Bad location, urban condo style, poor amenities and surroundings. Room (Bella Leona apartments) located in a condo, far from the reception and amenities, but more important the condo looks and feels like a high-density suburb in any city of south san jose, nothing like a resort or even a beach destination. Sensation is that we were in a neighborhood of san jose and not a nice one. The entrance was gated with a key that you have to get out of the car each time to go in and out, which could imply the area is not safe enough. Not a beach experience, not a comfortable one.

The property is deceiving. The agency promotes the property that is with the beachfront but it is NOT. You have to drive or use the bus to get to the beach. The rooms are far away from the beach. You have to sell the business with transparency. If I did not rent the car, it was going tobe a nightmare. In addition. the road to get there is terrible. Disgusting I would say. You can do better. The property is huge and we had an amazing time by the beach.

I'm rating my stay with 4 stars instead of 5 because the place is way too overestimated, too pricey. Food prices are ridiculous. Drinks prices in the pool are way too high. Other than that, the place is nice and the service is good enough to forget about the prices... until you go for lunch...
