"Catalina's Hideaway is a beautiful place only 10 minutes drive from Santa Catalina.
The salt water pool is right next to the restaurant, so you can enjoy a nice cocktail or meal and jump straight back in. The food is slightly more expensive than the local restaurants but it never disappointed, it was both generous and delicious. The service was fast and the staff friendly, which can be hard to find in Panama.
The room was nice and clean, we particularly enjoyed the outdoor shower and the luxurious vegetation all around. Our room had a mezzanine, which was nice but not so safe for our young children, especially as the railing was very low and the stairs dangerous.
The hotel is located by the beach and you can borrow a paddleboard when the tide is high. The sea is calm and shallow so it is easy and safe. You can also go horse riding on the beach but it is pricey.
I really enjoyed my morning yoga class. It was only my son and I and the teacher did a great job at getting us energized and relaxed. To make it better, the yoga deck has a great view on the sea and tropical trees.
Great place overall, i highly recommend it!"
