I think one would have to be very picky or be a hard to please person to not feel comfortable in this hotel. The building does not look abandoned like the previous reviewer mentions, the pool was cristal clear and with a perfect temperarue. Staff is friendly and curteous and the food is downright delicious and with fair prices. We... More

Upon arriving at this establishment I was deeply disappointed,it looks like an abandoned building from the front, the rooms are ok, but spacious and clean, the pool is Hirt on lounge chairs and not too clean(dead leaves on bottom lots floating and bottom of pools feels a little slimy), the restaurant offers good food and is reasonably priced, the staff...

Please bear in mind we were a family of 2 adults and 1 baby 20 month and we had a car rented for the whole stay. Among the other places of the Pacific Ocean (Tamarindo/Conchal/Manuel Antonio) we believe this was the best beach for the relaxed family holiday. The hotel was also one of the best we stayed at in...

Large rooms, excellent service, and great food, particularly dinner. Hotel has transfer to local beach and while at the beach you can order drinks and food.

Due to regulations that don't allow hotels/home son the beach the Hotel sits on a hilltop about a 3... More

We stayed in Leyenda for 2 nights. It was very nice and quite. We went while it was a slow season for them. The hotel was clean and they have good service. I love the food in their restaurant, everything we order was delicious. One thing I don't like about the hotel is that, they were advertising about the massage,... More

We have stayed at 2 other very nice hotels in Costa Rica but this is our favorite. The service and friendliness of all the staff was outstanding. We had our small grandchildren along and it made it so convenient to eat all of our meals at the on-site restaurant. The food was excellent. Breakfast was included in the room price.... More

We did not stay at this hotel, but the restaurant is the best. The selection, presentation, service, price, was hands down the best. We ate here 18 of us over 3 times ea. and everyone agreed we should have gone here even more.

We had a wonderful 4 night stay at Hotel Leyenda in Playa Carillo. The hotel pool area is lovely, as is the restaurant (food was delicious at every meal!). Nice for families as there's a play ground right by the restaurant, so that impatient children can keep busy while you have a glass of wine and adult conversation. Good for... More
