I can highly recommend Casa Manila if you are looking for great Hostel in Santa Catalina. So let me start of with the location. You are located right at the ocean and have stunning view over it. You are perhaps only 20 meters away from the pacific and can take a dip whenever your heart desires. It’s truly the dream location for a hostel. The owners are even more amazing. Pia and Kike are always looking out for you if you are having a great time and are so friendly and polite doing so. The kitchen has some great equipment, especially a strong stove. The rooms are amazing and there is nothing to complain about. All in all I am very happy with my choice, so much so that I extended my stay multiple times

The room and bathroom were spacious and spotless. I loved the hammock outside the room. The coffee in the morning is a nice touch. Wifi was excellent throughout the property and common areas. Staff were helpful and friendly. The location right at the beach is great, and there are nice common areas to sit and relax. The little cabana overlooking the beach would be amazing if you can snag that.

The host was very helpful and nice! She shared useful info with us and was very accomodating and went above and beyond (for example, she stayed about to wait for our lost luggage when we hadn't arrived yet and let us borrow beach towels). The room was clean and quiet and there was good AC.

Stephen

From

United Kingdom

Incredible location. Throwing back the curtains each morning, the surfers (often including Ricardo - the owner) were out in the waves off the point. What a view for breakfast! Bungalow was beautiful and well looked after. Ricardo and his wife could not have been nicer or more helpful- they made our stay truly memorable (including the fabulous margaritas!), and left us more knowledgeable about Panama and with many stories to tell.

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.

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.
