Puntarena is incredibly beautiful. The pool and clubhouse have a pleasing and calming aesthetic. The food was delightful! We enjoyed: - Ceviche - Chicken croquettes (absolutely amazing) - Calamari - Ice-cold Prosecco 👌🏽 - Pina Coladas 👌🏽 The staff were extremely friendly and professional. The beachfront is secluded and boasts stunning turquoise waters. It is truly a paradise. We will definitely return! 🦩
