Staff was great Property needs better care. A lot of outside chairs haven't been cleaned in a while. No way we would sit on those chairs. Facilicities need more maintenance, as you can tell that it is deteriorating with time. No hot water. Water pressure was nice on the bathroom sink, but very slow from the shower head.

The location was great- walkable to both Playa Estero and town. Sherlley was present during our stay, and was super helpful, knowledgeable, and kind. The rooms were as pictured and very comfortable. It was a great bargain and we highly recommend it!

    Funky surfer world with good restaurants.

    Funky surfer world with good restaurants. Feels like real Panama. Pleasant and relaxing except for the last 20k driving on the rough gravel road under heavy construction (Feb 2025). Once finished it will be great. Difficult drive at dusk and after dark with people on horseback. No gas station in town so be sure to fill up when on Hwy 5 in Sona or at the one Delta station about 1/2 way to Santa Catalina.

    Santa Catalina is a lovely little village.

    Santa Catalina is a lovely little village. The atmosphere is relaxing, people are friendly and it’s a nice place to hang out. The snorkeling and diving at Coiba island are impressive and gorgeous. A definite must!!

    Santa Catalina is an interesting place.

    Santa Catalina is an interesting place. If I were younger and a surfer, it might be awesome. At this stage it feels like it is still the frontier, the “wild west” of Panama. It is obviously super popular with the crunchy backpacker and surfer crowd, and judging by the development taking place (golf course down the road), it will soon be popular with the expats and gringos as well.

    Good place to have a day trip to Coiba, we did an excellent snorkelling tour with Watching Dolphins. Playa Estero is very pleasant for a lazy afternoon ( but better with a car!). Some pleasant restaurants in the village : We liked lodge bar and restaurant, very good and friendly. Very disappointed by Los Penguinos, beautiful view and nice for a drink, but very very very long service. There is an ATM near the Pharmacia and supermarket.

    I’ve been to Santa Catalina about 9x in the last 15 yrs.

    I’ve been to Santa Catalina about 9x in the last 15 yrs. It’s clearly a place I enjoy. I’m there for the diving. If you go there to dive you should visit Isla Coiba … it’s world class. Of course you also have surfing, kayaking, fishing, walking on the beach or just relaxing at your hotel pool. Highly recommend getting out and enjoying one of the many restaurants. I also really like the people, who I find friendly and hard working. Hangout by the beach at sunset and you’ll find locals & tourist playing volleyball or just sitting over a cold beer enjoying the view.

    Santa Catalina is quiet surf town.

    Santa Catalina is quiet surf town. During the day, most of the restaurants were closed. There are two beaches, the nicer one is Estero beach, which is good place to surf, even for the beginners. You can do snorkling trips, diving, surf or kayaking to the Santa Catalina island, where the beach was great and water clear.

    I really enjoyed my stay. The room was comfortable, and the staff was exceptional. The manager and receptionists were incredibly helpful, and the waiters were all very friendly. The restaurant offered several delicious vegan dishes, with the grilled cauliflower being a standout. The outdoor pool area provided a beautiful view of the sea. While the location isn't in the heart of Santa Catalina, it's conveniently close to the nicer of the two beaches.

    Fantastic location at the beach. About a 20 minute walk from Santa Catalina. Although this walk is during the daytime very hot and exposed to the sun. With, hopefully in the near future, improvements this could be a top location.
