Exquisite location, mediocre experience.
La Leona is situated on a magnificent piece of land, on the edge of the Corcovado and on the shores of the pacific ocean. It was not really possible to swim when we were there (in June), because of the surging currents and crashing waves, but you could take a refreshing dip in the shallows. Unfortunately we had signed up for a full day private guided tour of the Corcovado, at a cost of 90$ per person (we were two), which only led us on a trail along the edge of the rainforest and back, meaning that we did not really get to experience the main thing that we travelled there to experience. It was a nice hike, with the beach as a beautiful backdrop, but we feel as if we fell for false advertisement. It should not have been presented as a tour of the Corcovado. For that we would hve had to book a hike to Sirena instead, with a night there, and another hike from there to Los Patos, which goes straight through the heart of the rainforest. This is what we would have done if we had known how the advertised Corcovado tour really was. All in all our 3-day stay at La Leona became somewhat of a disappointment, since it was the most expensive part of our 3-week journey through Costa Rica, and the part which failed the most to reach our expectations. We also felt that there was an incessant pressure to buy meals and sign up for tours, which made it hard to stay at ease, and the quality of the food was mediocre, with tiny servings. A one-night stay there would have been better.
