Ballena - Puntarenas
Villa Leonor serves hearty Costa Rican fare—especially whole red snapper steamed or grilled in banana leaf, fried fish, BBQ ribs and a rich seafood soup—often with rosemary potato wedges and fresh salads. The setting is relaxed and beach‑adjacent with sunset views, and staff are warm and welcoming; note that the restaurant is cash only.
