Property was nicely situated and maintained. Rooms where spacious enough. The hammocks where nice but not perfect. Restaurant breakfast was good and very good cocktails.

The beds look very try good but unfortunately the matrassen are worn and it felt like you slept in a pit, not comfortable. The hammocks are a nice touch but in our case directly above a small wall and you had to be careful not to hurt your back. The pool looked great on the pictures but in reality needs a good clean. The manager/reception wasn’t very welcoming and asking things felt like a burden. No information about excursions etc when checking in or other information except about the room cleaning. All in all not bad but wouldn’t visit again.

This is a beautiful hotel, located in a cute, surfy town with easy access to Coiba. We absolutely loved our stay here. The owner and her team went out of their way to make us feel welcomed, and also helped us celebrate our daughter’s birthday. We stayed in the family room which is gorgeous…comfy beds, very effective aircon (much needed when we were in SC!), a good shower and handy kitchen facilities. The kids particularly loved the hammocks outside. The pool is stunning and we found the food in the restaurant excellent. Can’t recommend this place more highly!

Great location, great restaurant and pool, great staff. It is totally worthy! The rooms are spacious and clean, and it’s nice to chill in the amaca with the geckos and the iguanas. The staff is particularly friendly - ask them for tips and to book with a local tour to visit Coiba, you won’t regret it! There’s also a great selection of surfboards to get for free to try at the Playa el Estero.

Nothing, all nice

For us it was THE BEST place from all we had during our 3 weeks trip through Panama. The resort is quiet but within walking distance to the "donwtown", the whole place is beautiful and well maintained, the pool has tranquil view over the ocean, the food was great and the coctails as well:-) The double bed was huge (200x200 cm) and very comfortable. The bunk beds for kids were also fine.

Love this place and potentially the best in Santa Catalina! We love how complete the facilities are (the pool, the restaurant), the staff was also very helpful and the location is perfect - walking distance to restaurants, hangout spots in the area.

Nothing really - when we stayed there there were cockroaches in the bathroom (we're in nature after all :) ) , when we told the staff they immediately helped to get rid of them and block the hole so it was solved!

the large room/apartment, the very friendly and helpful personal, the uncomplicated booking of tours through the hotel, the food in the restaurant was delicious

the so-called "infinity pool" is a small pool not really made for swimming, the hotel is located at rocks about 700 m from the beach

I absolutely love this Hotel! The pool is beautiful overlooking the surf break in Santa Catalina. The landscaping is gorgeous, the hotel is authentic and the restaurant is wonderful. Stay for a week and really enjoy everything that Santa Catalina has to offer. Truly a wonderful hotel and surf destination.

Everything was wonderful. The staff was friendly and helpful. The room was clean and very comfortable. Great location in the town. The ability to have bikes, surfboards, and more available is an amazing amenity. The restaurant has a wonderful selection of food to choose from as well.

The pool had a nice view. I like that they had a yoga studio, and that they provided free bikes and surfboards. It’s not too far walking distance from Playa Estero where there is surf.

Santa Catalina attractions are kind of spread out so the hotel is a bit of a trek from the town center. There are no taxis so walking with your bags in the middle of the day is unpleasant. They provide bikes which is good but there are no gears and most of the brakes don’t work so it’s quite dangerous. Rooms are unremarkable and water pressure is iffy.
