His landings were numerous, but we can only speculate as to exactly they were made.
If you mean voyages of exploration to Florida, only the two. If you mean voyages altogether, then the total rises to six.
The only problems Juan Ponce de Leon faced were a hole in his ship and low on food.
Juan Ponce de Leon is thought to have been 61 years old when he died in July 1521, having been born around 1460. But his birth year may have been as late as 1474, making him only about 47. There are no definitive sources for either date. The year 2010 might have been the 550th anniversary of his birth, or only the 536th.
No-one. Ponce de Leon was highly regarded among his peers and by the Spanish Crown. The only ones to understandably resent his efforts were the Calusa indians when he tried to colonize their territory for Spain. They got their own back by shooting him in the thigh with a poisoned arrow. Ponce the Leon had to give up his expedition and died shortly afterwards of the effects of the poison.
A champion knows that his success is inevitable and that there is no such reality as failure, only feedback. A champion knows that the best way to forecast his future is to make it.
He was only a temporary resident of Florida.

1521 Ponce de León organized a colonizing expedition on two ships. It consisted of some 200 men, including priests, farmers and artisans, 50 horses and other domestic animals, and farming implements. The expedition landed on the southwest coast of Florida, in the vicinity of Caloosahatchee River or Charlotte Harbor.
No-one, for the simple reason that it did not exist. There are however stories that Spanish explorer Ponce de Leon went out searching for the fountain. Those stories however only emerged after his death. Nowhere in Ponce de Leon's own correspondence is there any mention of the hoped-for existence of such a fountain, nor of any effort to find it. Also, none of his documented expeditions included the search for it. So the whole story, including Ponce de Leon's involvement in it, can be considered a myth.
De Leon and Columbus were NOT on the same voyage. They were both sent by Spain, but Columbus never reached the main land of the North America and De Leon did. Columbus sailed in 1492, but De Leon didn't leave Spain until 1510. The only connection they may have had is that De Leon was made governor of Hispaniola and then Porto Rico. I know Columbus thought that those should have been his jobs.
