Santa Catalina is a small quaint fishing town with maybe 300-400 people (my guess). Really only two paved roads- the main entry and then one that branches off to the left at the "general store-tienda". There are a few semi-improved gravel roads that spur off the second paved road with accommodations, and restaurants and great views of sunsets. Life is really laid back, surrounded by nature. Majority come for surfing and diving to Coiba Island or to Zen-out. Small beach accessed boat "launches" are used for diving. Be advised that travel is ~1.5 hours or less to marine reserve. These are not comfort boats like you find in Cozumel. What you do get is a Great aquarium, especially if you are a diver looking for aquatic sea life. Coral is macro photography. This is the Pacific and formations are rock, not Caribbean coral with small fish (although what is there is healthy). Large pelagics are the draw. Plenty of reasonable restaurants with really fresh seafood. I can highly recommend Juan & Kris (Spanish/French owners). Kris makes great cocktails and Juan is a truly superb cook and they are great people. The first restaurant immediately after you make a left at the general store. About 10 red brick stairs to an open area. You will not be disappointed. Make sure you have your medicines/first aid etc- no medical, doctors, pharmacy etc (they say a pharmacy is on the way- when???)
It is a very small town. There are several restaurants to choose from, but unless you are a surfer there is not much here except excursions to fish, dive, snorkel, etc. Not a great place to swim or lie on the beach.
Interesting diving with Panama Diving. Beaches are not very attractive. People are very friendly and prices reasonable. All in all worth visiting for a couple of days if you are a diver. Beware: water gets really cold ~20C Pinguino restaurant on the beach has great simple seafood and chilled drinks.
This is a really cool surfer town, albeit in the middle of nowhere at the end of a difficult road. There are lots of excursions offered for adventurers, and lots of relaxing little restaurants and bars. I would NOT recommend driving yourself unless you have a good truck or SUV and are familiar without panamanian roads. Still, the overall relaxed and friendly atmosphere was unique to the town.
Great place if you are really into diving or snorkeling as you can go to Coiba from here. Also a great place to surf. If you are not interested in those activities, spend your time going somewhere else. There is not much else in the town besides the beach.
Santa Catalina is surfing/diving village. It is really designed for people who want to do snorkeling, diving, surfing, kite surfing etc. In Santa Catalina you can find many schools for diving and surfing and there is easy boat connecting to Isla Coiba

Excellent experience! Definitely the best location in Santa Catalina. Crossing the river at night was a bit adventurous, but well worth it. The staff was very friendly, the food at the restaurant was incredible and if they hadn’t been booked for the holiday we may have stayed forever. We enjoyed checking the surf conditions from our bed, hanging out in the hammocks, and booked an excellent dive trip at the reception desk. Even the local dogs and cats were cool. Highly recommended.
The staff was very helpful and friendly! Guests can use the free stylish bikes to go to the town or beach. The rooms have upper hotel standard and the shower is outside in the middle of tropical plants, awesome! The area around the infinity pool is just amazing! The restaurant 'Ai Mamita' serves a wide variety of local and seafood dishes, #ChefTuza will cook you an unforgetable meal! This was the best stay in our 3 month journey.
Amazing place!! Francesco built and created such a cool space out of bamboo. Great friendly staff and vibe. Lots space to relax chill in the lush tropical yard. Also a fantastic chef, the sushi restaurant is incredible and fresh fruit cocktails can't be beat. I stayed 2weeks and came back for a 3rd. I recommend this place to everyone. By far the best hostel I've ever stayed at in years of travel.
Coiba House is one of the most amazing houses we have ever been to. The view on the beach, all those animals, the fresh breeze, the sound of the waves and the amazing sunsets made the two nights we could stay here to a really great axperience. The host is wonderful and we felt like at home. We sure want to come back and would again just stay here in Santa Catalina!!!
Great, great, great!! We booked for 3 nights and if we had known in advance, we would have stayed at least a week! Santa Catalina is amazing and to be able to stay at a place as Sol y Mar, adds even more value to your experience. Luís, Adriana and their kids are wonderful and very helpful with everything that you need to take the most out of your stay!
Great location, minutes walk from the beach and dive shops. The dorm room is really well set up- each bed has a lamp, curtains, power socket and a locker. The bed itself was very comfortable. There is also AC in the dorm room. The curry mayonnaise sauce that comes with chips and burger in the restaurant is AMAZING!!
Best Hostal in Panama so far. Everything is clean and the location is just the best in Santa Catalina, just next to the beach with tremendous Sunsets . Lovely family owned hostel with great Vibes! I'll definitely come back soon. Muchas Gracias to Rolo and his family!
Very close to peaceful beach I had enjoyed morning and evening at the beach. Water pressure was good. And I love all the structure in hotel. It is impressive. If your trip style is just relaxing, Hibiscus Garden will be best place.
The owners were extremely nice, helpful, and accommodating. The hotel was located about 30 seconds from the dive shop I went out to Coiba with and is central to everything in town.
The hotel is family run so we really felt part of the family. Location is great, right on the beach and the restaurant looks over it.
Location is freat, restaurants and mini market close by. Close to both beaches. Very kind people attending
Very nice, a peaceful place with beach front. Service was very kind and warm. I fully recommend it.
Great location and very comfortable. The restaurant is good but pricier than other places in town.
Nice view to the surf break and the beach, good restaurant, nice pool area
The cottage was very nice - kitchen with dinning area, two rooms, bathroom - very clean and cozy. The host was very friendly and helpful - she helped us arrange a tour to Coiba Island. There is a number of good restaurants nearby.
