I really enjoyed my stay at Casa Manila. The location, the garden and the views are just magical. The whole atmosphere is very calm and relaxing. The little houses are cozy and tastefully decorated. They're also very clean and I slept well. On top, Kike and Pia are such warm and lovely hosts! It's also great that you can use their kitchen. I highly recommend staying there.

I loved my stay! The lodge is super cute with stunning views, very clean, and comfortable. The hosts are so friendly and made me feel at home. Hot water and A/C felt like such a nice luxury, and the whole place has a relaxed, peaceful vibe. It’s also close to town. I rented a car, but you could easily get by with the bicycles they provide. Overall, such a lovely stay and I’d definitely come back!

Casa Bodhi is stylish, modern, and yet homey with only four units, as well as a very private swimming pool on site. Perfectly located between La Punta and Playa Estero for easy walking access to close by food, shopping and surf. The host is wonderful, clean rooms, and plenty of extra towels provided for shower, pool and beach, they even leave you fresh tropical fruit in the kitchen for when you arrive. All in all a great experience, I will be back.

    Decent kitchen, the outdoor area was nice, location was perfect for the bus and nice and quiet at night. They did a laundry service that was 7.50 for a full load which worked out to be really cheap if you found people to share with. I stayed in the private hut for one night and that was really cute and comfy.

    Good vibe, very social. Location is good - right across a fruteria and supermarket, 5 minutes to the close beach and about 20 minutes to the surfing beach. Fully equipped kitchen and lots of refrigeration space. The hostel offers shuttles and fairly cheap tours to Coiba

    Top location right on the beach. If your budget allows, we recommend staying in the separate house overlooking the bay. It has the best view not only in the hostel but arguably, the whole of Santa Catalina. It also boasts air-co, two large beds and is super quiet. The guys running the place are very helpful and charming.

    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.

    The rooms are very clean and neatly decorated. Clean and spacious communal kitchen as well. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The location is great, some cute cafés and restaurants nearby, plus Santa Catalina beach where coiba expeditions start. Estero beach is a 20 minute walking distance

    Nice hostel with good vibes in a really beautiful location. You live in the jungle right next to the beach. The best thing is, that you have a private entrance to the beach. The well equiped kitchen was always very, very clean!

    The location is unbeatable: very close from Santa Catalina main street (use the handy shortcut by the beach), and has amazing shared facilities, such as the pool and the nice bar and patio area. The budget twin room is literally just a tiny room with two beds, full stop, but it's a great deal because you will still have access to all the amazing share facilities. Staff is nice and helpful.
