Neighborhoods

It’s walkable, it’s tropical, and it looks like a village out of Renaissance Italy. But Las Catalinas, Costa Rica, is located on a beautiful beach in Guanacaste, surrounded by virgin wilderness – and this meticulously planned 10-year-old town is a gem. Great hiking and mountain bike riding near. Good shopping and restaurant selection. Las Catalinas also has a good food market to visit before leaving!

여행 팁

교통편

Don't Pick Up Rental Car at Airport

Our house manager will arrange for your rental car to be delivered to the Villa. Not only is this easier for you, but it will also save you money. When picking up a rental car from the airport, you will be subject to an airport tax that does not apply when the car is delivered. Our House Manager will arrange for your transportation from the airport to the Villa on arrival day. She will also arrange for transportation back to the airport for departure. Renting a golf cart is also a great option. Our House Manager can handle that as well.
여행 전에 기억할 점

Sport Fishing

It is wise to schedule your sport fishing trips prior to arrival as these are excursions that tend to book quickly. Our favorite boat is The Wetass.
여행 전에 기억할 점

Catamaran Sunset Cruise

If you are interested in a sunset catamaran cruise, we highly suggest that you book your excursion prior to arrival in Costa Rica. These are adventures that book up months in advance. Our favorite boat is The Bali.
