We loved our stay in Las Catalinas! We stayed in a beautiful three-level, two-bedroom home with incredible views—sunsets from the balcony were unforgettable. The town itself is incredibly charming and totally walkable. Everything is thoughtfully designed, and it feels both upscale and relaxed. The only thing missing was a great boulangerie—while there is one in town, it was often nearly empty. A full boulangerie with more variety would be the perfect addition to this otherwise fantastic community.

Peaceful and safe location

We loved this property location. It is VERY safe and convenient for a relaxing vacation. We traveled with another couple, who booked a different room on the property and had included the beach club ($30/person) and daily maid service, for the same price. We did not realize that was an option when booking so would suggest reaching out about that.

It’s a very beautiful place, but not done there is construction going on and it’s very loud. Only three restaurants not much to do with kids. The drive is one hour away from the airport without traffic. In my opinion this place is good for couples only.

Despite being a very nice project and condo , the condo itself was very poorly equipped in terms of plates , silverware etc. The tv in the main room wasn’t 2 hours after I checked out I got a text saying there were 2 towels missing and had to pay $80 My reply was that it’s too bad this is brought up after I left and that when I checked in a count of the towels in the place wasn’t made in front of me They kept texting over the weekend asking for payment for $80 after I spent thousands in my stay I paid the towels under protest and most likely won’t return to this place

I would like to file a complaint regarding my recent stay booked through Expedia. At no point during the booking process was it mentioned that there would be an additional charge to use the beach club. I was surprised upon arrival to find that this extra fee was required, which I consider a serious omission of important information by your platform. Furthermore, the service provided by the staff responsible for the beach club was extremely disappointing. I was treated with a lack of courtesy and professionalism, which is completely inconsistent with the expectations of a pleasant stay. I kindly request that this situation be investigated and that appropriate actions be taken. I would also like a formal response regarding the lack of transparency about the extra charges, as well as an apology and possible compensation for the inconvenience caused.

My stay at Las Catalinas Collection was the perfect end to my month of travels in Costa Rica. The property was pristine and the concierge services were superior. I would definitely return and recommend to anyone. Las Catalinas is a must visit if coming to Costa Rica. It was my fourth time visiting the town, and I had always wanted to stay, so this first for me was extra special and I can’t wait to return for a future visit.

The view from my room was beautiful! The room was perfect for a couple. I would give it a five stars rating if the bathroom didn’t smell like mold. I told the front desk; they said they would look into it; but nothing was done. In addition, the TV didn’t work on the third day that we were there. They could not fix it 😕 The construction noise started from 07am to 10 pm. There was only one road to get in and out of town. It was very very bumpy! Food was expensive at Las Catalinas and Tamarindo. But people were very kind and super friendly.

The specific unit we stayed in was really nice and spacious with a great view of the ocean. So was the overall complex. However, the owner can pay more attention to details such as the condition of the appliances (dishwasher wasn’t operational) and basic amenities such as a roll of paper towel or a box of Kleenex that rental apartments typically have.

Amazing property…. Gorgeous location that is truly a hidden gem. Just wish they included more family activity options (plenty of things to pay extra for)…. But a basketball hoop with no basketball for example isn’t very helpful. More beach activities included in the price would’ve been great, although paying the $15pp for the beach club ended up being worth it for our group.

Las Catalinas could be lovely. But there is so much construction going on at all hours that it is far from peaceful and almost impossible to sleep. The presence of the construction and the car free requirements (you must valet your car) make it very hard to get in and out of the community (30 minutes at a time to pickup the car unless you tip lavishly), making you hostage to eating at only their very expensive restaurants during your stay. The accommodations themselves are otherwise quite nice, and the beach is lovely too. But they need to deal with the gridlock and the construction noise.
