Place to stay not a destination
Puntarenas is a little dirty compared to American beach towns, Also a little surprised at how expensive Costa Rican is in general, but still a great place to visit. The people we encountered were friendly, but but Puntarenas had quite a few homeless people.Puntarenas to me is only a place to stay as you continue your journey to other locations.

The town is dirty and rough.
The town is dirty and rough. Our hotel staff recommended a restaurant, but the tuna we were served was tough and overcooked. Next time we will try to go straight to the ferry and not spend the night in Puntarenas.

Go elsewhere! Costa Rica is too nice to be stuck in dirty run-down Puntarenas.
We travelled all over Costa Rica for 12 days. Puntarenas was our LEAST favorite location. The beaches are full of trash and the buildings are all run down. There appears to be a lot of poverty in the area and few things for outsiders to do. It is mostly residential and hard to find restaurants or sodas, except at the very end of the peninsula. Though we kept our room there for both nights, we decided to drive to nicer locations like Monteverde and Playa Hermosa. If you like polluted beaches and being offered cocaine and prostitutes, Puntarenas is right for you!

Nicoya delights
quiet community, some good food choices, friendly people, basic sandy beach. (less hectic than montezuma nearby). one downside is extremely rough gravel road for an hour or so (the rest is paved) , for those like us travelling south on the Nicoya peninsula. ferry from puntarenas likely a better choice.

Not bad for the money
Puntarenas is a quaint little town with a lot of charm. It isn't the typical tourist town like you would expect. This town is where the Ticos from San Jose and the surrounding area go to the beach. The cost is less than the more common beach towns. In town, the streets are one way, which is helpful with the way that folks stop on the road. The beach is wide open and not built up. There are a few parks towards the western tip of the peninsula that have shades and parking. Because it is on a gulf or bay and not directly on the Pacific Ocean, the water is very murky. It is not crystal clear. But it wasn't dirty. The beaches were relatively clean. The roads are clean as they have men picking up trash on the streets. It is a nice place to make a quick trip to the beach and is very affordable, but I wouldn't recommend it for long term beach visits.

Puntarenas is an old port town with a long Paseo de las Turistas walkway along the water with street vendors, beach, hotels, cafes, and the ferries to go across the Golfo de Nicoya to the Nicoya Peninsula.

Puntarenas is a small town, and it does small like fish a lot, but that being said, it was amazing. The locals were all very friendly, and the food was great. I don't eat seafood, but if you do, I'm pretty sure there are lots more options! It also had a busy nightlife, and fun atmosphere with the cruise ships that stopped at the pier twice a week. We were hear for New Years and the locals had a very cool show that they put on complete with dancers, and formal dinner, and an AMAZING drum performance by local kids. All in all an amazing experience!

From $84 per night
Great location! 2 mn from the beach. Plenty of restaurants, shops, bars around. The hotel is very peaceful, decorated with taste with a nice pool and a beautiful garden. We had a big room on the first floor with garden view. The staff was very nice and helpful. Definitely a place to recommend ! It is also walking distance to the bus stop to San Jose and the bus line Puntarenas Quepos (Parc Manual Antonio) is right at the end of the street.

THIS IS ACTUALLY A REVIEW FOR PUNTARENAS BACKPACKERS, they moved me because there was no wifi in my room when i specifically asked for it.
