Place is a dump

The room was beautiful ,but there is mold growing everywhere .The showers where super dirty with mold and dirt all thru out the shower .Mold is through out the room and I defiantly would not recommend staying at this hotel. When bringing this up to the manager Isamel he just shrugged is shoulders.

Nice hotel & very friendly staff

Amazing location and the view across the sea is incredible. Elizabeth and Israel were extremely friendly and helpful and will help you with all your questions. Breakfast not a lot of choice but freshly made with fresh fruits and coffee every morning. The pool area is nice and there’s plenty of room to relax!

Absolutely a special place. We were so sorry to leave

There are so many great things about this place, but the top thing is the people. Israel and Elisabeth are so welcoming and warm and the whole atmosphere is about making you feel like you are connected with others and are at home. We stayed for 4 days first and went back the next week for 3 days as it was so wonderful to be there. On top of that, the view is amazing and definitely the best in the whole area. We looked at many other hotels and nowhere was better, starting with breakfast on the terrace and ending with a beautiful sunset for dinner. If you can’t eat there, then try Chano next door. Maybe one of the best meals we have ever had anywhere. The rooms are comfortable and clean and everything works fine. In addition, they can organize trips to Coiba for snorkeling and walking.

Paradise with stunning views

Without a doubt (one of) the best locations you will find in Catalina. The views from the garden + deck are unmatched. Very kind and warm staff, excellent breakfast and dinner. We had a great day trip to Coiba arranged via the hotel. Also, many restaurants within a short walking distance! Nice pool. But the biggest magic is the view, truly stunning and nothing short of paradise. Very happy to have stayed here.

Best spot for sunsets

The hotel sits on a little hill, nestled by trees. It is extremely peaceful here. The staff are friendly and were very kind to our child. They accept dogs as well. The suite was airy, light and with nice wooden furniture. A good plus is that it had a full kitchen!

Really good place to relax and unwind for a few days.

Great views, good relaxing options - hammocks, bean bags, loungers. Lovely helpful staff and Elizabeth on reception is a diamond. Nice breakfast.

Nice, small hotel but nothing extraordinary

Very friendly lady at the reception. Good location at the sea. However, the beach is not accessible from the hotel as the coast is very steep. The drinks at the hotel are fairly priced. We didn't try the restaurant, though.

Santa Catalina for work and Vista Coiba was a very comfortable.

I stayed at this property 5 or 6 years ago for three nights during a site inspection and was not impressed. This time when I booked an apartment online I did not recognize the hotel. I booked a hotel I previously did not like! The property has changed for the better recently with renovations. NOTE! I stayed in a different unit than previously. The staff were extremely friendly.

Lovely place, we enjoyed our time very much.

The property was well situated halfway between Santa Catalina village and the surfers beach El Estero. The beds were comfy and the staff friendly. The view at high tide was beautiful. It is right next to a great seafood place, Congo’s Point. Highly recommend the seafood pasta!
