Notice of Construction in Progress
Las Catalinas is on its way to becoming one of the most enjoyable beach towns in Costa Rica. As a growing community, the town has exciting new projects underway that will continue to enhance amenities, activities, and rental and ownership options for guests and future neighbors.
The town developer makes great efforts to minimize any possible disturbances due to construction. Due to the variable nature of these developments, we cannot guarantee that no activity will be visible or audible during your stay.
While we are hopeful that town development will have little to no impact on your stay, we are unable to offer room changes, discounts, or refunds due to construction at this time.
Each listing includes a specific notice outlining the expected level of impact, so you are fully informed before your visit.
