Wonderful guides/staff, beautiful ride and well cared for horses. The staff is amazing! When you go on vacation as much as my wife and I do, you always prepare for something to not go as planned. We couldn’t wait for this ride. The horses are well kept and gentle. The ride was beautiful but my dismount from the horse was less than graceful. Ya’ll, I’m from Texas and grew up on a ranch riding horses and have had my fair share of accidents. I only say this to show that no matter what your experience level is, around horses, accidents can and will happen. I was wearing tennis shoes instead of boots and I have an abnormally wide foot. My right foot got stuck in the stirrup and when I reached down to pull the stirrup off of my shoe, I fell off the horse and dislocated my shoulder. What happened next was nothing short of amazing. One of the guides, Rodrigo, immediately moved the horses away from me, and would not let anyone move me until I was checked out. They contacted a private clinic and set up an emergency appointment and then one of the staff members, Jorge, drove my wife and I to the clinic and the doctor was waiting for me upon arrival. Jorge waited with my wife while I received expert care from the attending doctor. Once I was released, Jorge, a staff member from Vista Los Suenos horseback riding took us back to our house. The whole time, from the time we arrived, during my trip to the doctor, and the trip home they took great care of us! They treated us like family! Rodrigo, Jorge, THANK YOU! if you ever come to the states we only hope you will allow us to return the favor to you both.

Why nobody talks about Playa Manta and Playa Blanco? Well, because you can't get to it unless you stay at Punta Leona Resort; hands down the best two beaches in CR: one great for the family and almost empty every-time I go there, no waves, surrounded with Rain Forest, the other nice small waves for bogie boarding and absolutely the best in Costa Rica, respectively.

I was staying at the Marriott Los Suenos February 21 and 22, 2020. This beach is just a few hundred meters from the hotel. If you like walking you can walk north towards the Marriott and the Marina and check out the yachts, and continue on a short distance to a small beach with very few people. If you go south (toward Jaco), you can walk for about an hour and get all the way up to where the large island is (Isla Palma). In low tide it is very easy walking. In high tide you can still do it easily, but you may have to step on my rocks to get there. Once you get to the "point" where the island is, if low tide you can walk around a pointed rock. If high tide you may decide to turn back, wade through the water, or climb the rock (I climbed the rock - not to bad). But once around the corner the waves crashing and splashing on even larger rocks is even more breath taking than what you just saw earlier, plus there is a little beach there. I kept walking on sand, and hopping on rocks for another several hundred meters before pretty much ran out of room to walk and had to turn back. No people in this area at all - very quite and secluded. I spent a lot of time watching the pelicans diving for fish, watching the waves, and the sunset - beautiful. Decent amount of small unique shells and pebbles if you like collecting those as well. Again, this is a good hour one way depending on hour fast or slow you walk. I had on hiking shoes to protect my feet from the rocks, and keep from slipping. There is parking at the end of the road (Calle Herradura). On Friday afternoon / evening there was lots of parking, on Saturday evening it was very full with lots of families and friends watching the sunset. Enjoy your time at the beach.
