### **Las Catalinas Shines in Full-Length Travel + Leisure Article** 

 

[Las Catalinas](https://www.lascatalinascr.com/) takes the spotlight in a comprehensive article in this month's [Travel + Leisure edition](https://www.travelandleisure.com/trip-ideas/las-catalinas-costa-rica-beach-town), which focuses on Costa Rica as the Destination of the Year. Journalist Stacey Lastoe captures the essence of Las Catalinas, describing it as an "up-and-coming [beach town on Costa Rica's Guanacaste coast,](https://www.lascatalinascr.com/about-las-catalinas/the-town) all about carefree living and slow travel."

 

 

Lastoe beautifully characterizes [Las Catalinas homes](https://www.lascatalinascr.com/residential-sales) as "inspired by the seaside towns of the Mediterranean, paying respectful homage to the vibrant homes and shops found in Antigua, Guatemala, and San Miguel de Allende, Mexico." Her depiction perfectly aligns with [founder Charles Brewer’](https://thedaily.lascatalinascr.com/the-daily-saturday-october-7-2023)s vision of Las Catalinas as "a place where children can frolic freely while their parents sip cocktails overlooking the lapping Pacific waves." 

 

 

The journalist also shares insights into her preferred local establishments, spotlighting restaurants [Pascual](https://www.lascatalinascr.com/shopping-and-dining/pascual), [Ponciana](https://www.lascatalinascr.com/shopping-and-dining/ponciana), [Santarena Hotel](https://www.santarenahotel.com/) for their dreamy rooftop pool, [Core by Chakfitness](https://www.lascatalinascr.com/shopping-and-dining/core), and [Pura Vida Ride](https://www.lascatalinascr.com/shopping-and-dining/pura-vida-ride) for outdoor physical activity.
