Food was also very good, better than the restaurants nearby in Las Catalinas. But what made the stay exceptional was the staff. All staff were friendly, warm, helpful, and incredibly attentive. ##### Wayne Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Binita 14 Nov 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities Had a great stay. Quiet place with a beautiful beach. A couple of good restaurants within walking distance. A special shout out to Aurelio at front desk who went above and beyond to help us plan excursions. 4 star is due to no functioning hot water during our 5 day stay while they did try fixing it. Thankfully it was very hot outside. ##### Binita Stayed 5 nights in Nov 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Daniel 1 Dec 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Beautiful hotel. 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). Cash was not in the room safe so partly my fault. But something travellers should be aware of as it otherwise seems like a classy hotel. ##### Daniel Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Duane 26 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Amazing staff.

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.

All restaurants are within walking distance or they will come pick you up in a golf cart. The pool has a great view of the beach and sunset. Most importantly this is an area that is quiet and peaceful! Everything is closed and lights off by 9PM-10PM latest. Not a place to come if you want to party. The staff was super helpful with finding things to do and guiding us in everything with our last minute booking.

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 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Robert 23 Dec 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities excellent location with beautiful views. ##### Robert Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Robert 12 Feb 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Fine vacation spot ##### Robert Stayed 5 nights in Feb 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mia 31 Mar 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities everyone super nice, beautiful hotel, would recommend to families and couples ##### Mia Stayed 7 nights in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Victor 16 Feb 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Excellent place to spend vacations ##### Victor Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2023 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Occidental Tamarindo - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tamarindo-Hotels-Occidental-Tamarindo-All-Inclusive.h793778.Hotel-Information) > > [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) > > [InterContinental Singapore by IHG](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 > [Flights from Edinburgh (EDI) to Bucharest (OTP)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/edi/otp/edinburgh-to-bucharest) > > [British Airways](https://www.expedia.co.uk/British-Airways-Flights.cBA.Travel-Guide-Airlines) ### Cars > [Thrifty Car Rental Car Rentals In Torquay](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Thrifty-Car-Rental-Car-Rentals-In-Torquay.d5453-c45.Car-Rental-Guide-Suppliers) ### Packages > [Tankerton Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tankerton-Beach-Whitstable.d553248621532509121.Attraction) > > [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 Melbourne Central Business District](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Melbourne-Melbourne-Central-Business-District.dx6052020) > > [Visit Ubud City-Centre](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ubud-Ubud-City-Centre.dx553248633981728352) > > [Visit Madagascar](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Madagascar.dx106)
