    It’s not 100% like the pictures (anymore). Also, some aspects could use a touch up. E.g. the bathroom does not have a curtain, the shower does not always have hot water. The rooms view the parking lot, but still a lot of private space for yourself including the hammock and lazy chairs.

    Amazing location and the view across the sea is incredible. Elizabeth and Israel were extremely friendly and helpful and will help you with all your questions. Breakfast not a lot of choice but freshly made with fresh fruits and coffee every morning. The pool area is nice and there’s plenty of room to relax!

    The host, Israel was wonderful and extremely helpful. The room was clean and cozy, The refrigerator works very well. The location is also good for going to the beach, restaurants and mini markets. The view from the dining area is spectacle. Plus, they have a great breakfast.

    Absolutely great stay here. The staff is super friendly and helpful. Breakfast is fine, the pool is nice to cool down a bit. A/C works, beds are comfortable. Not much more that you can ask for. Plus, you get amazing sunsets that you can watch just a minute max from your bed. Absolutely recommend.

    Nothing!

    There are so many great things about this place, but the top thing is the people. Israel and Elisabeth are so welcoming and warm and the whole atmosphere is about making you feel like you are connected with others and are at home. We stayed for 4 days first and went back the next week for 3 days as it was so wonderful to be there. On top of that, the view is amazing and definitely the best in the whole area. We looked at many other hotels and nowhere was better, starting with breakfast on the terrace and ending with a beautiful sunset for dinner. If you can’t eat there, then try Chano next door. Maybe one of the best meals we have ever had anywhere. The rooms are comfortable and clean and everything works fine. In addition, they can organize trips to Coiba for snorkeling and walking.

    The pictures may have been taken when it first got built. It needs a little TLC. We stayed in the junior suite and when they say second bedroom, they mean a bed in the living room. Also, the private bathroom has the shower in the main bedroom, which is a little weird.

    Great location with a fantastic view. Elizabeth at the front desk is wonderful and really makes the place. Pool is small, but nice. Wonderfully quiet.

    Paradise with stunning views

    The facilities are a bit rundown, i feel the pictures are from better times, maybe pre-covid. Rooms are spacious but just a bit scruffy. Which is fine, the garden makes up for that, but (at this moment) it’s not the luxurious feel the pictures portray it to have, or reflecting the price you pay. Nevertheless, still worth it since the views are the best.

    Without a doubt (one of) the best locations you will find in Catalina. The views from the garden + deck are unmatched. Very kind and warm staff, excellent breakfast and dinner. We had a great day trip to Coiba arranged via the hotel. Also, many restaurants within a short walking distance! Nice pool. But the biggest magic is the view, truly stunning and nothing short of paradise. Very happy to have stayed here.

    The hotel sits on a little hill, nestled by trees. It is extremely peaceful here. The staff are friendly and were very kind to our child. They accept dogs as well. The suite was airy, light and with nice wooden furniture. A good plus is that it had a full kitchen!

    Nice, small hotel but nothing extraordinary

    The "center" of Santa Catalina with the diving schools is a 7-10 min walk away (which is no problem but just an extra info). It is a small hotel - not new but ok and clean. The pool is on the smaller side. For breakfast there are 3 options and the portions is not that big. You have to pay extra for fresh fruit juices. In our room there were kitchen cupboards, a fridge and kitchen furniture but there was no sink, stove or kitchen equipment. Not sure why this half-finished kitchen was there.

    Very friendly lady at the reception. Good location at the sea. However, the beach is not accessible from the hotel as the coast is very steep. The drinks at the hotel are fairly priced. We didn't try the restaurant, though.
