The fine print

Must-know information for guests at this property

**Construction Notice**

Las Catalinas is steadily progressing towards becoming one of Costa Rica’s most delightful beach towns. As the community continues to expand, various construction projects are underway across town to introduce new amenities and services, enhancing the experience for all visitors.

The Development team makes great efforts to minimize the effects of construction on guests, however, we cannot guarantee that absolutely no activity will be visible or audible due to the variable nature of construction. No changes, refunds, or discounts will be provided due to construction.

Guests are required to show a photo ID and credit card upon check-in. Please note that all Special Requests are subject to availability and additional charges may apply.

Please inform Santarena Hotel at Las Catalinas of your expected arrival time in advance. You can use the Special Requests box when booking, or contact the property directly using the contact details in your confirmation.
