We had a very good stay at Sol Y Mar. The owner Brian and staff are super friendly and helpful. Our room was comfortable and very clean. The bathroom fixtures were old and a bit jerry-rigged but in good working order.
The view of the sunset from poolside is spectacular!
We really enjoyed the food, both the fresh-made breakfasts as well as an excellent dinner with fresh local ingredients and killer mojitos.
A word of warning... the property is on the side of a very steep hill with many steps up to most of the rooms and the pool/bar/restaurant area. You should make arrangements with the staff to carry your bags up the hill in the back of their pickup truck (I wasn't that smart!)

Wonderful view from hill top
Posted 30 May 2023 on HotelsFabulous spot, and good breakfasts and dinners, just be aware of the steep climb from road to reception/room and that the hosts can drive their truck down the hill to collect you and luggage if you don't have a vehicle tough enough to climb it!

Hotel was allright, altough quite climby and steep. Staff was great. But Santa Catalina is'nt worth to visit considering the awfull drive (more than 25 km of potholes), the distance from the Pan-Am highway, the more than less disappointing boat ride to the islands and the difficult public access to the beach. Far from its reputation. Go to the Azuero beaches preferably.

What a hidden gem we discovered. We were looking for snorkelling while wintering in Panama and we found Santa Catalina…next step accommodation. With zero knowledge of the area we jumped in on this place. Three nights of total relaxation. Food is excellent, room is perfect and most of all the owners and staff are amazing. The view is breathtaking, pool/bar/restaurant area fun to chill in. They will support any activity you need. The only watch out are the steps BUT let them know and they will help you up and down. The owners are newish and super committed to their investment. We would return in a heartbeat.
