Santarena Hotel is at the heart of the 1,000-acre car-free town of Las Catalinas, nestled between tree-laden hillsides on a crescent slip of beach.

Breakfast was good, but the server was not efficient.
Escape to a tropical paradise where golden sands invite you to linger under shady palms and the warm, blue Pacific Ocean beckons you to dive in and explore.

Fredrick, the manager and his team were friendly, helpful and responsive. The apartment is large with a wrap-around balcony, which was perfect for enjoying a drink and cigar without bothering anyone.
The property is up a private road and is super quiet. The beds were comfortable, there was always hot water, and the AC was excellent.

It’s a quiet and relaxing area to visit. It’s very hot and very sunny and there’s not much shade on the beach. Be prepared to go through the sunscreen. The beach is clean, the sand is soft and white and the ocean is a spectacularly blue. The surf can be quite rough and it can be difficult to swim, so use caution.

The beach was beautiful.
The beach was beautiful. There weren't many seashells so this isn't a place for shelling, but they won't be crashing into shore and cutting up your feet either. Our kids played in the water for hours. The sunsets were amazing.

This is a beautiful facility with unbelievable views of the coastline! Close to many good restaurants and beaches. We had a rental car, but could have used the shuttle service more or rented a golf cart.

Idyllic white sand beach with turquoise water, perfect for swimming and boogie boarding. Sunsets are incredible! Coco Locos on the beach has the most delicious hot lava cooked tenderloin that can be ordered as a part of the surf and turf or without the lobster (but avoid eating here when a heavy rain due to sewer smell). Stay in luxury at The Palms Villas for top-notch service and beachfront perfection—well worth the price! Check out Monday Moonlight Market in Flamingo.

Playa Flamingo is a friendly and easy going area with good food options, a beautiful beach and amazing views. It is not too buzzy with tourist attractions which we very much liked about the area. The new marina area is very nice. There are a number of lovely shops, a new restaurant not quite opened and a bank. There are a couple of upscale hotels going up next to the marina. I hope the area can maintain it's small town charm which we found to be perfect for our vacation spot. We opted not to rent a car or golf cart (which is popular) and found the small town to be totally walkable and from town it is just a short walk to the beach. The fine sandy beach is gorgeous and not crowded and the water is amazing with just enough surf to enjoy but still be able to swim comfortably. All in all Playa Flamingo is a lovely, relatively quiet beach area that we highly recommend!
This was my second visit to this beautiful small hotel in Potrero Beach and for sure I will be back again.
The room was spotless clean and the bed was big and comfortable. The hostess, Susan, is really nice and she will make sure everything will go by the book. The location is excellent and the neighbourhood really safe. This hotel is located just 5 min away (walking distance) from the beach. On the other hand, Flamingo beach (one of my favourites) is just 5 min away by car.
Excellent place to stay to enjoy Potrero and Flamingo
Absolutely stunning views and a gorgeous pool. The room was very clean and had everything we needed, including a kitchen with all the appliances we needed to prepare our own meals. The staff was incredible and very friendly and helpful. We are pretty fit and did not have much trouble going up and down the big hill, but many other folks rented golf carts to get down to the beach.
Just a short walk to the beach! There’s also many other beautiful beaches close by to drive to and explore. The bed and pillows were the most comfortable we had our whole stay in Costa Rica. The hosts are lovely people. The breakfast was amazing with fresh fruit and homemade croissants and bread.
This was a great place to stay with our family. The rooms are spacious and comfortable. We arrived late (after the reception desk closed) and were given very helpful guidance on how to enter the hotel after hours. We enjoyed breakfast by the pool. Service was outstanding.
Very beautiful hotel! It is a great option for a long stay (the kitchen is fully equipped and has everything, coffee, oil, salt, to enjoy a breakfast yourself) and also the hotel is perfect for working. There is a supermarket right at the corner, very convenient.
Amazing location, the beach is only a few feet away from the hotel, you enjoy the best sunsets, the hotel staff was very friendly and welcoming, the food was delicious and the room was very comfortable. We had a fantastic time and vacation!
There is a private beach for this hotel which is lovely, the sea is calmer on this beach than the main flamingo beach, and always quiet and relaxing. The sea view from the restaurant and the sunset rooms are also beautiful.
Staff was amazing providing recommendations for restaurants, local beaches and assisting with laundry services. Apartment was dated (not a big deal) but spacious and clean. Kitchen fairly well equipped for our needs.
Rooms were very clean and fully equipped. All around the residence the views were breathtaking, would definitely come back. The playa flamingo beach was one of the best beaches Ive been too.
The condo was very nice accommodations. It had enough space for everyone to sleep, and having the washer and dryer in the room was great to wash our clothes in between beach visits.
Everything! The location in Las Catalinas and very close to the beach, the rooftop pool, the balcony with a view, it’s smaller size that made it feel welcoming and homey.
The location of this property is ideal. Literally, you see a beautiful garden, the beach and the sea from the master bedroom, the TV room/living room or the balcony.
