Although the views of the Pacific are amazing, what makes this bluff-top hotel truly unique is its architectural fusion, incorporating elements as varied as tropical Victorian, Hellenistic and French colonial. The ultra-exclusive accommodations are located on the tiny headland of Punta Leona, perched high on a dramatic hillside at the end of a serpentine driveway just north of Playa Herradura.
Each room is arranged amid the tropical foliage of the terraced property, affording a singular sense of privacy and isolation. The room interiors are tastefully decorated with art and antiques, with windows looking onto spectacular views. There is also a French-influenced restaurant, several semi-private infinity pools, and a private 1km trail leading down the hillside to the beach. Folks from Jacó come here especially for a romantic dinner or sunset happy hour (4pm to 5pm daily). The lush views from the hotel's Greek-style amphitheater are simply jaw-dropping.
