Warm and welcoming guest houses are ideal for travellers who prefer unfussy accommodation with a personal touch. They are usually family-run, and your host will provide local recommendations and optional meals. Often cheaper than regular hotels, guest houses can also feature a cosy living room and a garden.
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
Nice quiet but buzzy hostel - great breakfasts, and nice (but small) cabins. There were nice communal areas where people often chatted and got to know each other, but it also wasn't a "party hostel" where you might be disturbed by noise etc. Staff were also very friendly and helpful.
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.
Our stay at Bodhi was quiet nice! We slept in a so called "Tipi" but it was like a really small tiny house with an own bath. The community areas were also very nice and cosy. It is located in the "city centre" of Santa Catalina and very close to mini markets and tour provider for snorkelling or diving. Consequently it wasn't a surfer spot at all. All in all we enjoyed our stay at this hostel and we would really recommend this place to all, who love an relaxing place to be.
Great hostel! Very social, friendly, cosy, mature, clean, and the three guys who work or run it are great. Nice location in the village, quiet at night. I felt welcome and relaxed staying here.
