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.

This was the nicest hotel we've ever stayed at. The hotel is beautifully decorated with comfy chairs and couches in the lobby/bar area. The rooms are spacious, comfortable beds and nice cool temperature. The staff are friendly and hospitable. All in all it was a wonderful vacation.

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.

Loved the owner and staff. Brilliant location. You were close enough to walk to everything you needed and by car had a huge array of beaches to go at. Fred was like the local Oracle. Would definitely go again. Thank you.

We loved the pool and the location. Yes, close to the road, but for us not as issue. Most important: it’s close to the two beaches! Only a 20min walk to beautiful playa Conchal. Breakfast was very good, room very big and quiet. Restaurant served good food. Lovely place!

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!
Comfortable and spatious apartment, with a nice little seating area close to the pool.
Kids loved to wake up in the morning, take a few steps outside and then jump in the nicely temperatured pool.
Location is allright. Next to the supermarket and not too far from some beautiful beaches, like Playa Flamingo and Playa Conchal.
Staff is very friendly. Frederick is an easy going fellow, who basically seems to be doing everything over there (he helped us with check-in, turning on the gas stove, doing the laundry and fixing our soccer ball... ;-)).
Everything! Agnes and Pierre are fantastic hosts who cannot do enough for you, and who are warm and friendly without being overly intrusive. Pierre is an amazing baker who filled us with the most delicious fresh bread and pastries each morning whilst Agnes is so lovely and helpful - she even offered to do washing for us. The rooms are really comfortable and well appointed - great showers and the best hotel bed we have ever encountered in all our years of travelling! A two minute walk from a couple of great restaurants.
With a beautiful pool and a comfortable apartment space, I highly recommend Massai! You feel like you're in the nature -- even though comforts are at hand. Massai is a great space for a short time a Playa Flamingo. You can walk 20 minutes+ to the beach and you're near a supermarket and restaurants.
this place is a 4 room hotel with an additional house for rent. It was close to everything in the small town and the people, Susan, Juardo, and Noemi were fantastic. There is a troop of howler monkies that occasionally stop by for a visit. all in a great little place for a few days
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 huge parking lot in front of the hotel, which is fenced off, so your car is protected. The accommodation area is large, the receptionist is really very nice. The room was very nice, spacious, and had all the equipment we needed.
Super close to an amazing beach. Nice large unit with all necessary amenities. Well cleaned. Beautiful and clean pool and pool area. Easy parking. Close to everything in Playa Flamingo.
Perfect location to a lovely beach. Nearby restaurants steps away from hotel. Restaurants and bar at hotel were staffed with very helpful and hospitable personnel. Everyone was happy!
Fiona was fabulous at 5 o’clock somewhere bar. She was energetic, attentive and very friendly. All other staff were nice including Manuel and the guys at the beach security gate.
The condo and private beach were beyond our expectations! Diego made sure we had everything we needed. He was a pleasure to work with. I would highly recommend this property.
Pretty, spacious condo. Large balcony. About a 10 minute walk to beautiful beach. Only a 5 minute walk to restaurants, store and marina. Very convenient.
