Santa Catalina
Santa Catalina
This is a great beach for surfers.
you definitely have to do a tour to Isla Coiba! You can go snorkeling (or diving) there and see all kinds of animals (sharks, turtles, manta rays, a lot of fish and corals,...). We also saw dolphins and between July and October there are humpback whales in this area.
We did the tour with "Watching Dolphins" and were extremely happy with our choice.

9.2/10 Wonderful! (61 reviews)
The room was great . Staff friendly. One thing to improve on was the music. It was so loud that you could hardly carry a conversation in the restaurant.

Amazing place for a little escape. The bed is extremely comfortable and all you can hear is the sound of nature. The staff goes above and beyond to make sure all your need are met. The food is delicious. The only problem is that you will not want to leave. Fully recommend doing the free activities ...

Fantastic property! Great hosts!The pool was gorgeous. The casita was very well appointed and comfortable. The development was great and we enjoyed walking around. The beach was not great for swimming so we went to Santa Catalina which was great!

Cuando llegamos no teniamos habitación
Cuando llegamos no teniamos habitación. Las tenian todas ocupadas. Tubimos q irnos a otro hotel. No hicieron caso a la reserva de expedia. Parece ser q lo suelen hacerlo muy amenudo. No reserven no cumplen. Llegas a Santa Catalina y te encuentras sin hotel.
