I had an incredible, relaxing stay at Tiki Lodge. I loved all the little touches from the tropical surf-inspired decor to the organic hand soap in the bathrooms (presented with a dehydrated orange peel). It was such an honour to be one of the first guests here (the place is spotless). My bed, the soft blue blanket, and all four pillows were super comfortable and the room has air conditioning and a fan. There is a pool (which changes lights at night) and you’re surrounded by palm trees with an all round zen feeling. Solo female travelers will appreciate that it’s on the main street just minutes walking from the beach and all the tour operators that organise trips to Coiba (they can also help you arrange tours). Breakfast is included and yummy with three available choices. This was one of those rare places that felt like home. Thank you so much everyone. I know where I’ll be staying whenever I next find myself in Santa Catalina.

I can highly recommend Casa Manila if you are looking for great Hostel in Santa Catalina. So let me start of with the location. You are located right at the ocean and have stunning view over it. You are perhaps only 20 meters away from the pacific and can take a dip whenever your heart desires. It’s truly the dream location for a hostel. The owners are even more amazing. Pia and Kike are always looking out for you if you are having a great time and are so friendly and polite doing so. The kitchen has some great equipment, especially a strong stove. The rooms are amazing and there is nothing to complain about. All in all I am very happy with my choice, so much so that I extended my stay multiple times

Great location, great restaurant and pool, great staff. It is totally worthy! The rooms are spacious and clean, and it’s nice to chill in the amaca with the geckos and the iguanas. The staff is particularly friendly - ask them for tips and to book with a local tour to visit Coiba, you won’t regret it! There’s also a great selection of surfboards to get for free to try at the Playa el Estero.

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.

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.
