Wonderful rooftop views. Short walk to the beach. Unfortunately someone from staff rifled through my luggage while in the hotel room and stole $100USD (not passports thankfully). Cash was not in the room safe so partly my fault. But something travellers should be aware of as it otherwise seems like a classy hotel. ##### Daniel Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Duane Aug 26, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Amazing staff. Relaxing stay even with a major Xtrerra event going on. ##### Duane Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Maria Jul 14, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities This is a beautiful property with about six restaurants in it. We very much enjoyed our stay at Santarena. A few drawbacks were that since the hotel is kind of secluded, we did not have many options for shopping, and the restaurants were quite over priced. ##### Maria Stayed 6 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Taylor Apr 23, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Beautiful property and location in Las Catalina’s, surf shop, beach and restaurants out your doorstep.
