Outstanding hotel with great vibe, massage, and pool. Faces one of the best surf spots in the world, with a pool and restaurant that has a view n food that can't be matched.

A wonderful location that was quiet and with a wonderful view. My wife Kelly and I had a delux room that was perfect for us, and our 3 young adult children and friend had a triple, and it was the perfect reunion/graduation location that had something for everyone. Paddleboarding, kayaking and a gorgeous pool to watch surfing. Great launch for Coiba, and birding with Javier was wonderful.

Good deal

The hotel is a hub for your vacation. They have a decent restaurant and can help you with all kinds of activities. It takes a bit of walking to go to the beach or the village though. The response time on WhatsApp could also be improved.

This hotel was a little bit away from the main area in Santa Catalina, but walkable to the two main beaches. Nice lazing areas on the property, and access to kayaks and the water. Though no real beach, just a rocky entrance.
