Great location, very cute hotel and great view on the famous surfing spot!
Really lovely hotel. Staff are very friendly, food is good, rooms are great, pool is nice and not busy - can always get a chair - and the best part are the free bikes and kayaks! Would definitely stay here again.

Outstanding hotel with great vibe, massage, and pool.
Faces one of the best surf spots in the world, with a pool and restaurant that has a view n food that can't be matched.
Fantastic place!! Beautiful views, excellent facilities, super-friendly staff, and loved the pool.
Only regret is that we could not stay longer. But already planning to return next year.
Visited for 4 nights and would recommend above the other hotels in Santa Catalina. A very relaxed atmosphere with great pool and restaurant area to hang out.
The site has a restaurant overlooking an infinity pool, overlooking a great surfing location.
Staff are friendly and accommodating, and the owners both reached out to welcome us.
A wonderful location that was quiet and with a wonderful view. My wife Kelly and I had a delux room that was perfect for us, and our 3 young adult children and friend had a triple, and it was the perfect reunion/graduation location that had something for everyone. Paddleboarding, kayaking and a gorgeous pool to watch surfing. Great launch for Coiba, and birding with Javier was wonderful.
The hotel is a hub for your vacation. They have a decent restaurant and can help you with all kinds of activities. It takes a bit of walking to go to the beach or the village though. The response time on WhatsApp could also be improved.
Beautiful location right on an excellent surf break with nice pool, delicious food, friendly/attentive staff (especially, Elena, mi favorita!), comfortable, spacious rooms and all around great experience.
