How do we rate a property?
We rate all our hotels, resorts, and lodges using our own bespoke grading system. We'll only invite a property into our collection once it's been assessed by one of our specialists. If it doesn't impress us, it doesn't make the cut.
From the quality of the food served in the restaurant to the amenities offered in each bedroom, we carefully rate each property to make sure it meets our high expectations.

About This Hotel
An elegant oasis inspired by a palette of people and places, Hotel Santarena is a bohemian pearl perched between two of Costa Rica’s loveliest beaches.
Cosmopolitan minds and curious spirits come together at Hotel Santarena, a place gracefully connecting and epitomizing “pura vida” – a life where people and wellness are top priorities and nature is cared for and enjoyed by all.
Sun-kissed days at this chic boutique hotel revolve around blossoming courtyards, timeless terraces and picturesque archways surrounded by lush greenery. One of Guanacaste’s best beaches, Playa Danta, is also just steps away.
Each of the 45 rooms feature crisp, linear design and contemporary touches throughout. Thoughtfully spread among four floors, all rooms feature king beds, sustainable wood floors and spacious bathrooms with a seasonal array of locally sourced amenities; most also boast private balconies as a dreamy perch to sip morning coffee or watch the sun slip into the Pacific.
As one of Latin America’s most exciting natural playgrounds, this corner of Costa Rica is also home to nearly 1000 acres of protected forest interlaced with extensive hiking and biking trails. This world-class mountain bike trail system make Las Catalinas the most prominent mountain biking destination in the American tropics. Trails are sustainably built and offer fantastic “flow” riding with dramatic ocean views and roller coasters. It’s heaven on two wheels. Or feet.
