Wright that takes a look at the authenticity and realism of town. In the article, Wright speaks to an initial skepticism of Las Catalinas, which he expected to be yet another version of the beachfront resort that has found prominence throughout the world’s coastal regions.     Over the course of the article, Wright touches on the history of Town, as well as the elements he experienced that made it feel “plausible” with “a small town vibe”. There were no high walls, there was a mix of international visitors and locals, and to Wright, Las Catalinas felt much older than its 10 years. Wright also commented on the mix of shop owners and residents he met, concluding with a favorite interaction. “How often do you live here?” Wright asked a man working on his laptop on the beach. “As often as I can.”   You can read the article online at the [Wall Street Journal website](https://www.wsj.com/articles/a-costa-rican-paradise-made-to-order-for-travelers-1518635679), or below.     ![](https://theblog.lascatalinascr.com/hubfs/The%20Wall%20Street%20Journal%20Features%20Las%20Catalinas-1.jpeg) ![](https://theblog.lascatalinascr.com/hubfs/The%20Wall%20Street%20Journal%20Features%20Las%20Catalinas.jpeg)         ## See related posts ## [Coast Magazine Takes a Look at Ecoluxury in Las Catalinas](https://theblog.lascatalinascr.com/coast-magazine-las-catalinas) [ Coast Magazine’s Jordan Riefe explored Las Catalinas and the nearly 950 acres of natural landscape surrounding town in Guanacaste’s tropical dry forest zone for an article titled “Costa Rica Luxe,” which focused on the many interesting facets of life in and around town. ](https://theblog.lascatalinascr.com/coast-magazine-las-catalinas) [Read more](https://theblog.lascatalinascr.com/coast-magazine-las-catalinas) ## [Las Catalinas at PreCOP25](https://theblog.lascatalinascr.com/las-catalinas-at-precop25) [ Costa Rica hosted PreCOP25, a preparation meeting before the UN’s Framework Convention on Climate Change.
