Stay here if you want to relax and decompress. This is a mountain resort. There isn't allot of rooms or guests at La Catalina. However you will be tended to very well, a stay here is like a private getaway with a personal staff just for you. Good food. Small town near by also if you want to meet locals.

very high prices (169-199$ per night), average quality, not very clean, everything looks a little untended, location very outside, personal very friendly

Perfect location outside the city, la Catalina is a couples only hotel which was perfect for us! We only stayed one night (our last night in CR) but we are definitely going back to spend more time! The staff was really nice with us and the food was delicious. We booked a presidente suite and they gave us an upgrade... More

The Catalina is a good choice for travelers seeking romance, relaxation and good entertainment at night. we went for only two nights and we were amazed at how big and luxurious, the main house is decorated in different types of wood with a restaurant and cozy bar. From our room we could see all the lights in the central valley... More

I didn't know from these reviews or from the external site I used to book the accommodation. "A clothing-optional resort for open minded people" is the sort of thing you need to know before you book. As others have said, this... More

Secluded getaway with excellent views close to the airport but totally out of the way. Don't rely on GPS to get you there, follow the signs to Birri and La Catalina or use their shuttle or a taxi but its better if you have your own transportation. They would deserve an excellent review but for a few deficiencies. The hot... More

My family and I stayed at La Catalina Hotel in the 2-bedroom, 1 bath apartment. The rooms were clean and the beds in the bedrooms were comfortable. (The pull out couch bed was not that comfortable though.) ALL of the staff were VERY friendly and helpful. The grounds are beautiful and well-kept. At night, the sounds of the birds, frogs,... More

My friends and I took a trip to San Jose and after reading some of the reviews and recommendations online we decided to book this hotel for a weekend. We booked directly with them, everything went smooth since the beginning and the people at the hotel were helpful throughout the whole process. The location, atmosphere, cleanliness, attentiveness from the staff... More
