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, we have new exciting projects underway that will continue to add amenities, activities, and rental and ownership options to our guests and future neighbors. We make great efforts to minimize any possible disturbances due to construction but we cannot, however, guarantee that no activity will be visible or audible due to the variable nature of construction. While we are hopeful that this will have little impact on your stay with us, unfortunately, we will not be able to provide room changes, discounts, or refunds due to construction at this time. Construction hours are as follows:
- 6 am -7:30 am: Construction may begin with workers required to speak in low voices and no power tools are allowed.
- 7:30 am - 6 pm: Normal construction.
- 6 pm - 9 pm: Construction may continue, with workers required to speak in low voices and no power tools are allowed.
