Overall Ratings & Reviews Las Catalinas Collection

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.

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.

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.

No swimming pool

Awesome location, visited for the Xterra Triathlon, hoping to return next year.

Great experience and service

The location was beautiful and had its own little restaurants, spa and groceries, but all were pretty expensive.

It is a perfect stay from the moment you get in throughout all the stay is simply perfection at its best!

The property was prestine with kind and helpful staff

El lugar es muy bonito en sus alrededores, sentimos que la habitación no está adecuadamente equipada para cocinar (a los sartenes se les pega la comida, no hay escurridor de platos, solo hay un limpión para secar platos para toda la estadia). Algunas veces para lograr que se nos atendiera de forma adecuada al whatsapp de las catalinas teniamos que enviar varios mensajes a diferentes momentos para que se ejecutara la petición. En general, fue una buena experiencia, solo esos dos detalles que cambiaria

Beautiful place, familiar ambiance, pool, beautiful beach, the view, sometimes it didn’t felt like Costa Rica and people is nice.

Absolutely good

this property was extremely dirty and neglected we would rent again in this community but not this property very disappointing especially given the expensive rate

Place was great, but the pool was under construction.. great for adults, a little lacking for the kids

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.

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.

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.

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.

This is a beautiful place for couples or a family. You can do a romantic dinner at Sentido Norte - kids not allowed. There are other options like Pot & Bowls, Ponciana, or Papagayo brewery. Beach club food isn't bad either, however, you will have to pay extra for access. I recommend, if you are staying for at least 5 days and have a car, to buy groceries at a supermarket so you can do your own cooking. The on-site gourmet market is very expensive. Lastly, the description/ad states "ocean view", and there isn't ocean view access from the villa. You aren't too far away though. The pictures below are from the beach club, and the restaurant Sentido Norte. Make sure you make reservations far in advance, or you will not find seats at the restaurant. Overall, we would visit and stay again.

Wow wow wow! What a beautiful place! We stayed for 2 days and nights in one of the very comfortable flats/condos. It was so relaxing and enjoyable. Never needed to leave the property for anything. Plenty of restaurant and activity options. The grocery, the beach, and opportunities to stroll the beautiful, walkable streets of town. And don't miss the sunsets at the fabulous Stentido Norte restaurant, voted one of the most romantic restaurants in the world.
