The Tiki Lodge is an amazing welcoming place ! It has just been opened in dec 2024 and everything is new. It has 5 individual lodges with a nice terrasse and a swimming pool area. Everything has been decorated with lots of taste by the owners. The matress is super confortable and the hot shower is just great ! There is a ceiling fan and a/c. And the two owners, Claudia and Yann are amazing host who are doing everything to feel you at home in this wonderful place !! They speak french and italian as well. It.s a very  calme place, ideal for couples and individual travellers, perfect for divers with two excellent dive centres near the beach (Scuba Coiba and Coiba dive centre). Tiki has its own restaurant and bar and the food is delicious. All the staff is super nice and helpfull !  No noise in the evening as the lodges are in the back yard and everything gets quiet anyways at 10 pm. Grazie Claudia, merci beaucoup Yann pour votre chaleureux accueil ! I had a wonderful stay at Tiki !

We had a wonderful stay at Rancho Estero with our family. Even though by European standards, facilities are not perfect, and there would be place for some minor reparations, especially in the bathroom and shared kitchen, the authentic setting, the warm hosting from Eli, and the proximity of the beach made our stay at Rancho Estero one of the best experiences throughout our Panama trip. But above all, are the surfing lessons with Zigor. Big thank you! We really loved every minute spent on the board (and near, and beaneath it :)), and feel we have advanced a lot in surfing. The kids still say that surfing with you was by far their best experience in Panama. Hope to come back some time.

Decent kitchen, the outdoor area was nice, location was perfect for the bus and nice and quiet at night. They did a laundry service that was 7.50 for a full load which worked out to be really cheap if you found people to share with. I stayed in the private hut for one night and that was really cute and comfy.

Good vibe, very social. Location is good - right across a fruteria and supermarket, 5 minutes to the close beach and about 20 minutes to the surfing beach. Fully equipped kitchen and lots of refrigeration space. The hostel offers shuttles and fairly cheap tours to Coiba

Top location right on the beach. If your budget allows, we recommend staying in the separate house overlooking the bay. It has the best view not only in the hostel but arguably, the whole of Santa Catalina. It also boasts air-co, two large beds and is super quiet. The guys running the place are very helpful and charming.

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.

Nice hostel with good vibes in a really beautiful location. You live in the jungle right next to the beach. The best thing is, that you have a private entrance to the beach. The well equiped kitchen was always very, very clean!

The location is unbeatable: very close from Santa Catalina main street (use the handy shortcut by the beach), and has amazing shared facilities, such as the pool and the nice bar and patio area. The budget twin room is literally just a tiny room with two beds, full stop, but it's a great deal because you will still have access to all the amazing share facilities. Staff is nice and helpful.
