"The photos really don’t do this place justice. The rooms were beautiful, with great AC, hot water, and actually comfortable beds. The grounds were just as impressive—tons of open space, amazing ocean views, beach access, and lots of amenities to enjoy. All the food is included, and honestly, it was so good. Some of the best food I’ve had at a resort, and it’s healthy without feeling boring. Would definitely recommend and would love to come back."
"Most incredible private suite with private pool weve ever stayed in! Didnt wear a stitch of clothing the entire time and wanted to stay forever. Stunning property with incredible staff and amazing food and drinks. Some of best views in Costa Rica!! "
"We enjoyed a great family stay. Comfortable beds and room for all 5 of us.
The pool was great. Really appreciated the covered kids pool. Though would have like to see more shade/umbrellas at the pool. Or less people (who seemed to never show up) saving those seats with towels.
The swim up bar was a great feature and all who work there were friendly and kind especially to our kids and their seemingly non stop pina coladas.
All the food was good. Though disappointing to buffet other than at breakfast. From what we understood this was due to lower occupancy. Although the daily buffet theme was still advertised on the activity’s board.
Live music at the 5 o clock somewhere bar was excellent both nights we went.
The beach is beautiful and only a few steps across a sandy road to get there. Security guys happily got us chairs when we asked.
Location was great with the marina and bit of shopping close by. Felt safe to walk.
Definitely would stay again at Margaritaville Playa Flamingo "
"Everything was perfect. Meliisa was a gracious & accommodating host. She helped arrange airport transfer & was quick to communicate during my stay. Coffee on the back porch each morning was delightful. The beach was absolutely stunning & never crowded. The sunsets took my breath away. I look forward to returning soon. "
LUXURY AT ITS FINEST
Oceanfront 4-Bedroom Villa in the heart of Las Catalinas
10/10 Excellent
"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."
Amazing right on the water, BEACHFRONT studio near Tamarindo
10/10 Excellent
"Wow. Never had a harder time leaving somewhere. Never been closer to the beach - and felt it was our own personal beach. Soft sand, waves crashing, and never saw more than a dozen people - hidden gem! Digna / Omar were fantastic, communication was on point, and very hospitable. Location seemed a bit sketchy driving through but learned was not an issue and super safe. Isolated enough to be quiet, 10 mins from shops, cafes, restaurants, 40 to Tamarindo.Hidden gem! Cant wait to stay here again!"
