Heredia, Costa Rica the Catalina Hotel is a great place to visit, I was there last August and I came with my family and we spend a great time the kids were very entertaining with all the activities available at the place, we enjoy so much the visit to the Poas volcano that is very close from the hotel, also we spend most of the time in the hotel due to there were activities to do at the hotel as well, we play tennis, table tennis and for the smaller kids there’s a playground and swimming pool, I think that is very good for the bird watching lovers, we waked up very early to walk around the gardens and there were many species of birds feeding themselves of the blooming plants, we stayed one week and it was great we eat very good, in the nights you can enjoy the heated swimming pool or just take a cocktail next to the fireplace we really appreciated to the whole Catalina’s staff for their attention, they were outstanding.

I stayed at the La Catalina Hotel with my husband and 2 young children (4 and 5 years old) We stayed for only 2 nights at the end of our trip before going to the airport. We had a day to kill and the staff were extremely helpful in organizing a private tour of a couple of popular sights for us. We ordered room service from the restaurant both nights after the kids had gone to bed. It was so delicious, everything was well presented and all this on our balcony overlooking the city and landscape. It was one of the most romantic moments of our lives. We used the pool one morning and it was very clean. Comfortable lounge chairs and pool towels for you convenience. Bathrooms were exceptionally clean! Our room was wonderful. Clean, comfortable beds/pillows, spacious, fully stocked minibar. The balcony overlooks the pool and landscape. We didn't venture out of the hotel except by taxi so not sure what else was around but I would definitely return to find out! I honestly can't imagine why anyone would give this hotel anything less than 5 stars.

My husband and I stayed at the Hotel La Catalina for the first few days of our honeymoon, left and went to a couple of other cities, and then came back for our last night in Costa Rica. Upon arrival at the La Catalina, we were greeted with smiling faces, kind words, and open arms. We were immediately taken to our top floor room with an incredible view of the whole city. Entering the room, an overwhelming sense of calm came over the both of us. The warmth of the ambiance was undeniable. The following day, the staff arranged for a driver and we took a private tour of the city, being sure to stop at the open markets, old train station, and of course a casino! The driver knew so much about the Costa Rican culture and was eager to answer any questions we had. He dropped us off at the Hotel in time for us to experience the cuisine the hotel has to offer. The beef carpaccio quickly became our “usual” appetizer and the service in the Restaurant was as impeccable as the food tasted. After moving on to two other seemingly comparable hotels within Costa Rica, my husband and I quickly found ourselves discussing the little details other establishments failed to recognize that the Hotel La Catalina had nailed. We absolutely fell in love with the staff at the Catalina and the accommodations. We felt like we were in our own secret hideaway and it was the perfect place to start, and then end, our honeymoon.

We stayed at this hotel for three days and for one night on our return. The hotel is beautifully decorated and furnished. With a big attractive garden. The pools were big enough for 'dipping', not suitable for serious swimming but still a welcome amenity with plenty of fresh towels available. The room was really spacious with a very comfortable bed, mini bar and coffee maker. We were really pleased with the service from the reception - they processed our exit visas for us on site which saved a lot of time at the airport. We did not eat dinner in the hotel, but the breakfast was excellent. Overall I really recommend this hotel.

This is a wonderful hotel. Is elegance is surpassed only by the staff, who are very gracious and accommodating. This hotel is a bit off the beaten path in a very nice area within Heredia called Birri. The high ceilings and staircases provide excellent ambiance. The rooms are well priced and the beds are very comfortable. We enjoyed evenings on the covered terrace with brilliant sunset displays. The restaurant is well known, the food is excellent, fresh and served with style. The hotel also provides a wonderful team of drivers which we found very friendly and accommodating as well. We returned there on our second business trip and will choose this hotel upon our return to the area.

We stayed here our first night in Heredia, before we headed out to the Pacific coast. We were surprised to find the hotel shuttle waiting for us outside the front doors of the airport. We weren't renting a car, so it was very convenient to hop on the shuttle and get to the hotel within about 25 minutes. The staff was very friendly, and the room was comfortable. We enjoyed the breakfast, which included all kinds of fruits, pastries, sausage, etc. There was a main thing that we were interested from hotel. The Internet service and it was great a great stay and I'd book here again.

I recently stayed at the La Catalina Hotel and Suites. I had a great experience all around. The staff goes out of their way to ensure you have everything you need. The breakfast is a typical Country breakfast with a few Costa Rican dishes (Great!). Beautiful swimming pools area and close to the airport. I will definitely return.

Despite arriving in Costa Rica close to midnight, we were greeted at the airport by shuttle driver who drove us to Hotel La Catalina. The great service and smiling face we received on that first night is something that would continue for the two weeks that we spent at the hotel. The rooms were incredibly clean on arrival, and were kept that way throughout our stay by the wonderful staff at this hotel. Breakfast was healthy and delicious every morning, and the opportunity to taste the various kinds of fruit available in Costa Rica was fantastic.
