I loved everything about my stay. My room was huge! It was clean, had 2 beds, and a porch with a hammock steps away from the pool. I was surprised that the pool was available 24hrs because most hotels close theirs between 8-10pm. I had ac in my room which came in handy. The food was pretty good and my favorite were the pancake breakfast and the fish sandwich. The place was very calm and peaceful. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Anything I needed, they accommodated. They even help you book excursions so you make the most of your trip. I loved my stay, honestly.

I was a bit hesitant to book at first because the hotel had only one review, but I’m so glad I did. The hotel and the staff were absolutely wonderful. There was a warm, friendly atmosphere and the staff were incredibly helpful. The hotel is new and truly deserves a high rating. The spot is amazing with beautiful views, and the pool is fantastic. The rooms were clean, spacious, and very well equipped, and the bed was really comfortable. The location is excellent. It was the best hotel we stayed at in Panama. Highly recommended!

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!

the area (close to the beach) is amazing, you can rent surfboards and the offered trip to Isla Coiba is worth the money (and the same price like everyone else), the small pool is nice and clean, you can relax being in the hotel, getting drinks and swimming in the sea at the same time which is kind of unique there. beach is clean too.
