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.

Renee

Disliked: Staff & service
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
