Oceanfront Luxury 2BR • Las Catalinas

Step through the tall blue doors of the Santiago apartment into a breezy veranda draped in bougainvillea, where you can enjoy your morning coffee with the soothing sound of the ocean. A short walk down the cobblestone street takes you to the Beach Club with its inviting pools, or you can follow a nature path directly to the Pacific Ocean, just steps away. Welcome to Posada San Rafael, a charming seaside retreat like no other.

Santiago’s private oceanside entrance opens into a space that blends history with modern comforts. Hand-carved furniture, antique artwork, and wood-loomed textiles evoke the spirit of a colonial seaside town. This two-bedroom luxury apartment features family-friendly touches, like games to enjoy around the Guanacaste dining table on the terrace with a beach view.

The master bedroom boasts a romantic four-poster king bed, with a full ocean view visible as soon as you open the doors. A wall of glass doors leads directly to the beach, bringing the sounds of the surf indoors. Antique columns, hand-hewn beams, and repurposed 100-year-old water jars create a timeless atmosphere. The ensuite bathroom, carved into stone and illuminated by natural light from above, adds an enchanting touch to your routine.

The second bedroom is a fun family-friendly adobe bunk room with two twin beds and two double beds, each with its own reading light and outlet. The bathroom features a rain shower and dramatic lighting that highlights the intricate tile work and old-world charm. A small kitchenette with a refrigerator, microwave, and stovetop makes it easy to prepare simple beachside meals. Beach towels and chairs are provided for a perfect day at the beach, just a 15-second stroll away.

Santiago’s prime location puts you just steps from the beach, where you’ll find complimentary towels, bags, and chairs. Our house staff ensures your suite remains fresh and comfortable throughout your stay, so you can simply relax and enjoy.

You also have access to the exclusive Beach Club, located just four doors down, with three pools, a fitness center, a restaurant, and a bar. For water sports, Pura Vida Ride, a 3-minute walk away, offers rentals for paddle boards, kayaks, and bikes to explore the surrounding trails. Las Catalinas' renowned trails provide breathtaking views and unforgettable experiences. Our concierge service can arrange activities, from reservations to excursions, ensuring your stay is filled with special memories.

Whether you’re gazing at the ocean from your room or watching the sunset reflections dance on the courtyard walls, the Santiago apartment is a hidden gem on the black sand shores of Playa Danta.
