El Punto Bed & Breakfast

A wonderful place to stop through or stay for a while in Liberia, Costa Rica! This place is fresh/hip and has a great energy. The staff is superior and everyone goes out of their way to make your experience the best and the hospitality stems from a genuine friendliness. Marianna, the proprietress, has created an establishment where your travel needs and wants can/will be met, offering many of the same services as the expensive resorts as complimentary service or for much less. The rooms are large, comfortable, and clean. But don't mistake this for a large, impersonal resort because it is small, cozy, and conveniently located.

El Punto is a great place to relax and enjoy your arrival or pre-departure to/from Liberia. The rooms are huge and exceptionally clean and comfortable. Mariana is helpful, knowledgable and goes out of her way to make sure you are accomodated. It is a great place to practice your Spanish with the friendly staff and is close to bus stops and restaurants.

Three friends and I visited El Punto in July when we wanted to visit the National Park — Rincon de la Vieja. The hostel is in a great location close to restaurants, main bus routes, etc. Also, it is only 20 minutes from the park. Marianna, the owner of the hostel, went out of her way to make our experience enjoyable. She helped us to plan our hiking trip, and also had good suggestions for beaches, restaurants, and other diversions. If you don't speak Spanish, she knows English! Also, the room was very nice, and for $4 the breakfast was very good. I would definitely recommend other young travelers to stay here!
