The property is walkable to to several restaurants and the main town. It is a perfect location for surfing ‘the point’.

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

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!

We booked with 6 friends. Ricardo, the owner made sure we had everything we needed. Muchas gracias! Hopefully we will ever see each other again.

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

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!

Wonderful location, cozy but spacious and super clean bungalow, amazing ocean views and last but not least -superb hosts! We have spent the most delightful 3 days there and fell in love with Santa Catalina, Ricardo and his lovely wife! Hope to get back:)

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.

One of the few accommodations with oceanfront views and beach access. The bungalows have everything you need to make your stay comfortable. Ricardo and his wife are super friendly hosts. They have great tips on what to do around the area.

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. 

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.

Beautiful views, pool, air conditioning. The location was perfectly situated to be remote, but only a short walk to restaurants and shopping. Our host was wonderful and accommodating. It was just perfect.

Very pleasant stay at Ocean Front Bungalows - Paradise Rentals. Great location to the town and beaches as well as beautiful views from around the pool and rooms. Ricardo and his wife were very hospitable and helpful to with any questions. Rooms were comfortable and clean and we look forward to our next visit.

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!

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!

To be honest, there were no negatives. Truly paradise and everything you could possibly ask for in a tropical vacation. 33 Degree weather every single day. Pool on site was clean and warm. There is nothing you can say about this location that could be negative.

Everything.. we were only planning on staying for 7 days. Less then an hour being here we changed our plans for the rest of our stay in Panama and stayed here for 11 day. We travel many times per year around the world and I admit this location, property, staff and amenities are 10 / 10 exceptional. The staff upgraded us to a complete house. It was aprox 400 sq/ft equipped fully with full kitchen, king size bed, air conditioning and patio overlooking the ocean. Largest houses in the area and very clean. Couldn't have asked for anything better.
