Wonderful property and Las Catalinas is amazing. Would love to see more chairs on the shared balconies, and fans in the bathrooms. But those are nit picky, and the rest is excellent.

If you would like a relaxing vacation by the beach, this is the place to stay beautiful location, beautiful rooms. The service was outstanding. They have a number of restaurants to choose from last night. We had a barbecue on the beach, which was excellent. You can get a golf cart to go to a restaurant that’s nearby so you don’t need to have a car for that. It’s about 45 minutes from the big city beach. I would definitely come again.

The beach and the surrounding area are absolutely beautiful but the town is so small and has nothing for you to explore. We ate breakfast at the hotel and it was fine. It was a buffet but I feel like for the price you pay to stay there, the breakfast buffet should at least be included. They have a nice, short beach that was lovely to hang out on or go paddle boarding/kayaking and a hiking trail next to the property with a couple of options for hiking (I liked this). Because this place is tiny and your dining options are limited, everything is really expensive. I would only stay here for 1-2 nights.

Liked: Amenities
I really loved the property and staff. Everyone was great and very accommodating, especially the front desk guys. I have to say that dining was expensive and the hotel doesn’t provide the basics like bottled water, robes/slippers, vanity kits etc. The hotel also didn’t provide loungers by the beach. I paid $25 for a chair for the beach for a few hours. The hotel needs to provide more for the price they charge. I wouldn’t say this is a 4 star as far as the amenities available but the service is 5 star.

We might have to go here every year! This is one of the most exceptional locations we’ve been to thanks to the upscale villas surrounding the town and the general beauty of Las Catalinas. The concierge desk was like having personal assistants to any requests to arrange transportation or reservations at other local restaurants or adventures. The staff were very accommodating in every way. Every time you ask for something the reply would be “it’s my pleasure…” All the staff were bilingual, the room was spacious and comfortable, modern and well appointed. We loved walking out of our room right onto the beach where you have plenty of amenities if you choose to indulge in beach sports or leisure. Highly recommend and can’t wait to return.

Hayley

The rooms are so loud. We asked for quiet rooms and were placed next to the coffee shop on the busiest walk way. There’s construction noise starting early every morning so sleep was difficult. The property is beautifully designed and decorated but other than that, it’s not worth the expensive room rates.

Nader El

Nice, clean and charming. Not much option for dining and shopping. area around the place is a construction site with dirt, dust, noise and daily limited access having to wait an average of 10 minutes every time leaving or coming back to the hotel which was very inconvenient and takes away the charm and at some time is frustrating especially when we had to be at certain place for a tour. Streets are full of pot holes even in street very near the hotel which could have been fixed to make the ride less stressful. For those above reasons unfortunately I don't recommend this hotel in that area.
