The bungalow was absolutely beautiful inside and the views from the deck were magnificent! Even better than in the pictures. It was so lovely to sit on the deck in the morning with a cup of coffee. The sunsets right from the deck or pool area were just gorgeous. The space was incredibly comfortable and well equipped with everything our family of 4 could need. The kitchen was great to cook in. The kids loved playing in the pool, especially when it was lit up at night. Ricardo is an amazing host and extremely attentive to any needs. He also offered great advice on local activities. Santa Cantalina itself was a breath of fresh air and a great little hidden gem. A nice surf town with a laid back vibe that still feels very undiscovered by the masses. We enjoyed the beach and the snorkelling at Coiba was amazing. I would not hesitate to book this place! It far exceeded my expectations.. we did not want to leave!

    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. 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.

    Our recent stay Santa Catalina's Hideway was fantastic. We were there for one week and there was lots to do at the hotel or around. A big shout out to their amazing team. Special thanks to Nic, Joel and Olga who were very resourceful and made sure everything was great for our vacay. The chef and kitchen team were very knowledgeable with our daughter's coeliac (no gluten) condition. She had lots of options to choose from. With no dougt, we highly recommend this little gem which is great for family, friends and for romantic getaways.

    Without a doubt (one of) the best locations you will find in Catalina. The views from the garden + deck are unmatched. Very kind and warm staff, excellent breakfast and dinner. We had a great day trip to Coiba arranged via the hotel. Also, many restaurants within a short walking distance! Nice pool. But the biggest magic is the view, truly stunning and nothing short of paradise. Very happy to have stayed here.

    Santa Catalina is not very huge, so everything is next to the hostel - beach, supermarkets, even an ATM. The cabins are very comfortable, with its own bathroom and sitting area infront of the cabin. We could book a snorkeling trip to Coiba Island when we checked in. That was very comfortable and easy to handle (just cash). The Wifi quality is very good.
