Naomi and Sandra are lovely hosts (hostesses?) and we would never think to try another hotel when we return to Jaco. Which we will, every time we're in CR. This was our second trip. In fact, now that we own property in the south, a trip through Jaco is impossible to avoid. It's the stop at Hotel Catalina that we'll... More

Stay at the Catalina every year and have had many wonderful times with Sandra and Naomi.

Rooms are always clean too! Had some wonderful stays at the Hotel Catalina! Thank... More
