Delicious Dining Experience

During my stay, I had the pleasure of dining in the hotel's restaurant every night. Each meal was really good, with fresh ingredients and great flavors. The waiters were attentive and made sure we had everything we needed to enjoy our meals. The breakfast options were excellent, with everything from traditional Costa Rican dishes to pancakes made fresh upon order. I highly recommend trying the Dijon chicken and mashed potatoes—it was fantastic!

Very nice Pools and Relaxation

The hotel features three gorgeous pools that you can enjoy at any time of the day. I spent hours relaxing by the pool, and the atmosphere was serene and inviting. The illuminated pools at night were particularly stunning. It was a fantastic way to unwind after a day of exploring, and the staff even delivered food and drinks right to us at the pool. I loved every moment!

Comfortable and Spacey Rooms

My room was exceptionally clean and spacious, offering all the comforts I needed. The large en-suite bathroom was a plus, and I appreciated having a great shower. I also loved that the hotel puts special attention to cleanliness, and it truly shows. The air conditioning worked perfectly, making my stay very comfortable despite the warm weather outside.

Family-Friendly Atmosphere

As a family, we found the amenities for our kids to be fantastic. The hotel is very family-friendly, with a welcoming environment. There were areas designated for kids to play, and the staff took great care in making sure that we all felt comfortable. Our children absolutely loved the food at breakfast as well. It was a wonderful experience for all of us, and we felt very well taken care of.

The hotel offers a clean and spacious environment with comfortable accommodations, making it ideal for relaxation. The pools are enjoyable, and the service from the staff is outstanding. However, the water pressure in the room could be better, and the music playlist at the pool gets repetitive. Overall, the value for money is excellent, especially considering the included breakfasts.

We stumbled upon this charming hotel just south of Playa Carrillo, and it was a much-needed escape from the hustle and bustle of nearby Samara. The grounds were beautiful, and we enjoyed the large pool and easy access to the gorgeous beach. The dining prices were fantastic, and the staff was genuinely helpful. However, we did experience some issues with bugs in the room, which took away from the overall comfort.

I had a wonderful stay at this boutique hotel, thanks to its stunning gardens and two nice pools that made for a relaxing atmosphere. The staff provided truly remarkable service throughout my stay, making me feel very welcomed. However, the hotel's location was a bit of a letdown as it wasn’t within walking distance to the beach, which I had hoped for. The dining options for breakfast could have also been better with a wider selection.

Hotel Leyenda exceeded our expectations with its stunning grounds, beautiful rooms, and top-notch service. The restaurant blew us away with delicious food and great presentation. We loved the shuttle service to Playa Carrillo, which is just a few minutes away, making it easy to enjoy one of Costa Rica's finest beaches. The only downside was that the hotel is a bit removed from Samara town, but the reliable local taxi service helped us explore the area without any difficulties.
