What an amazing place! Can’t say enough good things about the property. The owner was very accommodating, the property was beautiful and clean and we could lay in our bed and see the ocean waves crashing down during this super moon high tide! Surfers were out there in large numbers having a blast. We had a long drive on the day we arrived and our host made us the best frozen margaritas that we have ever had! The town is small and friendly which was perfect. This property has an awesome pool that we had to ourselves every evening. If your looking for a clean, comfortable, romantic getaway… this place is it! Best place we went to in Panama!

Nice view and location near a great surf break. We rented the 1st floor apartment and it met our needs for space and spreading out. Rented an additional single room for our 2 boys to sleep, but we were all able to hang out in the apartment. The pool was nice and kept clean. Food at the restaurant was good.

What Guests Said About Santa Catalina:

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.JoeUnited States of America - 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.SandraPanama

- From $42.69 per night8.2Scored 8.2Very GoodRated very good· 787 reviews10/10 ⭐️ I had the best experience at Hostel Villa Vento Surf! The owners Steven & Daniel were extremely helpful and you can always have a laugh with them. Besides that the rooms, bathrooms, pool, and kitchen are getting cleaned regularly. There is enough space for guest to hang out, play games, cook, and socialize. Villa Vento is the place to stay at in Santa Catalina, if you want to get to know travelers, locals, and cuddle with Flocki. 🐶
ElisabethAustria - From $71.50 per night9.5Scored 9.5ExceptionalRated exceptional· 190 reviewsThis is a great home feeling place to stay in Santa Catalina. Only 3 rooms what makes it very familiar and not a big problem to share the toilet and the shower. The kitchen is very helpful to cook easy meals instead of going to restaurants. The view is amazing and you are surrounded by nature! Many local restaurants and mini markets around on a walking distance. We had a car but never needed to use it during our 3 days in Santa Catalina.FreixoPortugal
- From $55 per night8.2Scored 8.2Very GoodRated very good· 467 reviewsThe hotel is in an excellent location close to shops and restaurants. The bus stop is just outside. The cafe on the ground floor makes tasty food at reasonable prices, although a discount for hotel residents would be nice. Short walk to the town beach for sunset, and a longer 20-30 minute walk to a nicer beach for daytime activities. Rooms are generally clean, fresh and comfortable. Many staff are friendly and professional.JamesUnited Kingdom
