Villa Leonor at Ballena Beach Club

Delightful flavor sensations; a unique balance of savory, sweet, and spicy. Enjoy a fabulous sunset, then retreat to the cozy, relaxed atmosphere of this beach-side restaurant.

Villa Leonor offers delicious, authentic cuisine in a fun, casual atmosphere.

Access the beach just beyond the restaurant to catch a phenomenal sunset before dinner. Or enjoy a dip in the restaurant-adjacent pool, and swim up to the bar.

The Sunday BBQ menu is especially delightful. If you have dined at Leonor during the week, it’s worth it to make the additional trip for these special offerings. We personally recommend the Pollo and the Pinchos Camarones.

Had dinner here tonight after noticing the restaurant and hotel on a previous visit to the wildlife sanctuary. The food was very high quality and reasonably priced. Highly recommended. Some American fare and local cuisine on the menu. Drinks were also very tasty. Will likely come back during our stay.

Delicious and reasonably priced food. Big portions. Good service. On weekends, they play music at night. Went for early lunch and was the only group at the restaurant, however it does get a bit busier at night. 4×4 not needed, but need to go really slow driving a 2×4.

Excellent service, lot of choices, plates are well laid out. A bit disappointed by the ceviche in taste (too much water) but well presented as seen on pictures. Espresso is real. Recommand !

Chai latte was fantastic and perfect. Red snapper burrito was pretty good, could use something else to set it off. The passion fruit chicken and vegetables was insanely delicious. Everything very fresh. Great service. Good prices.

Casa cómoda con su piscina, tenía sus toallas para el uso de la piscina. Bien ubicada a los 150 metros de la playa. Lo único, porque uno no está acostumbrado es que no tiene cochera, a los carros no les pasó nada los días que estuvimos en la casa.
