I've spent significant time in this hotel, May, June and July of 2011 to be specific, as well as several months in prior years. It's a very comfortable place. The hotel is right on the beach in the south end of Jaco, which is a great area for surfing and relaxing. Walk out the door of your room to check... More

I stayed here for a few days with some friends, we found the spot so relaxing we stayed an extra night! The owner is very accommodating and the rooms have a very light and airy feeling. At night you can hear the sound of the waves in every room of the hotel. I def plan on returning soon! More

I spent a week vacationing in Jaco, and was highly recommended by an acquaintance to stay at the Aparthotel Catalina. After my experience there, I would give the same exact recommendation to anyone planning a trip to Costa Rica. The owners, Sandra and Naomi, made me feel very comfortable during my stay, and were more than eager to help me... More

We stayed at the Hotel Catalina at the suggestion of friends who had stayed there before. They were in love with the Hotel Catalina from their previous stays and within minutes of being there my husband and I could see why. Naomi and Sandra make you feel comfortable and at home..as if you are at your home away from home.... More

For our first trip to Costa Rica, we could not have selected a better place to stay! We loved the proximity to Jaco - an easy 20 minute walk or $2 taxi ride, but on a quiet strip on the beach. It was lovely to sleep with the only sounds of the ocean lulling us to sleep. Naomi treated us... More

The more I travel, the more I appreciate Hotel Catalina. This is a very comfortable and friendly place to stay. The location in the southern end of Jaco is perfect - peaceful, quiet, tranquil and yet close enough to downtown to walk and take advantage of all the amenities. This hotel's location is key. You're sitting right on the beach... More

My family and friends and I just love the Catalina! My daughter and I have been visiting the Catalina for the last eight or nine years. It is right ON the beach; on the lovely and quiet south end of Jaco. This is a moderately priced accommodation which is extremely comfortable. The rooms are large, spotlessly clean, simply but fully... More
