Quiet location close enough to main town of Santa Catalina, the property exceeded my expectations.
Pros:

Breakfast selection was excellent especially for the vegetarians. Flexibility in meal times. Chilled vibe around the pool area, plenty of place to tan. Beach on your door step. Transfers into town available.

Pros:

Casita en el paraíso. Sin duda el mejor alojamiento en el que hemos estado en Panamá. La casita es grande, espaciosa, bonita y muy cómoda. La zona de la piscina espectacular. El personal es muy atento, amable y dispuesto siempre a ayudar. Sin duda lo recomendaríamos 100%!

Cons:

Por decir alguna cosa, la piscina te dejaba un color verde en la piel y en el traje de baño.

Buscando mejorar
Pros:

Ambiente tranquilo

Cons:

Solo para mejorar, desde la pileta se veía el inodoro de los baños, faltarían reposeras o sillas en la playa, el cantero podría tener plantas mejor presentadas

A wonderful, relaxing family stay with great ambiance, thoughtful touches, and warm hospitality.
Pros:

We really enjoyed our stay at Catalina’s Hideaway. Our beachfront bungalow was very comfortable for the family, with a lovely patio, outdoor shower, and beautiful garden surroundings. The hotel has a wonderful ambiance, a great mix of comfort, beachside charm, cool vibe, and genuinely helpful staff. The restaurant food was very tasty and well prepared, and we also enjoyed activities like yoga. The kids especially loved the marshmallows by the fire after dinner, the game room, and the stargazing area. It was also a pleasure to meet the owner and hear about her project in person.

Cons:

At low tide, the water at the beach was too shallow for swimming.

True hideaway paradise
Pros:

Catalina’s hideaway is a piece of paradise
We had the chance to stay in the new tree house which has a fantastic view to the river and has a wonderful outside shower
The hotel is located right on the beach with a beautiful infinity pool which you would not leave !
The staff was very kind and has helped booking our tour to Coiba! Food and breakfast were excellent. We did not want to leave.

Una experiencia sensacional con muy buena “vibra”.
Pros:

El hotel está ubicado en el probablemente mejor lugar de Santa Catalina. Playa prácticamente privada, instalaciones preciosas y con un gusto increíble, mezclando lujo con Naturaleza, integradas en el entorno. Las casitas, perfectas. Y, sin duda lo mejor, las personas que hacen posible que tu estancia sea especial y excepcional. Un diez para ellos. Mención especial a Nico, por su pasión y entusiasmo, por su alegría y su carácter divertido, siempre atento, el alma del hotel. Y mil dieces más a todos los demás, incluido el vigilante nocturno. Gracias por hacernos vivir una experiencia maravillosa.

Cons:

Nada malo que destacar. Por decir algo, el espacio superior que se ofrece como dormitorio, no lo es; está bien para dormir, pero le falta espacio para dejar el teléfono, la ropa… No obstante, nos lo avisaron previamente y nos ofrecieron alternativas que rechazamos, por lo que nada malo que decir.

Hier kann man die Seele baumeln lassen
Pros:

Wir wurden freundlich und offen empfangen. Bei einem kleinen Rundgang wurde uns alles gezeigt. Der Strand ist mit einer der schönsten Strände, die wir je gesehen haben. Da es ein Naturschutzgebiet ist, kommt man kilometerweit niemanden entgegen. Hier hatten wir wunderschöne Spaziergänge und den schönsten Sonnenaufgang. Das zwanglose an der Unterkunft hat uns ebenso sehr gefallen. Es herrscht eine lockere, entspannte und Gutelaune Stimmung. Das gesamte Personal, das Essen, die Drinks waren hervorragend!

Cons:

Hier gibt es nichts! Es war perfekt!

Wonderful location and staff. Always feel welcome. Perhaps a little more attention to detail. Not a,
Pros:

Location perfect. Breakfast excellent. Welcoming vibe excellent.

Cons:

No interior seating provided at all ?
Exterior seating for 2 person only - we were three !!
Many menu items were not available ! Perhaps a chalkboard menu on a daily basis for AVAILABLE options would be better🤔

Détente, calme et soleil
Pros:

L’emplacement est magnifique, la propreté des lieux communs et des chambres , le confort des bungalows dans un jardin exceptionnel ..
Un personnel hyper sympa et professionnel , une piscine bien utile pour se rafraîchir car il est pratiquement pas possible vu la configuration de la plage de se baigner …par contre on peut faire une vraie belle balade sur des kilomètres de plage , pratiquement seul au monde 👍🏻😉
La qualité des plats

Cons:

Rien excepté les prix des boissons et repas qui à mon avis sont un peu élevés par apport à d’autres endroits équivalents ,dans ce pays ..
