It was low season, so the hotel was not that crowded. The service of the staff was beyond my expectations. We included the breakfasts on our reservation and all options I had for the three days were awesome. Best grilled cheese sandwich I've ever had. The room was comfy, I knew we were just coming back to sleep as we had many day trips booked. I fully recomend staying here, the cabanas were so beautiful. ![Breakfast](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/f049164a-bb04-470c-8d13-1677e87c1a6e-1758050214150.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Cabins](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/e0a32bb6-4e96-4723-a8e2-3968782e8696-1758050214374.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Ocean View](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/f35cceae-008c-4f64-8260-2a12ec6a1421-1758050214787.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Monica Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### enrique 29 Dec 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Beautiful view of ocean , highly recommended the rooms with ocean view ##### enrique Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Danika 22 Jan 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Rooms were clean, comfortable and big!

The ameneties were quality also ! But the staff is not really welcoming and could benefit from smiling ( except Nando who was the sunshine of this place) let’s transfer some good vibes from bambuda lodge :) ##### Gabrielle Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Claas 2 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities By far the best hotel I stayed in Panama in. Great location. Awesome staff who helped to jumpstart a car too. Best place to stay in Sta. Catalina ##### Claas Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Maribeth 7 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities The staff are extremely nice. Great staff. Very helpful ##### Maribeth Stayed 6 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jorge 16 Oct 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Definitely, one of the best choices to stay in Santa Catalina. Great hotel with great staff. A very good value for money. The only thing that should be improved is the access to the property, since it is in a very bad shape. ##### Jorge Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Joanna 4 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities #### No Prison Island Beautiful facility & very nice staff. Call me by my name the entire 3 days we were there. There was a mishap on our Coiba Prison Tour by the service depart at Bambuda which kind of ruined everything. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/B88411ACD331FFC065CC954B5E467216B713FD631743809914854.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/681447E7771EA218A6F5A0C5F2C2EBF2FBC744FD1743809912915.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/DC1F9C9AEB4ADDC1E241C19140E753EC2655EF451743809910850.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/C05D6F57FC9CE2E865E734BCA202B0E557A4F5CA1743809916181.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Joanna Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Aimee 1 Feb 2025 Liked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities This was a very quaint hotel located in a beautiful area. The view of the ocean was stunning and the decor was really nice. The pool was perfect with lots of areas to sit and chill. The pool deck had nice loungers but the only thing missing was umbrellas for shade. Hopefully some will be added since this hotel only recently opened. The staff was super friendly and accommodating. The food was excellent and of high quality. This is our second stay at a Bambuda property in Panama and would stay again at either one. This was a really nice property. ##### Aimee Stayed 4 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### George 29 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Resort is beautiful right on the Ocean Room was very clean Staff was great ##### George Stayed 5 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Natasha 23 Jan 2026 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great stay, awesome staff, good food and drink options, clean, beautiful views, convenient location. The only thing I would note is that the property isn't directly on a sandy beach like I thought it would be from the photos... it's a 3 minute walk :) ##### Natasha Stayed 4 nights in Jan 2026 ### 8/10 Good #### Albert 7 Feb 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Helpful staff ##### Albert Stayed 1 night in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### colomba 13 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Amazing ! ##### colomba Stayed 1 night in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Terry 12 Feb 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities The property was very nice. Staff were helpful, but had a difficult time understanding English. ##### Terry Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 19 Aug 2025 Liked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Beautiful hotel but not very welcoming Beautiful hotel but staff can be more welcoming. The female staff was incredibly friendly and warm, while the male staff was much less friendly. The male waiter mentioned happy hour but didnt bother to explain that this only included sodas and 1 cocktail which made it feel like a scam. We left the key to have our room cleaned but this wasnt done upon return. We had higher expectations for a rather expensive stay. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Renee 27 Aug 2024 Disliked: Staff & service I would not recommend this hotel over others in the area. We felt they were overcharging for many amenities over what other hotels charge. And the food was substandard with small proportions. On top of all that the beach fronting the hotel was rocky and unsightly. If you must come to Santa Catalina then another cheaper alternative is the better choice ##### Renee Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### guissel 6 Jan 2026 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Nnn ##### guissel Stayed 1 night in Jan 2026 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [3 Star Hotels in Barcelona](https://www.expedia.co.uk/3Star-Barcelona-Hotels.s30-0-d179992.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [The Roost Bed and Breakfast](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Appleton-Hotels-The-Roost-Bed-And-Breakfast.h15845968.Hotel-Information) > > [SUNRISE Crystal Bay Resort - Grand Select](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hurghada-Hotels-SUNRISE-Crystal-Bay-Resort-Grand-Select.h3164164.Hotel-Information) > > [Maxx Royal Bodrum ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bodrum-City-Center-Hotels-Maxx-Royal-Bodrum.h99636724.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Pietrasanta](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pietrasanta-Hotels.d6023880.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [B&B Norfolk](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Norfolk-Bed-And-Breakfasts.d6046223-aaBedAndBreakfasts.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Hotels in Martha's Vineyard](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Marthas-Vineyard-Hotels.d6047691.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Chalets Saint-Jean-de-Maurienne](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Saint-Jean-De-Maurienne-Chalets.d6270881-aaChalets.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Likya Gardens Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kas-Hotels-Kalkan-Likya-Garden.h90786069.Hotel-Information) > > [B&B Kilmore](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kilmore-Bed-And-Breakfasts.d3000375855-aaBedAndBreakfasts.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) ### Flights > [Flights from Tallinn (TLL) to Bristol (BRS)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/tll/brs/tallinn-to-bristol) > > [Flights from Da Nang (DAD) to Phu Quoc (PQC)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/dad/pqc/da-nang-to-phu-quoc) > > [Flights from Leeds (LBA) to Santorini (JTR)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/lba/jtr/leeds-to-thira) ### Cars > [Car hire in El Salvador](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Destinations-In-El-Salvador.d53.Car-Hire-Destinations) > > [Alamo Rent A Car Destinations In Europe](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Alamo-Rent-A-Car-Destinations-In-Europe.d6022967-c6.Car-Rental-Destination-Suppliers) > > [Car hire in Agios Nikolaos](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Compare-Cheap-Car-Hire-In-Agios-Nikolaos.d5193.Car-Hire-Guide) ### Activities > [Things to do in Vila Nova de Gaia](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Things-To-Do-In-Vila-Nova-De-Gaia.d4905.Travel-Guide-Activities) ### Packages > [Bamburgh Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bamburgh.d181022.Holidays-City-Breaks) > > [Cloughaneely Golf Club](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cloughaneely-Golf-Club-Falcarragh.d6173976.Attraction) ### General > [Visit Mount Pleasant](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mount-Pleasant.dx6084665) > > [Visit Addingham](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Addingham.dx3000402441) ---
