"This hotel was lovely. Situated on a cliffside with access to a part sand/part rocky beach, it provided a lovely oasis. There was plenty of greenspace to relax and watch the sunset. The pool was refreshing, but often crowded. The restaurant had amazing food, particularly for vegetarians. And prices were very good. The service was a little slow and not clearly organized, but the staff were all kind and helpful when asked. We stayed in a family room which was clean and comfortable, but did not have a balcony. If the opportunity arose, we would happily return to Bambuda Santa Catalina."

"It’s a well curated place with 6 bungalow’s and a nice pool, overall done with care and good taste However it’s overpriced for what you get especially considering that it is located in a very rough and poorly maintained area with abandoned constructions projects , junks and hazards around the property, access to the tiny beach require going through concrete waist and rusted metals, to be fair it’s pretty much all over Santa Catalina not just this property. The other reason I think is overpriced is the property do not provide any service such as basic cleaning during your stay any food, drinks simply the small habitation and a shared pool. "

"Our only reason for staying in the area was to dive Coiba Island. I really wanted to enjoy our stay at this property choosing to stay away from Santa Catalina which is about 15 minutes away by car. Paying 3x the local going rate in the area, I had high expectations for this property in the middle of nowhere. The red flags started with a lack of check-in instructions, followed by having to meet the owners (which seemed paranoid and unnecessary) at an exact time that had to be specified ahead of time at a padlocked gate that had to be opened and closed every time you wanted to enter or leave the compound. The rolling power outages, poor AC that had to be turned off when leaving the place, ants crawling all over the kitchen, and the bed bugs that tore me up in the downstairs bedroom were the last straw. After being texted for a checkout time while putting our son to bed and being told that 10am was the latest, we decided to get out as quickly as possible. The beach is nothing special, riddled with dead crabs and debris. If you really need to stay in this area, there’s a nice hotel next door with a decent restaurant. "

"Loved my patio with private hammock surrounded by plants, the view from the restaurant & pool amazing."

"Amazing Hotel and staff. "

"nice facility. We felt very comfortable. Great place to be ...quiet...peaceful....."

"I spent a week at Surfasana Lodge. It is a unique property on a hill overlooking the Pacific Ocean. Surfasana Lodge is very peaceful surrounded by nature. Mauricio is a chill guy that can answer all your questions about Santa Catalina in general or surfing in particular. He is very interesting to talk with. I thoroughly enjoyed my week at Surfasana. The rooms are very clean and well appointed. If you come to Santa Catalina for surfing or diving, I highly recommend Surfasana Lodge for your accomodations. "

"This a quite location with a super outdoor ambiance. Loved that part of it. Google maps and the one on the site were conflicting. Made finding the place a bit of a challenge. Once there we were happy to be there. "

"This property could use some love! We arrived to a grade 10 drive up a steep steep hill or option 2 - a steep climb up 120 stairs (not a misprint) with no sign indicating you were actually heading to reception. Once checked in we had to go down the 120 stairs to our car. A very kind receptionist gentleman drove down the hill to help us get our luggage up to our room. So only a 30 stair climb from this point! Needless to say you will get a workout. The room was nice. There was air conditioning which was necessary as it is the hot season here AND we were hot after the climb. We were able to get our car part way up the “driveway”. Most clients did not chance it! All this and we do enjoy our stay in Santa Catalina. We do recommend Panama Dive Center for scuba diving!"
