a dreamy and magical stay with ricardito and ingunn
Pros:

OH EM GEEE.......first of all Ricardito is the best host i've ever had on BK.com and it's not even close. his attention to personalized service is second to none. he greeted us and took us for a tour of the village showing us what's what. every morning if you had a question he'd magically appear. he's one of the OG's of SC and his knowledge of everything made us feel as though we had lived there all our lives.

the location is stunning, and you feel you're in your private residence. it has a dreamy hawaiian feel to it with a wonderful pool and spectacular views of the wave of Catalina. there a hotel next to it with a great restaurant so you don't even have to cook if you don't want to, but there are some great ones in the village these days.

it's Santa Catalina's best kept secret so don't tell anyone!!! 😉

Cons:

ummmm.....that after extending our stay twice we had to leave!

Unique and beautiful property out of the fray but close enough to the center of Santa Catalina.
Pros:

Best location in Santa Catalina! Wonderful oceanfront and sunset views. Beautiful landscaping and well-kept grounds with beach access. Small boutique feeling with a lot of privacy. The host and owner Ricardo is a wealth of knowledge about Santa Catalina history and surfing culture and has excellent recommendations for all things Santa Catalina and beyond!

Cons:

That we don’t live there permanently! The last bit of road into the property is a little rugged , but we had no issues at all. Beach access is very tide dependent so make sure you understand the tides of Santa Catalina. Sometimes the beach is underwater!

What a nice place to stay!
Pros:

What a stunning view! We really enjoyed our stay in this small village. The hotel is quite easy to reach when you drive slowly (we drove the path by using a “midrange suv). The owner is friendly and always willing to help. He showed us our specious room. It’s not a fancy new hotel but it has charme. The stair in the bathroom to reach the shower is doable but not very practical. I slept in many hotels, so always something that can be improved, but in general a unique place to stay. We really enjoyed the view from the terrace!!!

Cons:

Some small things that can be improved easily, but this accommodation has so much character and charme….

Perfekter Entschleunigungs-Ort!
Pros:

Direkte Lage am Meer mit unvergleichlich schöner Aussicht. Sehr ruhig (und abseits), perfekt zum Entschleunigen und entspannen!
Ricardo war stets um unser Wohl besorgt!

Cons:

Für nen Bruchteil, als wir realisierten, dass wir kein Hotel gebucht haben! Aber wir bereuten es nict. Im Gegenteil- wir verlängerten um Nächte!

A lovely, clean, peaceful retreat with beautiful ocean views and a host with the absolute most!!!
Pros:

Wow! Hospitality (and construction) is Ricardo's game and he is at the top of it! You'll be hard pressed to find a more accommodating or helpful host. He gave us a lovely upgrade to the Oceanview bungalow with a full kitchen which came in handy for our couple of night stay. He was great communicating with us when we took a diversion pre-arrival, and then went over and above to make us so comfortable when we arrived and even set us up to watch the biiiiig Hockey Game :-p with a big tv at the bar area. He's a wealth of knowledge and he and his wife Ingun, were so lovely and helpful during our stay and gave us fab restaurant recommendations. We ate at their fave places and loved them. Thanks so much! The property is private with a big pool and was easy to find - in a peaceful spot with fab ocean views of the surfer point and that sunset - gorgeous! The king bed was really comfy too with nice linens. Enjoy your stay - We did!

Cons:

Nothing!! It was a lovely spot to experience Santa Catalina and Coiba - Go!

Quiet Bungalow with an incredible view
Pros:

The bungalow was absolutely beautiful inside and the views from the deck were magnificent! Even better than in the pictures. It was so lovely to sit on the deck in the morning with a cup of coffee. The sunsets right from the deck or pool area were just gorgeous.
The space was incredibly comfortable and well equipped with everything our family of 4 could need. The kitchen was great to cook in.
The kids loved playing in the pool, especially when it was lit up at night.
Ricardo is an amazing host and extremely attentive to any needs. He also offered great advice on local activities.
Santa Cantalina itself was a breath of fresh air and a great little hidden gem. A nice surf town with a laid back vibe that still feels very undiscovered by the masses. We enjoyed the beach and the snorkelling at Coiba was amazing.

I would not hesitate to book this place! It far exceeded my expectations.. we did not want to leave!

Cons:

The wifi wasn’t always the best. But who needs it! The road in is a bit rough, but it’s short.

Just perfect. Lovely bungalow in perfect location, hosted fantastic people
Pros:

Incredible location. Throwing back the curtains each morning, the surfers (often including Ricardo - the owner) were out in the waves off the point. What a view for breakfast!
Bungalow was beautiful and well looked after. Ricardo and his wife could not have been nicer or more helpful- they made our stay truly memorable (including the fabulous margaritas!), and left us more knowledgeable about Panama and with many stories to tell.

Superb
Pros:

Great location right above the cliff with a view of the waves and the surfers. Quietly located, just outside the center. Ricardo is a great host and knows a lot about the region.

Cons:

Kitchen equipped with the important things. In the event of a power outage, it is a bit difficult to use an electric stove. Luckily there are various restaurants in town. A car is helpful.

Love it!!!
Pros:

What an amazing place! Can’t say enough good things about the property. The owner was very accommodating, the property was beautiful and clean and we could lay in our bed and see the ocean waves crashing down during this super moon high tide! Surfers were out there in large numbers having a blast. We had a long drive on the day we arrived and our host made us the best frozen margaritas that we have ever had! The town is small and friendly which was perfect. This property has an awesome pool that we had to ourselves every evening. If your looking for a clean, comfortable, romantic getaway… this place is it! Best place we went to in Panama!

Cons:

Pictures on the website don’t show how beautiful the rooms and property are. Pics don’t do the property justice. We were pleasantly surprised when we got there!
