Catalina's Hideaway

We had a fantastic stay - super helpful and pleasant staff. Food was also very good. The resort also arranged our snorkel tour to Coiba and assisted in transport to the main road to meet our shuttle to our next destination. We would definitely comeback and recommend.

Unser Beach Cabin war sehr schön ausgestattet. Tolle Fliesen in Dusche und Bad. Kaffee ist inklusive. Traumhafte Gartenanlage, sehr schöner Pool. Allerdings steht in der Ausschreibung zwei Doppelbetten. Es handelt sich hierbei um ein Hochbett mit sehr steiler Treppe. Es wird extrem warm und die Klimaanlage war überfordert.

Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt im Catalinsa Hideaway sehr genossen! Die Lage ist traumhaft – mitten in der Natur, ruhig und perfekt zum Entspannen. Besonders gut gefallen hat uns der wunderschöne Poolbereich. Das Personal war sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit, Die Zimmer sind sauber und geschmackvoll eingerichtet, wenn auch teilweise etwas einfacher gehalten. Man hat kein helles Licht im Haus(Bad) und man kann den Raum nicht wirklich gut abdunkeln. Das Frühstück ist sehr einfach. Das könnte man sicher optimieren. Das Essen ist aber sonst sehr Lecker. Insgesamt ein wunderbarer Ort, um mal abzuschalten und Panama von seiner ruhigen Seite zu erleben. Wir kommen gerne wieder!

Wenn man Übernachtung mit Frühstück bucht und dann nur 3 kleine Gerichte zur Auswahl hat und dazu Kaffee bezahlen musst, macht es leider das Gesamtbild kaputt. Ansonsten echt super. Ambiente toll, Küche super.

Wow, this is a truly special place and hidden gem! The “tree house” is a beautiful and peaceful escape where you are surrounded by nature. The bed is really comfortable and the large deck may be my all time favorite reading spot. Lovely pool, yoga studio and restaurant with delicious food and a great cocktail and wine menu. Really enjoyed talking with the owners— they truly care about their guests and the environment and have worked hard to make an eco-dream come true! A place to return to for sure!

Hosting my seventh retreat, I’ve worked with a variety of retreat centers, and this was by far the best experience yet. From the moment we arrived, the team’s attention to detail, warmth, and dedication made everything seamless. Their genuine care for our group allowed us to drop in deeply to our experience without distraction. For those planning a retreat in Panama, I highly recommend spending a night in Casco Viejo before traveling down to Santa Catalina. Exploring the historic charm, vibrant culture, and rich energy of the city created the perfect transition. By the time we arrived at the retreat center, we were grounded and fully present. The opening ceremony set a powerful tone for the week ahead, and from there, everything unfolded with ease. The retreat center itself is an absolute sanctuary—nestled on the ocean, with breathtaking views, a tranquil atmosphere, and thoughtfully designed spaces that encourage both connection and introspection. The food was beyond delicious—fresh, nourishing, and crafted with such care that every meal felt like a gift. The staff was incredibly helpful, going above and beyond to ensure every detail was taken care of, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in the experience. We also had the pleasure of joining a workshop led by Anthea and Ryan, which added another beautiful dimension to our time there. With so many additional options for healing and unique experiences, this retreat center truly offers something special. I left feeling deeply inspired and grateful—and I cannot wait to return!"*
