“Hotel Catalina Beach Resort, with its privileged spot on Playa La Ropa, has history and views that are captivating. The location is superb, of course, but a stay here also requires a tolerance for rustic qualities and a willingness to navigate many stairs; for some, the views and beach access are ample reward. It's a property with personality, attracting return guests who value its quirks as much as its setting.”
