The staff, especially Elena, was very friendly, helpful and attentive. The place is comfortable, quiet at night and close to all the restaurants in town. It was hard to know which days the restaurant was open, but I guess that depends on the number of guests staying at the hotel. Overall, great stay!

Don’t expect a lot in general being in Santa Catalina. It’s just a village and overall you won’t find luxuries properties to stay. La Buena vida is centrally located close to everything and you have a private room with the shower that is great. Overall, though, the property needs a lot of work - the area is full of fallen leaves and definitely needs cleaning. The room was humid and had filthy smell. Although there is restaurant on site, we were able to have breakfast only once - there was no staff at 7 am to prepare breakfast (although they supposed to be working). We had a good stay overall, but I would say that the property is definitely overrated and the price to too high for what it is.
