"Really good hotel an attention, but they charge you more if you use card, not good for a hotel , so take cash with you."

"Arguably the best hotel in Santa Catalina. Nice bungalows with AC and all comfort. Very beautiful grounds with great pool. Walking distance to village. Nice restaurant and very friendly staff. I would come back and recommend this property."

"Hotel Santa Catalina, recommended by San Blas Dreams, exceeded all expectations. The rooms are comfortable and clean, the staff is incredibly welcoming, and the location is peaceful and perfect for exploring the area. Everything felt effortless and relaxing, highly recommended for a memorable Panama getaway!"

"My room was $80 per night and for that price I would certainly hope for better accommodations. The room was extremely small, as well as the bathroom (you can sit in the toilet and brush your teeth at the same time since the sink is in oración your face). To add to the bathroom woes, every morning the shower wouldn’t drain. The kitchenette had no soap, only one fork and no spoon, although the room was for two people. There was never anyone in the office to ask for help. The mattress was horrible and worn out with permanent indentions (body slots). The lighting ****** everywhere. Overall the room reminded me of a jail cell. It certainly wasn’t worth $8o a night and probably no even half that amount. The only positive was the location which is right near “downtown “. But in that same location, there are far better places in town to stay. I’d pass on this one."

"The saddest part of the weekend… it ended and we had to return home. Tripadvisor only allows 5* rating, but in this case it should be 6*. I will not talk about the mágical environment, the food or the awesome rooms and staff… I just want to see again the sunrise,on the beach, in front of my “Beach Casita”…"

"Surfasana (surf & yoga) is a completely new facility and an outstanding value. The lodge is surrounded by nature, offering a peaceful, beautiful setting ideal for relaxation, meditation, and reflection. It has hot water (rare for the area) and air conditioning, and boasts stunning views. The property is only 800 meters (about half a mile) from the nearest beach—not 1,800 meters as sometimes stated. We will definitely return, but the true highlight of our stay was the host, Mauricio. He went above and beyond to make us comfortable, from helping organize a Coiba National Park tour to providing free bikes and expert local advice—especially for surfing. On request, he will also host “pasta nights,” and we had the best prawn and rigatoni dish in a long time for a very reasonable price. A special place made even better by an exceptional host."
