"We really enjoyed our stay at Casa Papita! Beautiful house, has literally everything you could need (so thankful for beach chairs!) and a walking distance to the beach (2 access points) and several restaurants. Can't wait to come back! "
"Nice hotel, incredible view, lovely bar at sunset, nice rooms with stunning views.
I did not put 5 stars because the restaurant is not great, menu is limited. Could do much better for a relais et chateau."
"Its a very eco friendly hotel. If you are looking for typical Hyatt/Marriott this is not for you! Food was awesome, staff were awesome! True Costa Rica experience"
"This is a beautiful property with about six restaurants in it. We very much enjoyed our stay at Santarena. A few drawbacks were that since the hotel is kind of secluded, we did not have many options for shopping, and the restaurants were quite over priced. "
"Mark was a very helpful host and he provided great recommendations for activities and dining. The view was absolutely stunning and the free homemade breakfast was awesome. "

Top Playa Prieta Hotel Reviews
Margaritaville Beach Resort Playa Flamingo
10/10 Excellent
"This property was kept spotless! The people working on property were absolutely amazing! They were kind, helpful, and genuine. We ate on property most meals and enjoyed all of them immensely. The resort is small and quaint and felt very much like a large family with a wonderful beach to walk on adjacent to the property and a large pool with swim up bar to cool down in. Can’t wait to go back!"
"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.

"It was so much fun to see cows on the beach! The room we booked was huge and comfortable. My kids really enjoyed the bunk beds and the privacy curtains. The kitchen and living space was nicely equipped. All the nature around the hotel and the set up of the hotel is relaxing and lovely. We did encountered a plumbing issue during our stay that caused our unit to not have water for several hours for two days. The staff were helpful regarding this and accommodate us to shower in a different room. Not necessarily convenient but was not their fault and responded appropriately to the problem. The two restaurants had very similar food options and it was just alright. There were too many flies during meals and that was a nuisance. Staff were friendly at the restaurant as well. The pool and common areas look old and in my opinion could have more maintenance. We saw the pools being cleaned in the morning but the cement looks stained and many insects fall in the water throughout the day that could be cleaned for better enjoyment of the pool. "
LUXURY AT ITS FINEST
Oceanfront 4-Bedroom Villa in the heart of Las Catalinas
10/10 Excellent
"Casa Blanca House is amazing, just as you see in the pictures, with a great location at the Catalinas, close to the beach and beach club. The service from the various staff members is fantastic and makes you feel very comfortable. The rooms are incredibly spacious, and the beds are also very cozy. The kitchen has everything you need, and the BBQ area is an excellent spot for a relaxing evening with friends or family, accompanied by a drink. Definitely a place we will come back to!"
Beautiful Ocean front Villa with outstanding sunsets! Cook Service included!!
10/10 Excellent
"This property was perfect for our family of 11. The house and its recent remodel is incredible. The views simply cannot be captured in pictures. Sylvia was very helpful in arranging transport, golf, spa, and boating activities. Vicky and Bismarck were so accommodating and the meals were very good. The space was great for our adult family and everyone slept well. Only critiques would be updating some of the furniture upholstery and providing more acrylic glasses for poolside use. We would absolutely come back again!"
"This place was absolutely gorgeous. The Hotel Santarena was incredibly clean, the staff were incredibly friendly, and it came off as genuine and warm. It was my first time to Costa Rica and I would recommend the Santarena to anyone that wants to have an amazing experience. It was a quick drive from the airport in Liberia, and it was conveniently located in an area that was not far from other great places to experience like Tamarindo and the Diamante Eco Park. And if experiencing local life and food is on your list of desires, just 10 minutes away was Potrero with some incredible food with the kindest locals at Los Abuelos. I recommend the Red Snapper. But seriously, the Santarena was a great stay experience. It was all inclusive and we were so incredibly well taken care of. "
Amazing right on the water, BEACHFRONT studio near Tamarindo

"The pictures of this place don’t do it justice at all, not to mention the hospitality. As far as I’m concerned, we won’t stay anywhere else next time we are in CR on this side of the country. Hands down the best place to stay on a beach in the world. "
