8/10 Very good

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.

The walk in was easy and we got to ride the luggage cart out. Very isolated with every meal top notch. The manager was very attentive and every thing was spotlessly clean.

I just finished my third stay at La Leona Eco Lodge. The location, right next to the sea, and La Leona entrance to Corcovado National Park is utterly captivating! The cabinas are immaculate and lovely. The staff are hardworking, helpful and kind. Great food, and spectacular location, make La Leona the ultimate tropical paradise!

The staff and guides were awesome. Staff go out of their way to make your stay amazing. The setting is fabulous and off the beaten track from the other touristy areas in the country. The food was very good. Surrounded by wildlife.

We spent three memorable days here. I would definitely recommend this for those who don't mind missing a few comforts of home (at night there is no electricity in the cabins, the bathrooms are outdoors, you don't get a choice of what to eat). We knew basically what to expect so had a great time. The staff go out of their way to make people feel comfortable and taken care of. My only suggestions to the owners would be 1) offer a few dining options; 2) perhaps give everyone a flashlight or solar lamp for nighttime (there are candles but those burn out quickly); 3) maintain the property's trails a bit better, since the rainforest is spectacular but the trails aren't clearly marked or maintained. There is a beautiful lagoon next to the property that was great for swimming on the hot afternoons, and the proximity to Corcovado Park can't be beat. The grounds are lovely with hammocks, a bar/juice bar open all day, and awesome ocean views.

Loved the tent ocean view “cabin”. It was wonderful to hear and see the surf rolling in. The place was super clean and the staff awesome. Phillippe was an excellent host, always warm and welcoming!! We had some problems transporting our luggage ahead of us to Drake Bay and they were more than helpful in solving our problems. The meals were good and portions more than enough. Can’t think of a negative thing to say. Great place to stay!

Nature pure
Great place to stay directly at the border of Corcovado NP. A bit simple tented lodge, but great people and very helpful. Full board included, as no other opportunities around. No electricity or hot water, but nature everywhere. Wifi and charging opportunities in the main building.

If you appreciate nature,want to be immersed in it, this is your stay. The chef was so sweet,we could not have had a nicer time. Way more than we ever expected. Somewhat of a glancing experience in the mist divine setting.

La Leona is am amazing space just off the beach, nestled into the jungle, totally cut off from the rest of the world as there is no cell signal and no wifi. We loved it, and the two guys running it while we were there were fab. Food was tasty (although certainly not cheap, and there are no other options), and they helped us organise a guided tour into Corcovado which we would definitely recommend (going with a guide also helps support the local economy on the peninsula which has been really suffering with COVID, but even without that it was totally worthwhile). It does take some getting used to sleeping so close to the crashing waves of the pacific, but we had a wonderful time.

Great Experience
La Leona Eco Lodge is difficult to get to, but it's well worth the effort. The cliffside ocean view is stunning and the area is buzzing with wildlife: four species of monkeys, macaws, toucans and dart frogs. The tents have no electricity, but you are able to charge devices in the dining area. Highly recommend 4x4 due to water crossings.

Peaceful Paradise
LaLeona is an amazing place to stay for the peace and adventure. The people working there are friendly and so helpful. The journey there is part of the appeal for the adventurous persons. Bring your things in a backpack and leave heavy luggage at the office. Bring Benadryl, there are bugs that bite and cause itching in the jungle and on the beach - and comfortable hiking shoes-plenty of socks and extra shirts. Wear light colored clothes so you can see the very small bugs and just brush them off before they have a chance to bite you. The bugs seem to be attracted to some people and not others - quite random. Despite the bugs - the place is truly magical. I highly recommend it if you enjoy hiking and adventure. Not for the HM crowd. 😊 **No stores, or medical within hours.

Finger?
Overall amazing place to stay, but a few notes 1. Bring lots if snacks, I repeat they do not have snacks 2. The food thay they do have is seriously lacking. If I am paying 25 bucks a plate, it better be a nice meal. I'm all down for the everyone gets the same thing everynight. But this stuff was inedible on occasion. Wayyyy too much salt, and I was not the only person saying this. One night both me and my partner got really sick. Like explosive, it didnt help that we did the night hike right after dinner either. Not pretty. If its lasanga night, I'd pass if I were you. 3. Don't do the rainforest hike, its just the same trail you can walk by yourself and the time of day they schedule it you wont see any wildlife 4. What's with the finger?
