In this Daily: Two Pieces of Coverage for the Santarena Hotel
The Santarena Hotel was the subject of two pieces of news coverage in quick succession this week from the NY Post and Forbes MX/Forbes Centroamerica. It’s always a good thing to see people around the world talking about businesses, people, and life in Las Catalinas, and each of these articles featured Santarena in a different regard.
The first article was posted on Forbes MX and Forbes Centroamerica’s online publications, and takes a comprehensive look at the Santarena Hotel. After introducing readers to the town of Las Catalinas, the article then took some time to cover the design and interior design of the hotel, some activities available for guests, and the dining available at the Santarena.
The second article, from the NY Post’s “Fall-ing prices” section on autumn travel deals, focused on the Santarena Hotel’s new “To The Stars” package.
We look at each in a bit more depth below.

Santarena’s New “To The Stars” Package Featured in the New York Post
Also happy to share that Tuesday’s print version of the New York Post featured Santarena Hotel’s new “To The Stars” package as part of their recommended fall deals on vacation destinations.
Brad Pitt's next film is called Ad Astra and is launching next weekend (Sept 20th). That phrase literally means "to the stars" and is also the name of a rocket company with headquarters in Houston and Guanacaste, Costa Rica.
In addition to their work with space travel, Ad Astra Rocket Company’s Costa Rica division, Ad Astra Servicios Energéticos y Ambientales, also works on sustainable energy and transport. After starting with wind turbines and solar arrays, they turned their focus to hydrogen storage of energy, and developed the infrastructure needed for the only hydrogen car in Latin America.
Las Catalinas and Santarena Hotel have a special relationship with Ad Astra as the first official home for the Toyota Mirai in Costa Rica, and have launched this new package to celebrate the value of exploration, progress, and science in humanity’s future.
This "To the Stars" offer is available for new bookings for stays at Santarena through June 2020 and includes three nights accommodations, breakfast daily, one full day rental of the Toyota Mirai, and a VIP tour with Ad Astra in Guanacaste.
