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.Guest review byEnzo MMUnited States - 10.0
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!!Guest review byMariaPanama - 6.0
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.Guest review byGlenUnited States - 10.0

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.Guest review byClaudeFrance - 10.0
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.Guest review byJoeUnited States - 8.0
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.Guest review byRiikkaJJFinland

- From US$43.12 per nightScored out of 10, guest rating 7.7Good - What previous guests thought, 492 reviewsThe 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.Guest review byJamesUnited Kingdom
- From US$49.50 per nightScored out of 10, guest rating 9.2Superb - What previous guests thought, 197 reviewsThe location and cabins are very cute and clean! The place is well run and especially the hosts are welcome and have many good recommendations! I would definitely recommend this place for Santa Catalina (very central as well). Only if you are a surfer it’s a longer walk to the main beach (el Estero).Guest review byTristanGermany
- From US$60.50 per nightScored out of 10, guest rating 8.1Very good - What previous guests thought, 104 reviewsIt's a nice local business with a comfy dorm, nice staff, and really near the good beach of Santa Catalina. The restaurant offers decent food to moderate or even low prices for Panama and the location. Would have stayed longer knowing all this before.Guest review bySimonGermany
