Awesome location, great food, clean and very maintained property. Hosts made us feel very welcomed.

It’s rather a suggestion, and I do believe other guests mentioned it too, but it would be nicer if there would be either a screen or a door to separate the toilet from the other side of the room.

Spacious room with garden view. Amazing tropical patio shower! The pool and restaurant were very nice and cozy. Staff was also very friendly

For the upscale price, it's a bist rustic. There were a couple days where the cleaning team was less than thorough.

This is the most upscale property in Santa Catalina. Rooms are like villas, large and comortable. Pool is beautiful with lots of greenery. Food in the restaurant is really good...but not incredible. Air conditioning works well, but power often goes out.

- breakfast could be included regarding the room rates - no door to separate the toilet from the rest of the room

- the outdoor shower - spacious and comfortable room - the terrace and the pool to relax - free bikes - high quality food in own restaurant - nice housekeeping staff - welcome drink while checking in - everything in walking distance - our little friend Gigi the cat :)

I didn't like the bathroom as it didn't have a door for privacy although liked the outdoor shower. Deluxe room more for Honeymooners.

Very relaxing. Close to town for activities and the beach. Very quiet setting to live and sleep well. Restaurant at site was excellent. Dinner food was expensive though delicious. Breakfast was excellent and more affordable.

The staff / tenant were unfriendly - not smiling nor welcoming. It feels like tourists are bothering, despite the price you pay for the stay. Poor noise insulation between rooms, that got us to enjoy a german argument in the morning (lovely). Breakfast took 1h to be served, even though we were 2 tables only.

The room, the outdoor shower (🤍), the pool.

Lots of kids around . The rooms have thin walls so you hear your neighbors

Very nice set up of the villas in a large garden. Excellent restaurant! Very nice pool area

Everything was great, very nice and friendly people, the bungalows were very modern, clean and well equipped, beautiful outside area, very nice to relax and explore Santa Catalina

It’s hard to complain as everything was perfect! My only recommendation would be to have coffee and tea making facilities within the rooms and an extra trash can in the room for rubbish other than the toilet one.

Beautiful rooms, beautiful property and the restaurant was incredible - definitely best food in Santa Catalina.

The property was beautiful and peaceful. The grounds were well maintained and natural. The rooms were very comfortable and private. The outdoor shower was so enjoyable. The restaurant had many u unique touches. The pool was clean and welcoming. It was just a quick walk down to the ocean and close to the Santa Catalina a beaches. The use of bones was a great bonus.

Construction, but this is understandable. Music at the pool starting at 4pm. It is such a relaxing atmosphere and the music was a distraction to reading my book. More relaxing music would be my best suggestion.

The restaurant was exceptional. Our room was super cozy. Pool area was so relaxing. Free bike rentals were an awesome perk.

Amazing location and service at villa coco. When we arrived from a long ride we got a nice drink. Our luggage were carried to our room. The room is spacious and there is outdoor shower. The food in Villa coco is amazing. The breakfast, lunch and dinner were amazing, there was nice music in the restaurant. Therefore we only ate in Villa coco. The swimming pool is super nice, I think the best in Panama of all the locations I have been. The beds at the swimming pool are very comfortable, so you can sunbathe the whole day. At the last day, the owner of Villa coco was super friendly and he brought us to the city centre of Santa Catalina with the pick up, because there are no taxis/busses. In the garden of Villa Coco you can walk to a hidden beach and at night you can see an amazing sky full with beautiful stars. We got a notification that there are constructions in the garden, but it was not disturbing at all. It was really quite and we could really relax in the garden. I will totally recommend a stay in Villa Coco. You will totally unwind and relax there!

very slow breakfast service during one morning led to being late for our booked tour

spacious room, great swimming pool, ideal location to surf

Everything was great! Thank you :)

The property was super clean, cozy and beautiful. We felt very comfortable during our stay at Villa Coco and didn’t even feel the need to leave the property at times. Relaxing at the pool was a blast.

Villa Coco is delightful and relaxing. The food is amazing. The staff members were helpful and friendly. My room was spacious and beautifully decorated. I especially enjoyed the outdoor shower and the hammock on the front porch. I could have easily spent the day just lounging outside my room or by the pool.

- catalogue of fines and prohibitions bothered us and haven't experienced anywhere else in Panama (e.g. 100$ for bringing a cooler to the pool, 40$ for AC running in the room while not in the room, pool towels not allowed to take to the beach) - we prefer AC running in the evening while we have dinner and turn it off when we come back to our room (doesn't make any difference regarding saving energy but would lead to a fine here) - bicycles are in bad condition (brakes not working) - breakfast not included - rather high-priced compared to other hotels on same level

- beautiful room with kingsize bed, outdoor shower and patio - nice pool are with canopy beds - beautifully decorated restaurant area - delicious fresh food at dinner and great atmosphere - hotel organizes tours to Isla Coiba in advance

I would suggest to reduce volume of music in the restaurant. And turn of half of the outdoor lights plus all lights illuminating palm trees (green/blue/red/etc).

Lovely and comfortable stay.

We wish the beach was closer.

The villa was lovely, well managed and very spacious and clean. A close walk to the local town. A longer walk to the beach than expected (definitely more than 400 m that was advertised) but we managed just fine. Excellent restaurant and service!

The coffee is not strong enough for expreso or capuchinos and not all villas are equiped with coffee machines.

Great location, excellent service, fabulous food and confort! Villa Coco is on top of the hill yet between the two main beaches and walking distance to the center of Santa Catalina. The lanscaping is beautiful and the various cabañas are well designed for privacy, with very confortable beds, nice bathrooms with outside shower and each villa has a terrace. The pool is long enough to do laps and is well maintained. The lounge chairs are inviting after a full day in Coiba! We were a family of five staying in two villas for 3 nights. We tried a good restaurant in the village but decide to have all our meals at Villa Coco’s restaurant Ai Mamita, because it was so good! Compliments to the Chef!! Would recommand Villa Coco to friends and family. Also they have a generator so you get electricity when the village is out of it.

Pool. Silent and refreshing environment. Close to the beach. The room was great. Dinner was really tasty.
