Hoʻoulu ʻia e New Urbanism a me nā kūlanakauhale puʻu kahakai o ke Kaiwaenahonua, ke hoʻomau nei ke kaʻa ʻole o Las Catalinas i ke ʻano a me ka ulu ʻana mai kona hoʻomaka ʻana i ke kūkulu ʻana i ka makahiki 2009.
ʻO ke kaiāulu mua e kūkulu ʻia ma Las Catalinas, Beach Town, ke kokoke nei e hoʻopau ʻia a he kumu hoʻohālike no ka noho kaʻa ʻole a me ka hoʻolālā paʻakikī. Hiki loa ke kaona kahakai haʻahaʻa no ka poʻe hele wāwae, a ʻo kāna mau ʻano paʻa paʻa e paipai i ka pilina kanaka me ke kanaka. Ke hoʻomau nei ka ulu ʻana o kēia kūlanakauhale kahakai, ua hoʻohui ʻo Las Catalinas i kāna papa inoa eclectic o nā meaʻai a me nā mea inu a me nā makana kūʻai me ka wehe ʻana o kāna hale ʻaina hou loa ma Beach Town.
Ua wehe hou ʻia i ka hoʻomaka ʻana o Nowemapa 2022, ua hoʻokipa ʻo Beach Town ma Las Catalinas iā Papagayo Taphouse na Papagayo Brewing Co. Ke alakaʻi nei i ke ala me ka hoʻomau a me ka hoʻomaʻamaʻa hoʻomaʻamaʻa hoʻomau ma Costa Rica, Papagayo Brewing Co. e hoʻokūpaʻa ana i ke aniau a me ka moʻomeheu Guanacaste. Hoʻokahi wale nō kiola pōhaku mai ke kahua mokulele ʻo Liberia, ʻo kona wahi hae nui e hoʻopuka ai i nā pia hana haʻaheo "hechas en Guanacaste" (hana ʻia ma Guanacaste) a hoʻoulu ʻia e ka moʻomeheu kūloko a me ke aniau. Me ka manaʻo paʻa o ka pia hana maikaʻi e ʻoluʻolu e like me kona ʻono, ʻo Papagayo Brewing Co. ka pia e lawe ai mai ka hale kūʻai a hiki i kahakai. Hāʻawi ko lākou taproom i nā huakaʻi hui pilikino kahi mea ʻaʻole i hāʻawi ʻia e nā mea hana hana a pau ma Costa Rica.
ʻO kekahi o nā mea koʻikoʻi o Papagayo Brewing Co. ʻo ia ka Beach Lager (5%), kahi lager maʻamau maʻalahi; Tropical IPA (6.2%), ʻike ʻia no kona ʻono ʻono o nā hua ʻoluʻolu a me nā hops momona; ʻO Sour Gose (4.5%), he pia ʻawaʻawa keʻano Kelemania me ka paʻakai Himalayan ʻulaʻula a me ka hibiscus; a me ka Passion Fruit Ale (5.5%), he ale haikea gula me nā hua ʻai ʻai kūloko. Ua hoʻokuʻu wale ka hale kūʻai i kāna pia hou loa, ʻo ka Offshore Ale, kahi ʻale palaoa ʻAmelika me nā ʻōlelo pua a me nā hua citrusy. ʻO ka IPA Series kahi pūʻulu puʻupuʻu liʻiliʻi me ka lā hoʻokuʻu mua i Mei a me ka lua o ka hoʻokuʻu ʻana i ʻAukake o kēia makahiki.
No nā makahiki he nui, ua ulu mau ka craft beer boom ma ʻAmelika ʻĀkau, akā i nā makahiki ʻelima a i ʻole i hala aku nei, ua ʻike nui ʻia ka ulu nui o ka mākeke pia hana ma Costa Rica. ʻOiai ke hoʻomau nei ke kaona nui o San Jose i ke alakaʻi i ka hana pia hana ma ka ʻāina, ke hoʻomaka nei ʻo Guanacaste e ʻike i ka komo ʻana o nā micro-breweries liʻiliʻi i ka hana ʻana i nā breweries me nā menus hou a paʻa. Ma Guanacaste holoʻokoʻa, ke huki nei nā hale inu wai, nā lumi kīwī, a me nā mea kūʻai aku mai nā kuʻuna kūloko, nā meaʻai hou, a me ka wai Blue Zone e hana i ka pia e hōʻike ana i ka ʻāina Guanacaste o Costa Rica.
Hoʻohui ʻo Papagayo Taphouse i ka papa inoa e ulu nei o nā makana meaʻai a me nā mea inu ma Beach Town. Aia i loko o ka wahi e ʻākoakoa nui ai ʻo Plaza Mercado, nā wehe ʻē aʻe i kēia makahiki: Pots & Bowls, ka hale ʻaina kaulana i wehe mua ʻia ma ke ʻano he kaʻa meaʻai i ke kiʻekiʻe o ka maʻi maʻi e hana nei ma ke ʻano he hale ʻaina kū hoʻokahi a me kāna hale ʻaina kaikuahine hou aʻe. ʻO ka puka i kapa ʻia ʻo Pascual e hāʻawi ana i nā tapas mahiʻai-a-papaʻaina a me kahi koho nui o nā waina. Ua ʻike pū ʻia kēia kauwela i ka wehe ʻia ʻana o Coquelicot, kahi kaʻa meaʻai hoʻonaninani ʻEulopa e ʻike nui ana i ka ice cream a me ka waffles.
Ke nānā nei i ka hana ʻana i kahi ala maikaʻi o ke ola, ʻo ka New Urbanist philosophy e pili ana i ke kūkulu ʻana i nā poloka a me nā alanui hiki ke hele wāwae, nā hale a me nā kūʻai ʻana ma kahi kokoke, a me nā wahi ākea ākea a me nā paka e paipai i ka noho ʻana, ka hoʻomau ʻana i ke kaiapuni, a me ka hana hou. ʻO ka 21-acre Beach Town kahi pūnaewele ikaika o nā ala haiki, nā ala alapiʻi, a me nā wahi ākea ākea. Me kahi kokoke i nā hale a pau ma kahi plaza liʻiliʻi a i ʻole ka paka, ʻo Beach Town ke kākoʻo i nā waiwai koʻikoʻi o Las Catalinas ma o ka hoʻopili ʻana i nā kānaka, nā wahi, a me nā kamaʻilio pū ʻana ma ke ʻano maoli.
