Hotel Guide - Playa Prieta hotels in , Costa Rica.

"Santarena is a fabulous hotel where they make you feel at home; whether in the lobby, roof top, or in their spacious and well appointed rooms - some with spectacular ocean views. "

"Had an amazing time! Great staff, always available and willing to accommodate us. Thank you! Food was amazing and beach was beautiful and secluded. "

"The room was very clean with a beautiful view (36 Carlota). The beach access is second to none. It is meant to replicate some sort of italian town near the sea. In some ways it does do that. The service at the restaurants was spotty at times and the food is uninspiring. Better food can be found in town. The December 24-25 dates may have been part of the problem. On December 24 they simply did not have enough staff to run the restaurants. The food prices at the store on site (Copper & Stone) are ridiculousy high. Believe the reviews about the road leading to the resort: full of very deep potholes. It is 2 miles of very unpleasant riding. You can rent kayaks and paddle boards. The per hour rate is very steep. Would I go again? Yes but I would bring my own food."

"Great place and friendly people. "

"great room, super clean, nice pool, easy beach access and access to town, safe/secure parking, great food."

"We had an amazing stay in Casablanca at Las Catalinas. Our group of 10 stayed in this home while another 13 family members stayed nearby, and the setup was perfect for a large family trip.The house is absolutely beautiful and thoughtfully decorated, with a well-stocked kitchen that made cooking easy and enjoyable. The location truly couldn’t be better—just steps from the beach and the pool.Working with Cynthia was a pleasure from start to finish. She was incredibly responsive and patient, answering all of my many questions (probably close to 20! ) quickly and thoroughly, which made planning our stay stress-free.The house mom was very kind and did a wonderful job keeping everything clean. The fresh fruit and guacamole upon check-in were such a delightful and welcoming touch.We especially loved the two outdoor spaces, which were perfect for relaxing, reading, or sneaking in a peaceful afternoon nap. Overall, this home exceeded our expectations, and we would absolutely stay here again."

"The stay here was amazing! It was made incredibly clear over and over again throughout our stay that we had chosen the right place for our family. The beach was less than 50 feet from the property, and it was a BEAUTIFUL beach with gorgeous blue water, and the very best sunsets I have ever seen. The pool was beautiful as well. It was easy to get boogie boards, paddle boards, bikes, and towels whenever you needed them. The drinks at the poolside and all of the restaurants were great. My daughters enjoyed delicious mocktails throughout our stay. My girlfriend and I enjoyed some adult cocktails, beers, and wines. The staff were ALL very attentive, helpful, and always kind and patient. "

"Amazing place, unfortunately in 4 days/ 3 nights towels were never changed and the house never clean up. They only picked up the trash."

"Phenomenal experience with superb staff. Huge thank you to Louis, Steven, Alexandra and Angel!"
