Santa Catalina Travel Guide

Tourist Guide

This is a great beach for surfers.
you definitely have to do a tour to Isla Coiba! You can go snorkeling (or diving) there and see all kinds of animals (sharks, turtles, manta rays, a lot of fish and corals,...). We also saw dolphins and between July and October there are humpback whales in this area.
We did the tour with "Watching Dolphins" and were extremely happy with our choice.

Cuando llegamos no teniamos habitación
Cuando llegamos no teniamos habitación. Las tenian todas ocupadas. Tubimos q irnos a otro hotel. No hicieron caso a la reserva de expedia. Parece ser q lo suelen hacerlo muy amenudo. No reserven no cumplen. Llegas a Santa Catalina y te encuentras sin hotel.

8/10 Very Good! (1 review)
The system to get in the cabin is pretty clever, and the place looked nice. Yet, I would have appreciated instructions on where to leave the money and also if the grass around the cabin was lower or cut.
