Luxurious Family-Friendly, 3BR Condo With Pool Less Than 5 Min Walk To The Beach

An hour drive away from San Jose and merely 15 min drive from Jaco town and beach, Punta Leona Hotel & Club is a coveted destination for people seeking a perfect vacation. Golden Reef Condominium is located within the club, has its own private pool, and direct access to the renown-among-the-locals, secluded, and beautiful white sand beach called Playa Blanca. This beach is surrounded by a national wildlife reserve; therefore, you will definitely come across local wildlife such as white faced capuchin monkeys, coatimundis, toucans, and scarlet macaws. Offering not only great waves but also calm, kid-friendly waters, this beach is perfectly fitting for people of all ages.

Our condo overlooks the Pacific yet is only less than a 5 min walk away from it! It has three bedrooms, two of which are equipped with both queen and twin sized beds and the master, a king-sized. Two rooms have private bathrooms. The master room's bathroom also has a jacuzzi to use after a productive day of enjoying the beautiful surroundings. All bedrooms and the living room have a television. The kitchen is fully equipped with necessary appliances and includes a marble-top island. Furthermore, the condo has a washer/dryer unit and a central A/C system for added comfort. Last but not least, you can view sunsets right from the terrace while you enjoy a great meal or lie on the hammock and read a book.

Please note that as we are a private property within the Punta Leona Resort, we are not associated with the hotel and therefore do not provide access to the resort itself.

Winter 2024 getaway
The views were fantastic from the balcony. The entire property was well maintained and the community pool was very enjoyable. The folks on site were very friendly and helpful. Then unit was clean and comfortable. The host was fantastic and helped us even after the stay was over.

Girls Week Away
Our week turned out to be one of the best at this location. Communication was quick and easy. There were several red flags when we arrived: broken sliding door lock, remote for LR A/C was broken, dishwasher wasn’t working and ALL were addressed within three days. We were grateful for the attention. Thank you, Lee, for being attentive and making us feel safe. We'd love to come back again.

Super accommodating, great stay!
Property is as described - wonderful, and owner is very accommodating. We had no major issues. Beach is nearby and is, as others have described down a significant hill, which can be an issue for the elderly. Be advised! If you want to see other parts of CR, consider that travel is not exactly convenient and many outings need to be pre-arranged [pricing, tickets and availability vary]. Plan accordingly. We had a lovely stay.

Beautiful beach location
My family loved this house! Playa Blanca is an amazing beach and just short 5 min walk. The street down to the beach is steep but a little exercise is always good. We saw toucans and monkeys between the house and the beach. The sand on the beach is so soft and the waves were just the right size to have fun and feel safe. We had some success catching small fish from the beach in the mornings. The beach can get crowded on weekends, so get there early to grab a great spot. The views from the balcony were great. We had an amazing Lightning show one night that we’ll never forget. The kids loved the community pool and the local iguanas that came by to eat flower petals. Jaco is about 30 minutes away and was a fun town to shop and eat. We felt safe there. Every room in the house had AC and we loved relaxing in the kitchen and family room. The kitchen supplies were limited, but we were able cook any meal we wanted. The dish washer was also broken, but we’re used to cleaning dishes on vacations so no big deal. Overall, we loved it and enjoyed our stay.

Amazing stay!
Beautiful property in an absolutely stunning location. Finding the gated entrance was easy. Our host provided us with a code to show to the guard, and the guard gave us better directions to where we were going. From there it’s about a 15 minute drive in through oftentimes steep, narrow, and very winding cobblestone roads. The first time through was rather intimidating, especially since we arrived on a Saturday night and there was a ton of foot traffic of locals leaving the public Playa Mantas. Knowing a little Spanish helps as most of the guards spoke little or no English. The condo itself was lovely. Located on the 2nd floor. There are elevators if you’re not up for stairs. We brought my parents and our 2 young children and there was plenty of room and bathrooms for everyone. Views from the balcony were amazing! I was concerned that the balcony railing was high enough for my 1 year old to slide under, so had to watch him like a hawk while out there. Playa Blanca is a private beach controlled by the Punta Leona hotel. We were not allowed to enter using the main entrance. Rather, we had to travel about 200ft further down the road and use a secondary entrance. You can apparently purchase wristbands at the office to be able to use the hotel beach entrance/amenities. As far as we could tell, we were able to use the entire beach, but we stuck close to that entrance. The sand is soft white, and the waves were fun but gentle enough that I felt 100% safe with my 5 year old in with me. The water was very clear! We brought our own snorkeling gear and we had a blast discovering schools of colorful fish, and sea urchin on the undersea rocks. Much of our time was spent at the condo pool. Absolutely gorgeous with a slide and little cave. Views from here are also amazing. Usually empty, but anyone who did show up was very friendly. Jaco is close, and there is at least one restaurant, a small store, and ice cream shop on the gated grounds. I wouldn’t say walking distance, mostly because I wouldn’t feel safe walking on those blind curves with cars coming up. Renting a golf-cart is an option for $40-$60 a day (depends on who you get). We did use this option on beach days as we weren’t about to trek back up to super steep hill with beach gear and kids in tow. Overall an unforgettable experience! We will absolutely be back soon! Pura vida!

Roaches, window that didn’t close, billing issues
Unfortunately we do not recommend this condo. I hesitate to send a bad review because we normally don’t like to complain however we had multiple issues from billing being incorrect for months and top of the list was drain Roaches in the kitchen sink & also bathroom bugs. When we asked the host to address the roaches/bugs a woman showed up and handed us a can of raid; not the appropriate fix. No one ever came to work on the stuck open bathroom window (allowing bugs!). There was no follow up to see how things were going. Supplies are minimal (one garbage bag), and furniture is pretty beat up. Not as shown in photos. The host tried to compensate for billing issues but billed more per night than originally agreed to in original agreement. Overall a horrible experience.

Nice place for relaxing! Just everything so far away.
Nice and clean propery but a few issues, diswasher broken, fridge liquing, tv not working, a loud noise coming from outside thru the backs rooms. So anoying for the young adults. They were complining about it. Other than that so peaceful as I expected morning time. People working in the building, they are super nice people to every costumer, I wish it happen in any place we are at visitting!😉👍🏼
