Amazing location with a sea view, short walk (5 min.) to the center and Enrique (the owner) is super friendly and helpful! There is also a shared kitchen where you can cook. We felt very comfortable here.

Amazing location and service at villa coco. When we arrived from a long ride we got a nice drink. Our luggage were carried to our room. The room is spacious and there is outdoor shower. The food in Villa coco is amazing. The breakfast, lunch and dinner were amazing, there was nice music in the restaurant. Therefore we only ate in Villa coco. The swimming pool is super nice, I think the best in Panama of all the locations I have been. The beds at the swimming pool are very comfortable, so you can sunbathe the whole day. At the last day, the owner of Villa coco was super friendly and he brought us to the city centre of Santa Catalina with the pick up, because there are no taxis/busses. In the garden of Villa Coco you can walk to a hidden beach and at night you can see an amazing sky full with beautiful stars. We got a notification that there are constructions in the garden, but it was not disturbing at all. It was really quite and we could really relax in the garden. I will totally recommend a stay in Villa Coco. You will totally unwind and relax there!

Excellent Check-in and excellent communication with Paola via WhatsApp . Paola comes every afternoon (16h- 19h), very friendly. We got the keys from the house keeper, or they would be on our door with our name. Little nice house ( very very clean) in a garden, very quiet place. Small terrasse with table and chairs. Inside : A sofa, a small kitchen, a rather large bedroom, and a tiny bathroom. Lots of towels. Good lights, AC. An excellent pizzeria and a gelateria quite close (100m).

Incredible location. Throwing back the curtains each morning, the surfers (often including Ricardo - the owner) were out in the waves off the point. What a view for breakfast! Bungalow was beautiful and well looked after. Ricardo and his wife could not have been nicer or more helpful- they made our stay truly memorable (including the fabulous margaritas!), and left us more knowledgeable about Panama and with many stories to tell.

Although the location only opened recently, staff tried to fix everything as good as possible. Food was decent, pool and bathrooms where clean. Next to some small mistakes due to recent opening, staff was eager to help you with information, bookings and were really nice! Really worth exploring this place. Location is perfect, close to town and restaurants

Elli, the manager, was amazing. She did everything she could to make us feel home. The view was fantastic, the scenery was just wow! The location was a 15 min walk from the center, which was fine. Nearby was a nice bar/restaurant for a drink.
