Michael y Rafael: la esencia del hotel
Pros:

El hotel es muy bonito, con habitaciones grandes, cómodas y con aire acondicionado y ventilador de techo, que era suficiente para dormir frescos. Hay mininevera. Tambien facilitan toallas para la piscina y la playa que puedes cambiar las veces que quieras. La piscina es un lujo y las vistas desde el restaurante magnificas mientras desayunas o cenas. La comida además de bien presentada es exquisita. Y los zumos naturales riquisimos.
Pero todo esto no seria nada sin Michael y Rafael, que nos han alegrado la estancia con su trato amable y amigo, interesandose en todo momento por si las cosas estaban a nuestro gusto. Os lo he dicho y quiero dejar constancia aquí: sin vosotros no hubiera sido lo mismo, hemos estado muy cómodos. Un abrazo grande y no perdais esa alegria!!

Cons:

Baño muy pequeño. Me dieron la ultima habitacion en las afueras, pero al final no estuvo tan mal y ya no quise cambiar

We had an outstanding time at Hotel Santa Catalina. Very nice place to stay.
Pros:

The view, staff and food in the restaurant were exceptional. The condition of the property, cleanliness and attention to detail in the room were also outstanding.

Cons:

It would have been nice to have somewhere in the room to sit, but the chairs and hammocks on the porch served just fine. In addition, streaming TV was difficult as the signal was not great (for that purpose, though fine for e-mail/internet).

Un emplacement de rêve, mais la ville elle-même reste un bout du monde
Pros:

Il est quasiment situé juste en face du spot de la Punta, on peut pas faire mieux

Cons:

Le service au restaurant est une catastrophe avec du Personnel qui ne parle pas anglais à chaque commande il revient cinq minutes après pour vous demander s’ils ont bien compris la commande, ils n’ont rien compris, même quand on passe la commande en espagnol !!

Pros:

Mooie locatie, goed verzorgd, eten was erg lekker.

Cons:

De huisjes zijn erg gehorig. Het is niet iets waar je direct iets aan kunt doen maar als je een beetje pech hebt lig je wakker van het gekwek van de buren :)

Goede keuze voor Santa Catalina
Pros:

Relaxte vibe aan het strand met vriendelijk personeel en eigenaresse. Prima eten. Backpack achtige sfeer. 3 nachten is voldoende.

Cons:

Douche erg matige straal. Locatie aan strand niet om te zwemmen.
