Santarena Hotel is at the heart of the 1,000-acre car-free town of Las Catalinas, nestled between tree-laden hillsides on a crescent slip of beach.

This was the nicest hotel we've ever stayed at. The hotel is beautifully decorated with comfy chairs and couches in the lobby/bar area. The rooms are spacious, comfortable beds and nice cool temperature. The staff are friendly and hospitable. All in all it was a wonderful vacation.

Breakfast was good, but the server was not efficient.
Escape to a tropical paradise where golden sands invite you to linger under shady palms and the warm, blue Pacific Ocean beckons you to dive in and explore.

Fredrick, the manager and his team were friendly, helpful and responsive. The apartment is large with a wrap-around balcony, which was perfect for enjoying a drink and cigar without bothering anyone.
The property is up a private road and is super quiet. The beds were comfortable, there was always hot water, and the AC was excellent.

Situated in Playa Flamingo, a few steps from Flamingo, Margaritaville Beach Resort - Poolview - Costa Rica features accommodation with a garden, free private parking and a restaurant.
It’s a quiet and relaxing area to visit. It’s very hot and very sunny and there’s not much shade on the beach. Be prepared to go through the sunscreen. The beach is clean, the sand is soft and white and the ocean is a spectacularly blue. The surf can be quite rough and it can be difficult to swim, so use caution.

The beach was beautiful.
The beach was beautiful. There weren't many seashells so this isn't a place for shelling, but they won't be crashing into shore and cutting up your feet either. Our kids played in the water for hours. The sunsets were amazing.

This is a beautiful facility with unbelievable views of the coastline! Close to many good restaurants and beaches. We had a rental car, but could have used the shuttle service more or rented a golf cart.

Idyllic white sand beach with turquoise water, perfect for swimming and boogie boarding. Sunsets are incredible! Coco Locos on the beach has the most delicious hot lava cooked tenderloin that can be ordered as a part of the surf and turf or without the lobster (but avoid eating here when a heavy rain due to sewer smell). Stay in luxury at The Palms Villas for top-notch service and beachfront perfection—well worth the price! Check out Monday Moonlight Market in Flamingo.

Playa Flamingo is a friendly and easy going area with good food options, a beautiful beach and amazing views. It is not too buzzy with tourist attractions which we very much liked about the area. The new marina area is very nice. There are a number of lovely shops, a new restaurant not quite opened and a bank. There are a couple of upscale hotels going up next to the marina. I hope the area can maintain it's small town charm which we found to be perfect for our vacation spot. We opted not to rent a car or golf cart (which is popular) and found the small town to be totally walkable and from town it is just a short walk to the beach. The fine sandy beach is gorgeous and not crowded and the water is amazing with just enough surf to enjoy but still be able to swim comfortably. All in all Playa Flamingo is a lovely, relatively quiet beach area that we highly recommend!
Comfortable and spatious apartment, with a nice little seating area close to the pool.
Kids loved to wake up in the morning, take a few steps outside and then jump in the nicely temperatured pool.
Location is allright. Next to the supermarket and not too far from some beautiful beaches, like Playa Flamingo and Playa Conchal.
Staff is very friendly. Frederick is an easy going fellow, who basically seems to be doing everything over there (he helped us with check-in, turning on the gas stove, doing the laundry and fixing our soccer ball... ;-)).
We stayed here for 7 days and really enjoyed it. The hotel is very small with just a few rooms but the room we had was really nice with a big terrace. The hotel is quite new so it's very modern and clean inside.
The French couple who owns it are very nice and serves a huge and really good breakfast with fresh fruit, cereals, freshly baked bread, crossiants and chocolate au pains.
The hotel have no ocean view but are located only 3 minute walk to the beach, to the supermarket and to the restaurants the area has to offer
This hotel is STUNNING - panoramic views of the water from almost the entire property, and many of the rooms have gorgeous views too. The food at the restaurant was delicious, and the staff were incredibly friendly. My room was quiet and clean with fantastic A/C (a must in Playa Flamingo in January!). There is also a little stretch of private beach down a path from the property that is MAGICAL.
This 3 bedroom condo was picture perfect! Great location, where we snorkel right on from the beach! Saw sea turtles, small fish and crabs! My family had a great time here, our host was very responsive with all that we needed! We didn’t see a bottle opener in the kitchen and she right away brought us one! Lively place and food value!
With a beautiful pool and a comfortable apartment space, I highly recommend Massai! You feel like you're in the nature -- even though comforts are at hand. Massai is a great space for a short time a Playa Flamingo. You can walk 20 minutes+ to the beach and you're near a supermarket and restaurants.
Perfect location right by the beach and a wonderful frutería, as well as lots of restaurants. Owners were very accessible and gave clear directions. The beds were super comfortable and the apartment was very spacious with all the kitchen supplies you need.
There was not any food service at the hotel but any number of good restaurants within EASY walking distance
Stayed at the hotel as our own home was unavailable for our dates. Would recommend it to anyone travelling to that area of CR. Great staff btw.
The hotel itself is wonderful. It is really nice inside and the upstairs roof terrace is lovely and the view is amazing. I was very impressed with my room, double height ceilings, wonderfully designed bathroom and a super comfortable bed,
The location is very good!
the facilities are very nice, clean, large outdoor areas to rest. Very quiet, no noise, no distractions! excellent to disconnect and rest. very close to many beaches. many restaurants nearby.
Rooms were very clean and fully equipped. All around the residence the views were breathtaking, would definitely come back. The playa flamingo beach was one of the best beaches Ive been too.
Loved the location, the view. It was extremely clean. Having 3 bathrooms was awesome. There was a small cooler we were able to use for beach. The little welcome package was very sweet.
Great hotel in the heart of the Marina.
The room was perfect. Brand new equipments, extremely clean. The whole staff was great and very helpful! Special mention to the security guards!
It was a lovely hotel and has beautiful gardens.
Iv forgotten the name of the main receptionist through out my trip now, but she was so lovely, helpful and kind!
