Wonderful rooftop views. Short walk to the beach. Unfortunately someone from staff rifled through my luggage while in the hotel room and stole $100USD (not passports thankfully).

Relaxing stay even with a major Xtrerra event going on. ##### Duane Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Maria 14 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities This is a beautiful property with about six restaurants in it. We very much enjoyed our stay at Santarena. A few drawbacks were that since the hotel is kind of secluded, we did not have many options for shopping, and the restaurants were quite over priced. ##### Maria Stayed 6 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Taylor 23 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Beautiful property and location in Las Catalina’s, surf shop, beach and restaurants out your doorstep.

The room was spacious and beautiful. The breakfast was delicious! The staff was some of the nicest people I’ve come across. They always remembered our names and we never felt unsafe even in the slightest. Do you research on the area that was my mistake. Las Catalinas is very out of the way to most tourist places and excursions. The entire town completely shuts down at 9pm. Theres absolutely nothing to do after 9pm. Not bar no food. Nothing. You want to leave the town at 8? Good luck. I think a max number of nights in this town is 2-3\. The pool was clean and beautiful even though it was small. ##### Heidi Celest Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotels in Durrës](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Durres-Hotels.d6047335.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [TravelodgeUK Hotels in Woking](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Woking-Hotels-Travelodge-UK.0-0-d179540--bTravelodgeUK.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels in St Just](https://www.expedia.co.uk/St-Just-Hotels.d6062913.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [W Costa Rica - Reserva Conchal](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cabo-Velas-Hotels-W-Costa-Rica-Reserva-Conchal.h24195607.Hotel-Information) > > [TravelodgeUK Hotels in Ross-on-Wye](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ross-On-Wye-Hotels-Travelodge-UK.0-0-d5672--bTravelodgeUK.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Planet Hollywood Costa Rica by Royalton, An Autograph Collection All-Inclusive Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Papagayo-Hotels-Planet-Hollywood-Beach-Resort-Costa-Rica-All-Inclusive.h21882911.Hotel-Information) > > [Margaritaville Beach Resort Playa Flamingo](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Playa-Flamingo-Hotels-Margaritaville-Beach-Resort-Playa-Flamingo.h189539.Hotel-Information) > > [Oriental Hotel Universal City](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Osaka-Hotels-ORIENTAL-HOTEL-UNIVERSAL-CITY.h68823132.Hotel-Information) > > [Secrets Papagayo - Adults Only - All inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Papagayo-Hotels-Secrets-Papagayo-Adults-Only.h10650279.Hotel-Information) > > [El Mangroove Papagayo, Autograph Collection](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Papagayo-Hotels-El-Mangroove-Papagayo.h6052327.Hotel-Information) > > [Frasers House, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Singapore](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Singapore-Hotels-InterContinental-Singapore.h12307.Hotel-Information) > > [The Westin Reserva Conchal, an All-Inclusive Golf Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cabo-Velas-Hotels-The-Westin-Reserva-Conchal.h4151182.Hotel-Information) > > [5 Star Hotels in Ixia](https://www.expedia.co.uk/5Star-Ixia-Hotels.s50-0-d6052012.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Andaz Peninsula Papagayo Resort, Costa Rica, by Hyatt](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Papagayo-Hotels-Andaz-Costa-Rica-Resort-At-Peninsula-Papagayo-A-Concept-By-Hyatt.h6476638.Hotel-Information) > > [Caravan Parks Stansted](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stansted-Caravan-Parks.d6189-aaCaravanParks.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Four Seasons Resort Peninsula Papagayo, Costa Rica](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Papagayo-Hotels-Four-Seasons-Resort-Costa-Rica.h984916.Hotel-Information) > > [Occidental Papagayo - Adults Only - All inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Panama-Beach-Hotels-Occidental-Papagayo-Adults-Only-All-Inclusive.h659642.Hotel-Information) > > [TravelodgeUK Hotels in Peckham](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Peckham-London-Hotels-Travelodge-UK.0-n6251538-0--bTravelodgeUK.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) ### Flights > [British Airways](https://www.expedia.co.uk/British-Airways-Flights.cBA.Travel-Guide-Airlines) ### Cars ### Packages > [Tivoli Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tivoli.d55018.Holidays-City-Breaks) > > [Jakarta Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Jakarta.d178269.Holidays-City-Breaks) > > [Otterspool Adventure Centre](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Otterspool-Adventure-Centre-Liverpool.d553248621532491149.Attraction) ### General > [Visit Ubud City-Centre](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ubud-Ubud-City-Centre.dx553248633981728352) > > [Visit Madagascar](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Madagascar.dx106) ---
