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

- Scored out of 10, guest rating 9.1Superb - What previous guests thought, 264 reviewsOur recent stay Santa Catalina's Hideway was fantastic. We were there for one week and there was lots to do at the hotel or around. A big shout out to their amazing team. Special thanks to Nic, Joel and Olga who were very resourceful and made sure everything was great for our vacay. The chef and kitchen team were very knowledgeable with our daughter's coeliac (no gluten) condition. She had lots of options to choose from. With no dougt, we highly recommend this little gem which is great for family, friends and for romantic getaways.Guest review byVincentCanada
- From US$48.51 per nightScored out of 10, guest rating 8.0Very good - What previous guests thought, 399 reviewsThe hotel is close to the beach and to the main road in Santa Catalina, has good parking slots, a supermarket a fee houses away, and at the corner a good café that opens 6:30 am and served good breakfasts. The apartment was comfortable, had 2 good single beds, a well equipped kitchen and fridge, and a bathroom (toilet was not working properly). Plenty of toilet paper and handy towels for snorkelling days. AC worked well. The hotel features a swimming pool that I did not use. Altogether good for the price.Guest review bySilvanaGermany
- From US$61.99 per nightScored out of 10, guest rating 8.2Very good - What previous guests thought, 823 reviewsFantastic location, right on the beach. We had one of the little huts at the end and that was just perfect. Very clean, it felt very new and fresh and comfortable. And a very comfortable shower with hot water! Lots of surfboards available for rent, many sun beds, nice restaurant onsite with good food. I truly don’t understand why this place isn’t rated higher, we absolutely loved it and wished we could stay longer.Guest review byLiesbethNetherlands
