Beautiful facility & very nice staff. Call me by my name the entire 3 days we were there. There was a mishap on our Coiba Prison Tour by the service depart at Bambuda which kind of ruined everything.

This was a very quaint hotel located in a beautiful area. The view of the ocean was stunning and the decor was really nice. The pool was perfect with lots of areas to sit and chill. The pool deck had nice loungers but the only thing missing was umbrellas for shade. Hopefully some will be added since this hotel only recently opened. The staff was super friendly and accommodating. The food was excellent and of high quality. This is our second stay at a Bambuda property in Panama and would stay again at either one. This was a really nice property.

Definitely, one of the best choices to stay in Santa Catalina. Great hotel with great staff. A very good value for money. The only thing that should be improved is the access to the property, since it is in a very bad shape.

I would not recommend this hotel over others in the area. We felt they were overcharging for many amenities over what other hotels charge. And the food was substandard with small proportions. On top of all that the beach fronting the hotel was rocky and unsightly. If you must come to Santa Catalina then another cheaper alternative is the better choice

Hôtel classique dans l’ensemble. l’espace bar et restaurant est sympathique mais pas un choix important en termes de plats surtout le soir. Barman pas très agréable contrairement aux serveuses. La piscine mériterait d’être un peu mieux entretenue. Clientèle très jeune qui se la raconte et qui, finalement, reste dans son coin, donc hotel pas si convivial que ça au final.

Lovely place and quality room with sea view ! The ameneties were quality also ! But the staff is not really welcoming and could benefit from smiling ( except Nando who was the sunshine of this place) let’s transfer some good vibes from bambuda lodge :)

Bel hôtel moderne et propre, vue magnifique de la chambre avec balcon. Personnel souriant et accueillant mais service très long au bar et pour le petit déjeuner. Manque de place au parking
