Why Costa Rican Vacations Loves Punta Islita Hotel:
Punta Islita is one of Costa Rica's most established and famous hotels. It first opened in 1994 and became known as one of the "typical" boutique and eco-minded resorts that define tourism in Costa Rica. While other countries have big, all-inclusive resorts as their mainstay, Costa Rica has places like Punta Islita.
Nowadays, Punta Islita is part of Marriott's Autograph Collection, an attempt by the global chain to highlight individual, unique hotels and resorts around the world without being part of the rigid Marriott brand. This means Punta Islita is still independently-owned, retains its original, boutique feel, and benefits from its association with one of the world's leading hotel brands.
The hotel is located on a remote stretch of the Nicoya Peninsula coastline, south of Samara and north of Santa Teresa. There's not much around here, apart from stunning, isolated Pacific beaches. The village of Punta Islita, as it exists, is a charming artist community centered around a beautiful, whitewashed church.
Boutique Exclusivity:
Hotel Punta Islita has 32 guest rooms/suites and 20 private villas with 80 acres of lush, tropical terrain. They combine rustic local decor with understated tropical furnishings. Each room/suite has its private deck, complete with a hammock and ocean view. Complimentary WiFi is available throughout the property.
Punta Islita has two restaurant options. The Aura Beach Club is a short distance from the hotel, with a complimentary shuttle available for guests. It is an oceanfront restaurant offering bar food/snacks and seafood. The main restaurant, Alma, serves up eclectic, international cuisine. Breakfast is included.
Things to Do:
Activities at Punta Islita mainly involve relaxing poolside or exploring the beaches around the area. Those seeking something more active can enjoy surf lessons, horseback riding, zip-lining, and more. There's also a tiny golf course here, two tennis courts, and a fitness center. We also recommend exploring the artist community of Punta Islita, checking out the church, the plaza, and the art museum.
