Best Places To Stay in Las Catalinas

Enjoy a unique Guanacaste coastal community

Welcome to La Catalinas

The community of Las Catalinas was founded on the idea of “new urbanism,” which is all about living in an environmentally-friendly, car-free way. The homes, hotels, and businesses are inspired by Italian and Mediterranean designs and are connected by walking and biking paths connecting to plazas. 
All the hotels and rentals in Las Catalinas come with access to community amenities, such as 24-hour security, wifi, a spa, a concierge service, a lap pool, an adult pool, a hot plunge pool, a kids pool, lounge chairs, a restaurant, a cocktail bar, and a fitness room. There is also a beach club you can access for an added fee.
Las Catalinas rentals vary greatly. There are small apartments, larger homes, and mid-sized townhouses. There are also two boutique hotel options to choose from. No matter the size of your group, you can find a great vacation rental or hotel here.

The towns are about 20 minutes from one another so you could stay in Las Catalinas and enjoy Playa Flamingo and vice versa. Las Catalinas is quieter more laid back, with no cars or rushing about.

Our agent made our honeymoon stress-free and fun! She was available throughout, even when I felt unwell early in the trip. Her support and great recommendations helped us feel better fast. So grateful for the special touches she added along the way.
