We stayed two nights and enjoyed this hotel a lot. Very nice staff offering great service. The rooms are almost new and really nicely set up. The pool is small - but we liked it! Breakfast options are only 3 - but no issue if you want to change things a bit (service is very good 😉). The location is right at main road in city center - but as the rooms a a bit in the back they are quite. We would come again!

Beds really comfortable and with curtains offering more privacy. Giovanni working there was so nice and made all guests super welcomed in town and had great recommendations. I booked for 5 nights and ended up staying 12 it was great! Great kitchen to cook as well, proximity to everything but a bit more out of the center of the town which offers more tranquility.

This 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.

Great location, great restaurant and pool, great staff. It is totally worthy! The rooms are spacious and clean, and it’s nice to chill in the amaca with the geckos and the iguanas. The staff is particularly friendly - ask them for tips and to book with a local tour to visit Coiba, you won’t regret it! There’s also a great selection of surfboards to get for free to try at the Playa el Estero.

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.

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.
