    Everything about our stay at Coibahouse was perfect. Darcy the host, is kind, helpful, and a general joy to get to know. He helped us organise a tour to Coiba, sorted our laundry and shared countless recommendations for local food spots. The room was clean, cool and comfortable. The facilities spotless and stylish. The view is out of this world. We could not recommend this place more - it was a truly peaceful and rejuvenating experience.

    Nothing!

    Thank you Anonymous. You know it was truly our pleasure. Hopefully the continuance to the island was adventurous y fruitful

    It's just a dream. We would go back any time. You can hear the sound of the ocean at night and enjoy the seaview during the day. We had a beautiful room with a private bathroom and a shared kitchen with refrigerator. Everything was very clean. There are only three rooms, so you have lots of privacy. The owner lives upstairs and is here for you any time. Thank you very much.

    Thank you very much. It was totally our pleasure. Every guest is important but you were like family. Have a wonderful rest of your holiday.

    Very nice location on top of a hill overlooking ocean. Plenty of comfortable outdoor furniture inviting to relax. Good equipped outdoor kitchen with all necessary stuff.

    The nearest neighborhood. Hotel is located close to the main street which is ugly and dirty. On the other hand, trips to Coiba Island starts from here.

    Property response:

    I am sorry you gave us a low review for the construction that is on the main road. I believe you enjoyed Coibahouse itself and your review should reflect that in the rating.

    It’s a beautiful house right at the front of the smaller of Santa Catalina’s two beaches, only a few steps away from the Main Street where restaurants, cafes and all the dive shops are located. The owner is really nice and gave good recommendations on where to eat, there’s only three rooms so it’s really cozy, it was very clean, the shared kitchen is equipped for making breakfast or some basic cooking and the terrace is just amazing with tables to eat and sunchairs and hammocks to relax and the perfect ocean and sunset view. And the best thing: you can hear the sound of the waves while falling asleep!

    Property response:

    Thank you Natalie glad the diving and the stay are good memories

    Lovely location and great facilities. Really helpful and friendly couple running the place. It is so nice to relax and chill in the lounge area, looking out to sea.

    Lovely house, right on the beach. Georgous terrace

    No breakfast, unexpectedly. Maybe I misread the info

    Property response:

    Aideen, your review is truly unbelievable. For a private 2 bedroom room on the beach, you paid under $60/night and you rate 7.5 for value. You booked 3 nights, left after 2 nights with a lame excuse and we gave you a partial refund for the 3rd night. Not obligatory! Was it because you were offended because there was no breakfast which by the way we do not offer. Your error. Our staff?? Me and my family, make a big effort to see you are comfortable. You stayed 2 nights and the day you were out on a tour. What sort of action do you propose so we can improve our staff rating if we do not see you? You were a very 6.0 client. Cleanliness, we clean everyday. Comfort: love to know what you expected, actually not! Facilities: maybe the ‘not included breakfast’ we don’t advertise! What a shame, I thought better of you as a guest. You make a family run guesthouse a poorer experience. Please be more considerate.

    The view from the terrace is breathtaking, the room and the shared bathroom was very clean and all you need on a tropical holiday. The host Darcy was very welcoming and made me feel at home from day one. There is also a possibilty to rent an canoe to go to the island just across the property.

    Nothing, for me it was perfect!

    The location and layout of the rooms are fantastic. The parking couldn’t have been better. A cute bridge to pass over that we loved walking on greeted by the guard poodles and cats. We loved the dogs and cats (they are not intrusive or noisy but will happily accept some pets if you offer them) We also loved how close it was ro everything. It was very quiet and the views of the sunsets over the beach and the islands were spectacular. Our hosts were very friendly and accommodating. They have comfortable chairs and loungers so we didn’t spend a lot of time in the room itself but it was very serviceable. We would definitely love to return.

    While we knew this going in before we booked it, private bathrooms or at least one more shared toilet would make a huge improvement in our rating. It appears that there is the possibility for that. That said, the toilet and very large separate shower was always clean and we had no issues whatsoever other than having to wait (or know that someone else is waiting on you). It isn’t really fair to complain about this as the listing clearly states it but we offer it as a “suggestion “ to further enhance the experience for their guests. Our only other concern is that the place is already booked out so we won’t be able to go back as we fell in love with it

    Property response:

    Hi appreciate your review. I feel it is a little low considering we provided everything as stated but oh well. Good news we are finishing the new private bathroom for room 3. Now only 2 rooms share a 3 station (toilet, vanity and shower each independent) common bathroom. Even better.

    Incredible location, we loved sitting in the hammocks and watching the sunset. No better view in Santa Catalina. Great aircon in the rooms and very clean with towels provided. Great access to town and the beach. Kitchen was basic but functional and worked well. The host was so helpful and friendly, we loved meeting the pets and we used the laundry service which was speedy.

    Although close to the beach not the nicest beach (obviously not a fault of the accommodation but general note on Santa Catalina), but ideal if you want to go to Coiba island or surfing. Kitchen lacks utensils e.g no chopping board but for basic meals not an issue.

    Property response:

    Thanks Katy. We have taken care of the chopping board and appreciate the observation. Yes the kitchenette is basic but I will look at the utensils to see it is complete. Thanks so much.
