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.

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 BGN 87.68 per night7.3Scored 7.3GoodRated good· 437 reviewsThe hotel is close to the beach and to the main road in Santa Catalina, has good parking slots, a supermarket a fee houses away, and at the corner a good café that opens 6:30 am and served good breakfasts. The apartment was comfortable, had 2 good single beds, a well equipped kitchen and fridge, and a bathroom (toilet was not working properly). Plenty of toilet paper and handy towels for snorkelling days. AC worked well. The hotel features a swimming pool that I did not use. Altogether good for the price.
SilvanaGermany - 8.9Scored 8.9FabulousRated fabulous· 181 reviewsThe location of the Ranch is absolutely wonderful. You are right on Playa Estero and you can enjoy the amazing view from the sun deck. Though at the farthest point in Santa Catalina, it is only a 10 minute walk to town and is close to restaurants and frutterias. There is a shared kitchen available for all guests, allowing you to prepare some of your meals instead of dining out constantly. The kitchen and its utensils are quite rustic and overused but are sufficient for what one would need on vacation.JessicaLebanon
- From BGN 99.41 per night8.4Scored 8.4Very goodRated very good· 1,032 reviewsOur stay at Bodhi was quiet nice! We slept in a so called "Tipi" but it was like a really small tiny house with an own bath. The community areas were also very nice and cosy. It is located in the "city centre" of Santa Catalina and very close to mini markets and tour provider for snorkelling or diving. Consequently it wasn't a surfer spot at all. All in all we enjoyed our stay at this hostel and we would really recommend this place to all, who love an relaxing place to be.UUteGermany

Did one day snorkeling tour to Coiba, which was amazing and they arranged it well, and the other full days we just stayed by the pool all day long, walked on the beach here and just enjoyed the hotel. Food in the restaurant was also amazing!! Thumbs up for the chef and the sweet ladies who served us. The room was clean and big, and we also saw crocodiles and a snake from our inside porch. Very fun experience, would love to come back someday!MelissaNetherlands
