Let me introduce my review by getting the most pertinent questions out of the way; It's clean, your not going to get mugged, your things are safe, your car is safe and it's walking distance to a classic 24 hour restaurant, a gym and a nice grocery store. Okay, so besides all the musts, this hotel has a lot of... More

We stayed at El Punto for one night on our way from Monteverde to Rincon de la Vieja. The rooms are much like they look in the pictures - brightly coloured, fun and comfortable. The grounds are beautiful and we spent a few hours lounging around in the morning reading and taking photos. As a few of the reviews on... More

It's a little dustier than what the pictures promise. For a couple of nights it's a good choice, even if a little pricey for what you get. All the staff we talked to only spoke Spanish, but were charming and helpful. If you need a driver, make sure they call Offi for you. He's the best tour guide you could... More

Dear Guest, El Punto is constantly working to improve its services. We apologize for the dust that made you uncomfortable during your stay. Unfortunately, as you might have noticed, it is the summer time, and we have been experiencing very strong winds, and sometimes, it is hard to work against nature. For future guests, we would like to tell you... More

Great little hotel in Liberia. Colorful, comfortable and clean rooms, great location close to town centre. It can be a little noisy as it is on InterAmericana; however, if you're used to some traffic noise, it won't be a problem. Showers nice and big, and warm water. Breakfast was good. We stayed in the orange room - double bed on... More

Dear Guest, We have to agree with you, our location next to a highway can have its pros and cons. We are continuously working into making our garden as lush as possible to buff off the noise from the Street. Our location though, is also strategic for those adventurous travelers who want to go explore the surrounding areas as well... More

It was a perfect place to relax before heading home. Mariana was so hospitable that she took me to her pilates class with her. Wifi, close to good food amenities, and a great art gallery. Close to airport and she gives you a ride there. I highly recommend.

Right from the start we were enthralled by the beauty of the premises: lots of outside relaxing area, a beautiful kid corner, gorgeous rooms with lots of style and great mattresses and pillows. The breakfast is really good too. We found the place to be a bit noisy at night because of the central location (people around talking loudly around... More

It's right next to the main road, but you wouldn't know it as it feels very idyllic, and the rooms are 'boutiquey' in feel and very clean and spacious. Breakfast wonderful - freshly baked bread.

El Punto was the perfect place to relax on our last night in Costa Rica. The owner, Mariana, has impeccable style, and has clearly worked hard to make El Punto a beautiful and comfortable place to stay. Colorful paintings hang in the rooms and common areas, and part of the hotel is even used as a gallery that highlights work... More

My husband and I stayed at this hotel on the last night of our honeymoon before flying out of Liberia the following day. We were attracted by El Punto because of positive reviews in LP and its eclectic and different vibe. We thought the price was a little high but gladly paid the 98$ for air conditionning, breakfast, and a... More

I traveled to El Punto with my mother-in-law, my wife, my 5 month-old son, and my 5 year-old daughter. This is a fairly eclectic little hostel, painted in beautiful colors, with rooms laid out in a unique way. We enjoyed our stay, and would stay there again. Pros: 1) Location was awesome!
