POOL--Only eleven other villas share the incredible ocean-view infinity pool, which is likely the best pool in Guanacaste to enjoy the sunsets! The pool area also has an outdoor sink, prep area, grill, dining tables, lounge chairs, his-and-her bathrooms, and showers for our guests to enjoy.

The Villas Catalina community offers gated 24-hour security with onsite guards, infinity pool, poolside BBQ grill, and magnificent views of the Pacific Ocean and nearby beaches.

Very nice property
6 of us stayed here for 2 nights, we wished we spent another day in the Playa Flamingo area. This condo was a bit out of the more crowded touristy district which worked well for us, it was a short drive or Uber to bars, sodas and restaurants. The view was very nice, but not as spectacular as it is from condos higher up in the development, next time I might try and get a condo at the upper level. However, the pool was amazing and that's where we spent our time. I've been to the coast in many places and the view (especially the sunset view) from the infinity pool was as pretty as I have seen anywhere. Overall we were very pleased with the cleanliness and layout and would definitely stay here again.

This condo was amazing!!! Spotless, easy check-in and check-out. Fully stocked kitchen! Lots of space to hang out! The views from most bedrooms were incredible! We loved sitting on the deck and looking out over the pacific! Infinity pool is beautiful! The gate guy was helpful and friendly and Tony at Karin was very helpful! Great food in Potrero!!

Playa Potrero Dream
Villas Catalinas is located in a quiet and beautiful spot in Playa Potrero. It is within 10 minutes of walking distance to the local beach and is a 5 minute drive to the local town where there are a few restaurants and a super for purchasing groceries such as a limited selection of vegetables and fresh eggs. The rooms and open areas are well decorated and clean. The only staff we interacted with were the security guards at the gate who were super friendly and kept us safe during our stay. The infinity pool is a priceless view of the western coast and the Pacific ocean. You will enjoy your stay here.

Beautiful home with amazing views
The home is exactly how it is shown in the pictures. It has a fully equipped kitchen, which was really convenient since we cooked breakfast every morning. I would recommend this home.

Wonderful stay!
The unit, the view and the facilities were all as pictured. It really was about the view and this unit did not disappoint! The unit is tastefully decorated with everything you could possibly need. Krain, the managing real estate agency was thorough, prompt and professional in their communications. Every meal we ate out at one of the nearby restaurants was delicous and we enjoyed the beaches. Would not hesitate to return again

Beatiful sunsets
We very much enjoyed our stay in this home, was very clean and well equipped, although it would have been nice to have more then one little package of coffee for use. The views from the bedroom and patios were awesome and the sunset from the pool was amazing.
