Everything.. we were only planning on staying for 7 days. Less then an hour being here we changed our plans for the rest of our stay in Panama and stayed here for 11 day. We travel many times per year around the world and I admit this location, property, staff and amenities are 10 / 10 exceptional. The staff upgraded us to a complete house. It was aprox 400 sq/ft equipped fully with full kitchen, king size bed, air conditioning and patio overlooking the ocean. Largest houses in the area and very clean. Couldn't have asked for anything better.

The room was clean and there was a nice terrace to chill in the evening. Shared kitchen was well equipped and also clean. There is a bar underneath the accommodation if you want to have a beer after a trip. Noise from the bar wasn't any problem for our sleep.

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.ClaudeFrance - 10Scored 10
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.JoeUnited States - 8.0Scored 8.0
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.RiikkaJJFinland - 10Scored 10
Santa Catalina is an extremely nice surfer town!
Santa Catalina is an extremely nice surfer town! It is definitely one of my favourite spots in Panama in general! It is more remote so if you are a solo traveler I would suggest staying in a social hostel. The people are friendly and it is a really nice town as a beginning surfer or advanced. And you should do the coiba tour!!! It is so beautifull, i have no regrets paying a little more for a tour like this.AAnonymous - 10Scored 10

One of the top places I've been to for scuba diving, I've been there a few times and I've seen whale sharks, bull sharks, white tip sharks, giant oceanic rays, cownose rays, eels, sea turtles, sea horses, frogfish, etc. Loved eating in Hotel Iguanito, Ai Mamita (in Villa Coco Hotel), and for breakfast: Café Panachocolat and Sugar Mamas. Not super easy to get around, you basically need a shuttle or car to go through the bumpy road. Once there, it's a bit hilly for the average walker/bike rider. If you stay in the intersection where all the dive centers are located, and you're there to scuba dive, then you're walking distance from everything you need.

- From £92.51 per night8.4Scored 8.4Very goodRated very good· 384 reviewsThe pool and the location are the best... there's nothing bad to say about the hotel actually. Everthing is really good and relaxing. Special thanks to the waiters Thiago and Javier, but to the entire restaurant and bar staff who were always very attentive and kind! If we can make a suggestion, the only thing the hotel could do more is in the restaurant's food dishes! They are delicious, but not beautifully presented. But is really delicious!!!!!!!! We will definitely come back soon!!!!!!
NIQUEEEUnited States - From £57.27 per night8.3Scored 8.3Very goodRated very good· 347 reviewsWe loved everything. The place is charming. This is a small hotel (perhaps 8 rooms) so it feels friendly and casual but everything is really nice and well appointed and clean - pool, hang out spaces, resauant. We ended up eating here two nights and the food delicious. Our room (featuring a private outside shower) was spacious and the beds comfy. The location was good for us. 10 min walk to the town, 15 min to the beach, and 5 min from restaurants.ChristineCanada
- From £57.27 per night8.3Scored 8.3Very goodRated very good· 347 reviewsStaff were super friendly & tried to help out where possible (sometimes English was a struggle, but we got through it with my broken Spanish). Beautiful infinity pool with gorgeous views (refreshing cool water!) 10 min walk into town through a path to the beach. 20 min walk to another beach (great for surfing or playing on the waves). Great happy hour (2-4-1) with delicious pina coladas from 1-6pm. Awesome sunset views.
