Perfect place with perfect people! The place that you should be if you are in Santa Catalina! Very cosy room in a small eco village, managed by great people! Amazing ocean view, through the room and the property generally. Elli and Segur - if I'm writing well ;) are always available to give any information you might need and they are both totally gentle and kind. Last but not least, the cleaning in the bathrooms were absolutely perfect - so don't hesitate to book because of the shared bathroom. And always they are free since it's just 4 cabins that they are sharing them.

If you pick this place, you will not regret it. If you are concerned with shared open space/facility, these are really well organized. The terrasse is really big with seats, tables, and Hamach, all facing the amazing sea/beach view. Just a few steps down through the garden and you are on the beach/sea. Great decoration and style of the rooms. Also, not marked in the description, but the kitchen area has a small cooker. Always handy. Really a place we will remember.

I stayed at Bambuda Lodge Santa Catalina in two different rooms, first a private house and then a room in the main building. Both were great, but what really stood out was the pool area with its magnificent view over the sea. I have visited several Bambuda locations and this one had the best food. The staff is incredibly friendly and can arrange anything you need, from Coiba tours to surf classes. The location is perfect, right between the two main beaches, making it easy to go back and forth. I ended up staying an extra day because I loved it so much. Highly recommend and a million thanks to the Bambuda Santa Catalina team for making my stay so memorable.

Good location, everthing important is within walking distance. The rooms are very well equipped and clean (and will be cleaned during your stay as well). Waterbottels can be refilled for 1 dollar. Breakfast is very good and includes as much coffee as you want. The sunset there is amazing!!! The staff is very friendly and helpful. Especially Israel helped me a lot. My phone was broken so he let me use his computer and phone to contact my friends. He can help you to organize tours. Additionally he brought me to the boat which picked me up on my last day when he saw my large backpack.

The room was small yet comfortable and had everything I needed. I took surfing lessons right out front, and the instructor met me at the hotel, which was super convenient. Great location.

    Location was amazing being right on the beach. Main area had lots of sitting areas to relax and find shade. Atmosphere and decor was relaxing and inviting. Great having a pool when you didn’t feel like going in the ocean. Beach was beautiful and long enough for a good walk.

    The location is to die for. Right on the beach, you can hear the waves crashing and the breeze blowing as you're falling asleep. It was kind of funny because you have to cross a little "river" or inlet on foot to get there, and depending on the tide it can be a bit of water to wade through (roller bags not recommended!) but it just added to the sense of adventure and seclusion. It was very easy to book a day trip to Coiba Island via reception, as well as sign up for surf lessons.
