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.

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.

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.

You can pay by visa or bank transfer. There are no banks in Santa Catalina.
intended to come only for two nights. in the end I stayed one entire week jn Bodhi. The hats as well as the hostel itself are well equipped. however, it’s the unique atmosphere what’s makes this place special. the hotel manager Adrian and it’s Team are more than friendly and make you feel home right from the beginning. dive schools and restaurants are close by. will definitely return
Incredible location, we loved sitting in the hammocks and watching the sunset. No better view in Santa Catalina. Great aircon in the rooms and very clean with towels provided. Great access to town and the beach. Kitchen was basic but functional and worked well. The host was so helpful and friendly, we loved meeting the pets and we used the laundry service which was speedy.
The rooms are very clean and neatly decorated. Clean and spacious communal kitchen as well. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The location is great, some cute cafés and restaurants nearby, plus Santa Catalina beach where coiba expeditions start. Estero beach is a 20 minute walking distance
This is a very calm and quiet place to have a holiday. The bamboo huts are quirky and very comfortable. And the place has the best sushi! This is a very nice place to spend for a few days in Santa Catalina - if you prefer peace and quiet. It’s a 15 minutes walking distance to town..
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.
Great location in the village, right over the beach. I loved the hammocks around the property too.
The guy who was working there was really friendly and helpful.
The wifi worked well.
Shared shower and bathroom facilities were always clean.
The hotel is located in the center of the village, and close to everything you'd need. The rooms are comfortable, the deck has a really nice seating area and the restaurant below is one of the best in town! Good price value!
Very nice located just next to a beautiful beach :-)
A little outside of town. The rooms are nice and have everything you need. Nice and kind staff who is working at the hotel. They have delicious food at the restaurant.
Central location for visiting Santa Catalina, just off main(only) road easy walk to beaches and other shops and resturants . Dinner at thier resturant was excellent. Owners were very friendlyand helpful.
Beautifully clean room and amazing outdoor shower. The restaurant food was delicious and top quality. We borrowed bikes to cycle into Santa Catalina but it is not far. Really lovely place to stay.
I enjoyed my time here! You really can't beat the location - walking distance from beaches, food/drink (Breast.. That Included Free). The staff were very friendly and I had no issues whatsoever.
Beautiful view from the reception where you can have a beer with a view.(unless it rains and then it's all over the porch).
There's a cute cat.
Theres a shortcut to the Santa Catalina beach.
overall the hotel and pool area were nice, staff was friendly and helpful, included bicycles were nice to use to bike to other parts of the town easily. room was quite large as well.
The property was a steal for the price. It was comfortable and clean. It was very close to Panama Dive Center which is why we went to Santa Catalina. Overall a pleasant experience.
Food was nice and was very clean. Its in the middle of the town, close to all scuba diving centers and other nice restaurants for the type of town Santa Catalina is.
