The place was clean and quiet. I stayed in the hotel area with the pool, and it was a great experience. The owners and staff were helpful, and the food at the restaurant was excellent.

Amazing location and service at villa coco. When we arrived from a long ride we got a nice drink. Our luggage were carried to our room. The room is spacious and there is outdoor shower. The food in Villa coco is amazing. The breakfast, lunch and dinner were amazing, there was nice music in the restaurant. Therefore we only ate in Villa coco. The swimming pool is super nice, I think the best in Panama of all the locations I have been. The beds at the swimming pool are very comfortable, so you can sunbathe the whole day. At the last day, the owner of Villa coco was super friendly and he brought us to the city centre of Santa Catalina with the pick up, because there are no taxis/busses. In the garden of Villa Coco you can walk to a hidden beach and at night you can see an amazing sky full with beautiful stars. We got a notification that there are constructions in the garden, but it was not disturbing at all. It was really quite and we could really relax in the garden. I will totally recommend a stay in Villa Coco. You will totally unwind and relax there!

For us it was THE BEST place from all we had during our 3 weeks trip through Panama. The resort is quiet but within walking distance to the "donwtown", the whole place is beautiful and well maintained, the pool has tranquil view over the ocean, the food was great and the coctails as well:-) The double bed was huge (200x200 cm) and very comfortable. The bunk beds for kids were also fine.

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.
