminal 7-10 for a few dollars.

    Puerto Jiménez served as a rest-over before going to, and when coming from a trip to Corcovado Nat'l Park. We were able to take and ride bikes from the hotel to restaurants and to look around (the walkway to the pier was torn up so we had to go the long way around and the bikes came in super handy). The staff was friendly and could answer all our questions.

    There were people from all parts of the world in one little town. It is worth exploring the surrounding areas, because the actual town of Montezuma is rather small. There are different dining and lodging options for all tastes and budgets. The town/beach is at the bottom of a very steep hill, and getting up and down could be a challenge for walkers.
