We loved our stay at Villa Coco, it was very clean and modern. Our room had a wonderful view through to the sea. The restaurant is amazing, with changes to the menu each day and the food was delicious.

Wow! Hospitality (and construction) is Ricardo's game and he is at the top of it! You'll be hard pressed to find a more accommodating or helpful host. He gave us a lovely upgrade to the Oceanview bungalow with a full kitchen which came in handy for our couple of night stay. He was great communicating with us when we took a diversion pre-arrival, and then went over and above to make us so comfortable when we arrived and even set us up to watch the biiiiig Hockey Game :-p with a big tv at the bar area. He's a wealth of knowledge and he and his wife Ingun, were so lovely and helpful during our stay and gave us fab restaurant recommendations. We ate at their fave places and loved them. Thanks so much! The property is private with a big pool and was easy to find - in a peaceful spot with fab ocean views of the surfer point and that sunset - gorgeous! The king bed was really comfy too with nice linens. Enjoy your stay - We did!

Perfect place for people looking for an hotel to relax and escape the daily stress. It is located in a quite area right next to the sea, where you can emerce yourself in the lovely nature. Our room and the outdoor space was wonderful, everything is very new, modern and stylish. I loved the fresh fried fish (I had red snapper) and the freshly made passion fruit juice from their restaurant, they were both delicious. The owner and the employees are super friendly, they even drove us to Santa Catalina by car for our diving tour (which you should do if you like diving because Isla Coiba has beautiful underwater spots with sharks, we even saw dolphins and a whale). If you like riding you could also do horseback riding with their own horses at the beach!

Shirley was amazing, she is so kind and caring it is like being with a family member. The rooms are amazing and each one is unique and special. The beds are insanely comfy, I loved the element of the tiny kitchen in the room, it had everything you could need in it. This place is great whether you want to stay short or long term. My stay was extended and Shirley was extremely accommodating. If you are a working nomad this place is definitely a great option for you 👌

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.

The hotel is in an excellent location close to shops and restaurants. The bus stop is just outside. The cafe on the ground floor makes tasty food at reasonable prices, although a discount for hotel residents would be nice. Short walk to the town beach for sunset, and a longer 20-30 minute walk to a nicer beach for daytime activities. Rooms are generally clean, fresh and comfortable. Many staff are friendly and professional.

We really enjoyed staying at hibiscus garden. Its such a lovely place to relax and chill. You can see the beach from the Pool. Its a bit further from santa catalina, so i would recommend a car if you want to visit this place. But if you like a beautiful quiet place, i would highly recommend hibiscus.

Location is fabulous if you appreciate the fantastic view and the surfer beach right at it and if you don’t mind to be a bit away from the village with its restaurants and bars. The cottages are new and in excellent shape, comfortable mattress. You can rent surfboards and even get surf-lessons.
