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!

The location is spot on! Exactly where u want to be when you are in Santa Catalina. The staff is really nice and always trying to help. Renting surfboards is cheap (mostly softtops) and you walk to the beach really easily.

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.

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 stay at Adama Eco Farm was super lovely. The Hosts were as kind as can be and it felt like a second home to us. The cabins are super clean and there's everything you need in the cabins. At night the frogs will sing you a concert so it's easy to fall asleep. The area felt safe all the time and you can walk in about 15 min to the beach of Santa Catalina. Overall we're extremly happy we stayed at the Eco Farm and want to thank Maryan and Dror for being so kind and caring!

This is a remarkable location. A jewel in Santa Catalina. We fell in love with it from the very first moment of our stay. Magnificent pool bar, big garden, open space outdoor restaurant and some other things. It is very well taken care of. We have come to Santa Catalina in order to get to Coiba. We, however, felt we could have stayed in Bambuda far longer than our 3 nights....

We really enjoyed our stay at Vista Coiba. It is a very relaxing place and the view is so nice. We borrowed paddle boards and went to the small island Santa Catalina. We also borrowed body boards and went body boarding at the surfingbeach (15 minutes walk). The hostess was very friendly, sweet and helpfull.

Location is fabulous if you appreciate the fantastic view and the surfer beach right at it and if you don’t mind to be a bit away from the village with its restaurants and bars. The cottages are new and in excellent shape, comfortable mattress. You can rent surfboards and even get surf-lessons.
