A few weeks ago, Condé Nast Traveler shared a blog post titled “13 Best Hotels in Costa Rica, From Jungle Eco-Lodges to Luxury Surf Resorts” , featuring Santarena among its selections.
The article highlights what makes each place special, from Costa Rica’s lush forests and howler monkeys to its relaxed atmosphere and deep connection with nature. It is another reminder of why Costa Rica continues to attract travelers from around the world, not only for its natural beauty, but also for the care the country has taken to protect the biodiversity that makes it so remarkable.
Santarena was mentioned as being positioned right at the center of Las Catalinas, a place that gathers residents and guests who come and go, between enjoying the food, staying at one of the rooms with an amazing view. The writer described days here as slower and simpler, shaped by quiet mornings, coffee, workouts, and incredible views.
Writers never fail to mention the ouststanding Mediterranean aesthetic, the warmer colors, the charming and pedestrian Town, that allows for people to be at the center, where conversations happen easily over lunch, at the beach, where walks through Town might include encounters with grackles, hawks, iguanas, dogs, and the everyday life that makes Las Catalinas feel so alive.
We are grateful to be featured by one of the most respected voices in travel media, opening the door for more people to discover the magic of Town.
