Een leuk verblijf op een fijne lokatie met fantastisch uitzicht en een goed restaurant.
Pros:

Het personeel is zeer behulpzaam en gastvrij. Vooral Paco van het restaurant is en fantastische, leuke, vriendelijke en gezellige man. Je kunt in het restaurant bovendien erg lekker eten met uitzicht op de prachtige zee waar de pelikanen voorbij vliegen en er zelfs af en toe een grote roofvogel vlak voor je in een boom landt. De eigenaresse kwam ons persoonlijk begroeten wat wij erg konden waarderen.

Pros:

The location is the best in town. Easy parking and quiet nights. The onsite restaurant is really good, the staff members Paco and Hansel made our experience top notch! Friendly, professional and attentive. The restaurant is a separate business, so don’t forget to pay and tip directly with them. The infinity pool is beautiful, clean clear water that looks over a popular surf break. There was a nice swell, so lots of amazing talent out in the water. It’s my second visit and will always choose Hotel Santa Catalina, best in town!

Pros:

Es war eigentlich alles toll.
Zauberhaftes Personal...z.b. an der Rezeption.
Tolle Zimmer, sehr sauber und vor allem hört man nichts von den Nachbarn.
Der Pool ist fantastisch.
Ein absoluter Bonus ist die kostenfreie Nutzung der Kanus, Fahrräder und Surfboards.
Das Restaurant war ok, ich fands etwas teuer für die Qualität. Aber der Blick war super.

Cons:

Es ist etwas teuer. Wir wären gerne noch länger geblieben, haben uns dann aber dagegen entschieden.

Excelente y hermosa Base para descansar y relajarse después de un día de Buceo en Coiba
Pros:

La atención de todo el personal fue excelente. El bar y restaurante muy buena calidad. Pequeños favores que pedimos a el personal para apoyarnos en nuestro viaje de buceo nos ayudaron. Nos sentimos muy consentidos y cómodos.

Ótima experiência em Santa Catalina.
Pros:

O Hotel serve suas refeições através do Restaurante Pescao. Lugar muito bom para fazer todas as refeições durante a sua estadia. Móveis um pouco antigos, mas nada que desabone ou destoe da proposta do local. Bom café da manhã, frutas, menu de ovos, omelete, panqueca, etc. Comida saudável. Não espere variedade de pães, doces, frituras no café da manhã. Almoço com variedade de pratos a base de frutos do mar, frango, massas, comida semelhante a brasileira (serviam arroz, feijão e mandioca). Janta com cardápio bom, incluindo lanches hamburgueres. Poderiam incluir um dia no menu para servirem Pizza. Destaque para o atendente Paco e sua colega Araceli.

Cons:

Nada a ponto de ser um reclamação.
