Best location in Santa Catalina

Reviewed By Yasmin R

Cute hotel with all you need. Comfortable rooms, a small store to buy beach essentials, great restaurant, and the best is that it has direct access to the beach. Everything on the restaurant menu is delicious. Staff is friendly and accommodating. Has terraces and rooftop to hang out. The decor is of good taste and full of nature. First day , we went to an island near by for a few hours. Next day we went to Coiba for the day. Third day we chilled at the hotel and felt very comfortable just like home. Loved this place and would come back here in the future.

Hostel Villa Vento Surf Santa Catalina

Brand new hostel in santa catalina town at just 5min walking from the beach. We ofert a nice atmosphere at our pool area, with a big full equiped kitchen and a helpfullstaf. also we have a minimarket and restaurant at the front side of the hostel.

Social, clean and centrally located hostel

Reviewed By Vera v

I would recommend staying in this hostel while in Santa Catalina. It's in the middel of the village, little supermarket is attached to the hostel, great pool and kitchen and the hostel is very clean. It's a great place to meet people. The free pancakes in the morning are also very practical. With some cheap fruits of the cute little fruit market in town you van make yourself a awesome breakfast. Only downside is no laundry service. The kitchen is indeed closed between 22:00 and 07:00 but I've not experienced that as a problem. The outside lights are turned off after 22:00 as well, but you can still sit outside.

Nice place to stay

Reviewed By Natasha0606

I did like the Tiki Lodge. Location is great, the staff is friendly and the dorm and bathrooms were always clean. It is a bit sad that reception opens so late in the mornings and I found it weird that our bathrooms were also the bathrooms of the restaurant's guests. They could watch us brushing our teeth while having their dinner. A bit strange. But if you don't mind that, the place is great. I would stay here again. You can also rent surf gear from them and they help you book tours.

Hotel Las Hamacas

Good hotel with bad WiFi

Reviewed By DougFirDino

Good hotel, hot showers, good AC, nice bed, beautiful pool, excellent location, friendly helpful staff, clean, well-equipped kitchen, but bad WiFi. The WiFi was too weak to run most websites such as Trip Advisor, and frequently disconnected. Except for the WiFi, it was wonderful and I expect to stay there again.

Bodhi

Really cold at night

Reviewed By Natasha0606

I only stayed one night but this night was one of my worst hostel experiences. I got the bed right beneath the AC with the air blowing directly in my face. During check in I already asked if I could have one of the other free beds but that wasn't possible due to a difficult computer system that couldn't be changed.(Another girl told me she could chose her bed upon arrival.) I asked for a blanket then and was promised one later, twice. Turned out they only have one and that was given to the guy in the other dorm having the same problem. He got up really early as well and we met in the common area, him saying that it was just too cold. We couldn't turn the AC off because other travelers didn't want that. To be fair they gave me a bigger towel and more linen but it was just so cold. In the end I slept on the sofa in the common area which was way better. But not what I had paid for. The rest of the hostel was great. Good location, nice and friendly staff and clean facilities. I guess if you have another bed, you will be fine. All the other beds in the dorm had privacy curtains as well except for this one. Probably because it is not a bunk. I think it could be a really good experience otherwise.

Wie zuhause!

Reviewed By Joel1318

Unser Zimmer mit den Einzelbetten war relativ klein, aber extrem sauber und zweckmässig ausgestattet. Man wird in der Familie von Julia und Carlos mit offenen Armen empfangen und fühlt sich gleich sehr wohl. Julia bereitet jeden Tag ein exzellentes Frühstück vor und auf Wunsch kocht sie auch andere Mahlzeiten. Wir haben dort 3 Mal zu Abend gegessen und 3 sehr gute Mahlzeiten aufgetischt bekommen. Preis/Leistung stimmt auf jeden Fall! Der einzige "Nachteil" ist der relativ lange Weg ins Dorf (ca. 10-15 Minuten zu Fuss), dafür ist die Ruhe in der Nacht umso besser. Wir würden hier auf jeden Fall wieder buchen!

Casa Bambu (Yoga & Sushi Bar)

Sympa, calme, dépaysant, décontracté

Reviewed By cecat34

Nous sommes restés 11 jours à la Casa Bambu. Les enfants ont adoré notre cabane en bambou. Le site est a 15 minutes du centre et à 10 minutes de la plage à pied. Ce n'est pas un problème pour nous qui préférons le calme. Et puis Francesco est toujours dispo pour vous amener en ville en voiture si vous devez faire des courses.

Oceans Hostal

A nice place to come for a family time and fun, or just to wait the oceans waves in the morning for surf. Welcome to our Oceans Family

Hostel ran by a great guy

Reviewed By higginsjaclyn

Booked this hostel on a whim just driving by, and upon entering and speaking to the owner, Leon, and chatting as he showed the rooms we decided to stay for 2 nights. He is a lovely man who was super helpful to us and even gave us some salt/spices one night when we were cooking in the common kitchen, so we wouldn't have to go buy any. The room was nice with two beds and a good size tv. There was no hot water in our room which was contrary to what was advertised outside but we were sunburned anyways so we didn't mind. The location is right next to the beach too which was awesome but it is about 30 min to walk into town. He also has a really generous checkout time so if you want to go to the beach on your last morning you can come back and rinse off before you leave town. Would definitely recommend!
