Las Catalinas is not a resort, though it has many of the [familiar comforts and conveniences](https://thedaily.lascatalinascr.com/daily-november-8th-2019/), and Riefe found it unlike any town he had seen before. As Riefe explains, it did not take him long to realize the allure of Las Catalinas, and he spends the majority of the article detailing the many experiences available to visitors in town, ranging from outdoor experiences [on the trails](https://news.lascatalinascr.com/mtb) and [in the water](https://news.lascatalinascr.com/water-experiences) to town’s culinary offerings like [Copper & Stone](https://thedaily.lascatalinascr.com/daily-november-3rd-2019/), [Ponciana](https://thejournal.santarenahotel.com/a-look-at-ponciana), and [Sentido Norte](https://news.lascatalinascr.com/guanacaste-nights-2020). Riefe winds down by touching on the different ways to make town home, whether for the moderate term through [long term rentals](https://www.lascatalinascr.com/real-estate-listings#longterm) or the [homes and flats available for sale](http://lascatalinascr.com/real-estate-listings). In closing, he captures one aspect of town brilliantly. “The dirty little secret is that there’s just enough to keep you busy, but who wants to be busy?” You can read the whole article [here](https://theblog.lascatalinascr.com/hubfs/Coast%20Article.pdf), or below.   ![](https://theblog.lascatalinascr.com/hubfs/Coast%20Magazine%20Takes%20a%20Look%20at%20Ecoluxury%20in%20Las%20Catalinas-3.jpeg) ![](https://theblog.lascatalinascr.com/hubfs/Coast%20Magazine%20Takes%20a%20Look%20at%20Ecoluxury%20in%20Las%20Catalinas-1.jpeg) ![](https://theblog.lascatalinascr.com/hubfs/Coast%20Magazine%20Takes%20a%20Look%20at%20Ecoluxury%20in%20Las%20Catalinas.jpeg)   ## See related posts ## [An Identification Guide to Wildlife Around Las Catalinas](https://theblog.lascatalinascr.com/las-catalinas-animal-id-guide1) [ Las Catalinas and Guanacaste Wildlife Monitoring partnered to place and monitor motion-activated cameras throughout Las Catalinas’ tropical dry forest landscape.
