What a wonderful spot in Las Catalinas! Centrally located, spacious for our group, nice size bedrooms and bathrooms. Was clean and quiet.Easy enough to cook dinner, Crate & Barrel dinner plates…it does overlook the courtyard. There was an Easter party happening, so it was a little more rowdy, but not a big deal at all. Highly recommend.
Great spot and space in Las Catalinas - couldn't be better located
Space was as nice or nicer than in photos - perfect location and great support through blue Zone.

So close to all the restaurants and the beach. The only issue is that the beach club closed the pool that the kids could swim in and wouldn’t let them swim in the adult pool. But the condo itself was winderful’

Maria and Bobby Thank you for choosing our vacation rental. We look forward to welcoming you back for another memorable vacation in the future! Pura Vida
This was our first visit to Costa Rica and, while we enjoyed a number of excursions (expertly coordinated by the property manager), we could have easily just stayed in this beautiful home, reading on the porch, listening to the ocean. The Las Catalinas area is delightful and very family friendly with great restaurants, convenient beach access, and easy walkability. Along with a number of thoughtful amenities, the home came with beach chairs and towels which was a nice perk. We loved our visit and look forward to coming back soon!

We had an amazing time! It was a very comfortable home and had everything we needed. The ice maker was broken however the host had ice brought to us when we needed it. Will be back!

We ended up in a different condo since our original condo had bats - we were notified 3 days before we were supposed to fly to Costa Rica - the management company worked with us to find a comparable place - we spent almost two days finally deciding on another place - which was much bigger than we had wanted - it was gorgeous - even though we got a 20 percent discount, it cost us 2,000 more
We stayed at his beautiful, bright, clean condo for 5 nights with our three kids (ages 6 - 11). We had a fantastic time; location is ideal with just steps to the beach, easy access to delicious restaurants, and a short walk to the hotel pool. Views from the large wrap around porch were spectacular, and our kids loved having access to the plunge pool in the shade of the porch if we needed a break from the sun. The property manager was very communicative and easy to reach. We also easily accessed our car through the valet when needed. We highly recommend this condo and would definitely return!

Beautiful condo close to Danta beach and restaurants.
Excellent place to stay with the family. Steps from several great restaurants and Danta beach. Front of the village is undergoing Phase 2 construction but you don’t see or hear that where the condo is. You will notice it if you drive in and out of the parking area. Nikki our Consierge was amazing. She was able to get us tickets right away for attractions near by. Great service by her and her team. The restaurant staff was very friendly. Will definitely come back in the future.

Pictures do not do this place justice, it's super modern and beautifully decorated. The little town is super secluded and have spas restaurants and shops that you can walk to, they have a market that has a little bit of everything and is super high end. The wake spa services are amazing and the staff in all the restaurants are great. If you're looking for a local vibe, this may not be your place.you have to drive to the little town of Potrero to get that, but if you are looking to relax, walk to the beach and stay in your little bubble it's perfect! The staff is available to arrange tours, spa appointments and just about anything you need. You can rent a car and drive here, if you do take the long route unless you are feeling adventurous, Donkey pass is a drive I'll never forget! Thank you!
We had a lovely stay in Las Catalinas. The location was great near restaurants and the beach with a short walk to the market. The flat is simply decorated with great light, very clean, and stocked with everything you need. Lots of towels was a great perk. The views are beautiful from the balcony and the plunge pool was refreshing after hiking or swimming in the ocean. Above all was Diego, concierge extraordinaire, who was always responsive to any question or request. He arranged transfers, tours, and dinners and welcomed us in person upon our arrival. Our only mistake was not stocking the fridge in advance which is a service they offer. There are also many steps without railings throughout the town so consider the mobility of your party. We hope to come back again.
