About Hotel Santa Catalina Panamá

Hotel Santa Catalina Panamá is a 16-room boutique hotel on the beach road to Estero Beach in Santa Catalina, Veraguas Province. The village surf break lies in front of it. There is a pool, a restaurant called Pescao, and tours to Coiba Island, plus a transport service of its own for the journey.

Hotel Santa Catalina Panamá stands on the road to Estero Beach, in the village of Santa Catalina, Soná District, Veraguas Province. The surf break is right in front of the property, and the channel surfers use to paddle out starts at the hotel's door. Five room types share the same basics: air conditioning, a private bathroom with hot water, and a terrace with hammocks.

Beds change from room to room. The Standard Room has a king bed plus a bunk bed and sleeps four. The Deluxe Double and the Deluxe Triple add a kitchenette, and so does the Family Room, a two-floor cabin for up to six with two king beds and two twins. Single-bed layouts are possible if you ask ahead.

The days here lean toward the water. The hotel lists tours to Coiba Island, snorkeling, diving, kayaking, horse riding, birdwatching, fishing and a walk on the Santa Catalina Island Trail, along with massages and yoga, surf and fitness sessions. On site you will find a pool, the Pescao restaurant and a bar called Eco Bar.
