Plaza Mercado 22, Las Catalinas - Condominiums for Rent in Playa Danta, Guanacaste Province, Costa Rica

We spent 5 nights here and tried hard to find a way to extend our stay. We didn’t want to leave! We loved Las Catalinas and this unit - the kitchen, appliances, furniture, even the dishes are quality items and we felt right at home. We practically lived on the balcony and my daughter enjoyed relaxing in the hammock daily. The location is so perfect - an easy walk to the beach club, restaurants and anything in town really. We would definitely stay again.

We loved staying here! It's right in the heart of town and walkable to everything! Wold come back!

Great place to stay in the center of Las Catalinas! Blue zone helped planned excursions and we enjoyed our stay. Our property was nice, clean and a great location!

This place  overlooks the courtyard of restaurants and activities. Further from the gym and beach club but they are a short walk. Beach is very close. All the buildings are so cute and such a nice community. There were monkeys in the trees which was so fun to see and watch. The only downside is the condition of the road leading up to Las Catalinas. It has tons of potholes. They were trying to fill and repair them the week we were there but looks like a chronic problem.

We had a wonderful stay in Las Catalinas. The condo was amazing either way great views of the ocean. I would highly recommend this place.

Private beach, beautiful views, very nice and welcoming community

Thank you for your kind review. We’re so happy to hear you enjoyed the private beach, beautiful views, and the warm, welcoming community atmosphere. Creating a peaceful and memorable experience for our guests is always our goal. We truly appreciate your feedback and hope to welcome you back again soon for another wonderful stay.

Just absolutely peaceful, lovely and exquisite accommodations!  Oh, yeah, we will return!

This was a lovely place to stay, and the Blue Zone Team was awesome! We had a little trouble with the AC in the Kitchen living area, which made it a little uncomfortable during the day as it was 95degrees outside, the part was on order for the repair. It is important to note that there are some steep stairs to reach the apartment home. Thankfully, Blue Zone offers luggage assistance. We loved this area! It was great for 2 couples as it has 2 king suites. That was a must for us!

Great location and super close to everything

stayed at Las Catalinas several times. Very convenient being on the Mercado by the restaurants - Really enjoyed our stay!

My family and I enjoyed it very much. Recommended.

Mi familia y yo disfrutamos muchísimo.  Recomendado.

Great location right in the middle of Catalinas, place with super nice bedrooms and all amenities! Would book again for sure!

Beautiful location and house, amazing place to relax and enjoy. Everything accesible just few steps from your door. Well decorated, clean and last but not least exc host.

Fantastic location in Las Catalinas! You can't beat the walkability to restaraunts, beach and hotel. The views from the balcony are great as well. Airbnb had everything we needed for a comfortable stay.  We had a fantastic trip.

The location was amazing.  We thoroughly enjoyed the beach and beach club restaurant.

The house is very nice and very well located, had everything we needed,  100% recommended

La casa muy bonita y muy bien ubicada, tenía todo lo que necesitábamos,  100% recomendable

This home has the best location in Las Catalinas. Very close to the beach and the center of action. We were also insulated from the construction noise. We would highly recommend it!

A beautiful experience for my family. The Blue Zone staff is amazing.

Great place in las Catalinas.  Right next to the restaurants and brewery with a very short walk to the beach.  We would stay here again.

This condo is fantastic!! Beautiful inside and the location cant be beat!! You are RIGHT by all the restaurants and beach entry! views of the water and trees and SUNSETS! You can hear the waves! Only downside is that you are right above the splash pad fountain so you will hear lots of kid noise but its not bad, and great for people watching. Overall the area was very quiet when we were there. Felt empty! Everything is quite expensive, but we loved all the food! The pool club is amazing- such a key addition to the stay! Also loved that the condo provides beach towels, chairs, and boogie boards- my kids LOVED boogie boarding! and its just a super short walk to the beach! Just gorgeous area- landscapes, beach, views! Condo was super clean and comfy and decorated so lovely. Has everything you need. We had a teen sleep on the couch and Id say curtains in that area would be a welcomed addition as there are none and it was very bright.

Our stay in Las Catalinas was first class. The Blue Zone team was very communicative and the apartment was spacious and fully set up for our family to have a comfortable stay. Las Catalinas offers a great home base to explore Guanacaste. Blue Zone went above and beyond to help us with a range of questions and requests during our stay.

Thank you for choosing our vacation rental.  We look forward to welcoming you back for another memorable vacation in the future! Pura Vida

Our stay was very nice. The location right in front of the beach was beautiful. The apartment is fully equipped  and nice decorated, the big terrace is a big plus.

Thank you for choosing our vacation rental! We’re thrilled to have been part of your getaway and look forward to welcoming you back soon for another unforgettable stay with Blue Zone Experience. ¡Pura Vida!

Great place and location.  Beach chairs, boogie boards, and cooler were nice to have.

We're thrilled you loved your stay at our vacation rental! Thank you for choosing us. Your satisfaction is our priority, and we can't wait to welcome you back to another incredible vacation with Bluezone Experience! Pura Vida

My husband and I had a great time during our 3 night stay in Mercado 22. The condo is even prettier in person than in the photos and was immaculately clean. Everything was so nice and well appointed . The bed, in particular was extremely comfortable. The ocean and sunset views from the large balcony were extraordinary. The restaurants at Las Catalinas were exceptional and the beach club pools were also great with a very fun vibe. We woke early each morning to enjoy the amazing hiking trails which begin just an easy walk from the condo. I can’t say enough about the incredible staff that take care of this place. We accidentally left a large sum of cash in the safe at check out which the housekeeper found and turned in to our co hosts, Kelly and Nikki. They contacted us about it and even delivered it to us the next day! They all went so over and beyond and we were totally blown away by their level of care. Hopefully we can come back sometime for another stay!

This spot is a must-stay! In my opinion, it was the best location you can stay in Las Catalinas! It’s right across the courtyard from great restaurants and a cafe, as well as the beach just right behind those restaurants. It’s extremely walkable (the whole town is) but getting to the beach club, market and beach was so easy. The condo itself is beautiful. Very well taken care of and has new appliances. The view from the balcony is amazing at sunset and it was so helpful to have beach towels, beach chairs, etc. to be able to use throughout our trip. If we find ourselves back in Las Catalinas we will absolutely be booking here again!

Our stay was cozy and with very comfortable beds and exceptional views of the ocean and the village of Las Catalinas.  The warm weather was a welcomed break from the cold of the Northeast.  We got into a routine of enjoying the beach club gym, pool, and hot tub (with jets).  The views from trails we hiked are gorgeous. The positive vibe from everyone we met was uplifting. Our biggest complaint is that’s it’s so hard to leave paradise. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful home.

Thank you for your amazing review of your stay with us! We're thrilled that you had a fantastic experience at our vacation rental. Our team works hard to provide exceptional hospitality, and we're delighted that we exceeded your expectations. We look forward to hosting you again for another remarkable getaway!

Overall enjoyed our stay. Felt like it might have been a bit overpriced especially during the rainy off season. The beach was a bit dirty. Everyone was extremely nice. The place offered great things like beach accessories, plenty of towels, and overall cleaning supplies (laundry/dish washer soap etc).

Excellent location, the apartment is just as you can see in the photos, super comfortable and bright. We had an amazing stay. We will be back! Nicole was an excellent host, very attentive and good communication. Highly recommended!

Excelente ubicación, el apartamento es tal cual se ve en las fotos, super cómodo y luminoso. Tuvimos una estadía increíble. Volveremos! Nicole fue una excelente host, muy atenta y buena comunicación. Súper recomendado!

Nos alegra mucho que hayas disfrutado tu estancia en nuestro alojamiento vacacional. Gracias por elegirnos. Tu satisfacción es nuestra prioridad, y estamos ansiosos por recibirte de nuevo para otras vacaciones increíbles con Bluezone Experience. Pura Vida

Amazing attention from everyone , from Nicole our host, to Randall the button… Unbeatable place and residence. The super equipped house, we could not ask for more.

Atención increíble de todos , desde Nicole nuestras host, hasta Randall el botones… Lugar y residencia inmejorables. La casa súper equipada, no podíamos pedir más.

The unit was clean, comfortable and spacious. The view from both the terrace and the master bedroom was much better than the pictures which was a nice surprise. I’ve never rented an apartment/condo that had so many amenities provided. We were able to cook and eat most of our meals in the unit; if we wanted take out or dine-in it was right across the plaza. While the central location was convenient, it could be loud and feel a bit exposed, especially when on the terrace during the daytime. There is also a preschool next to the unit, so take that as you will. Also, the ongoing construction in Las Catalinas has made the area prone to power outages. We experienced 2 during our stay. Our assigned concierge, Nicole, was fantastic and responsive. However, we experienced a few logistic issues with transportation and activity execution that the travel provider and owner, Blue Zone, was supposed to facilitate. If you book through them, be patient and proactive in communicating.

The property was amazing! Danita beach was definitely our favorite ❤️ the condo was Close to the beach and near all the restaurants at Las Cantalinas. The management company was super responsive. I highly recommend!!

Alejandro's condo is prefectly located. The unit is on the top floor overlooking Plaza Mercado, shops and restaurants, with the beach just beyond. We really enjoyed sitting on the deck in the mornings with coffee watching the village come to life, seeing the monkeys playing in the trees and watching and listening to the waves on the beach. We highly recommend Pura Vide Ride- we rented mountain bikes there and they gave us great advice on what trails to ride. A bonus is the connected coffe shop- the Grind. Pure heaven sitting outside the shop in rocking chairs, with a latte and fresh baked blue berry muffin. We recommend the bar at Sendito Norte for drinks at sundown, but not so much for the restaurant. The food was mediocre and over priced. You are better off having happy hour there and dinner in the village. We highly recommend Celeste. Food and service were excellent.

We're thrilled you loved your stay at our vacation rental! Thank you for choosing us. Your satisfaction is our priority, and we can't wait to welcome you back for another incredible vacation! Pura Vida

Beautiful place! location within las catalinas was amazing just above the main center made it very easy with small kids. Easy to get around, never needed a stroller with 1 year old. The condo had everything you need and was very comfy! Would recommend getting some groceries on the way before getting into the town if that’s possible. The grocery store on site is a great option but can add up. The kids pool was closed under construction which was unfortunate during our trip and we weren’t aware of. Other than that we were very happy!

I stayed here with two friends and my husband after a retreat and it was THE BEST place to integrate. The beach, restaurants, and hiking trails are just steps away, and the space is absolutely beautiful. Everything we wanted and needed was available. The beach is beautiful, highly recommend the sunsets and moon rises. I would stay here again. Thank you so much! We loved your place and Las Catalinas!

We had a wonderful stay, and enjoyed the beautiful view from the patio. It was a 10/10 from beginning to end! Highly recommend!!!

We had a great time! A very cozy place, very clean and in a great location! Always very attentive, with quick and fluid communication helping us with whatever we needed! We hope to return soon!!

La pasamos excelente!! Un lugar muy acogedor, muy limpio y con muy buena ubicación! Siempre muy atentos, con una rápida y fluida comunicación ayudándonos en lo que necesitáramos! Esperamos regresar pronto!!

Muchas gracias por hospedarse con nosotros. Estamos muy felices de escuchar que todo resultó de acuerdo a sus expectativas.  Esperamos recibirlos de nuevo muy pronto, hasta entonces... ¡Pura Vida!  Blue Zone Experience Team

Thank you so much for your stay.  We are looking forward to having you back with us soon., until then...Pura Vida!  The Blue Zone Experience Team

Alejandro’s property was clean, comfortable and surrounded by beautiful landscape. The villa was well equipped . The beds were comfortable. We enjoyed our stay very much and would stay again. My only complaint: we wanted to make some blended drinks but the blender did not work. I reached out to Diego ( our concierge) and he said he would check into it but we never heard back. The coffee pot did not work well either, otherwise it was a very beautiful stay.

Thank you so much for your stay. We are deeply sorry for the inconvenience with the appliences, we have inspected the condo after your depart and it seems to be ok.  We are looking forward to having you back with us soon in this or any of our units, until then...Pura Vida!  The Blue Zone Experience Team

Everything about our stay at Las Catalinas was perfect! Diego was super attentive and helpful. He even organized an all day rainforest and sloth tour at the last minute. Top notch service!
