Santa Catalina Hotel Special

The best place to stay in Santa Catalina is a private 4 room lodge overlooking the surf break. As you will see in the attachment the house offers amazing views of the surf break and sunset. Among any place in Santa Catalina and all my years going there, I can guarantee this is the only place overlooking the surf break that will offer;

- High Quality Mattresses , Sheets and Pillows (Great after a memorable surf session).
- Clean Room with AC and comfortable bathrooms (Every other hotel of the 4 main break options is not clean enough and offers poor service)
- Customer Service (There will always be someone to take care of your needs - Food and other travel arrangements such as fishing and surfing Coiba)
- A formal catering menu with pricing
- Access to a Panga Boat (Picture attached) with good engine, fish finder and GPS to take trips to Coiba Island and Cebaco Island. Optional. 

  The reason why its so important to overlook the wave is because Panama has 20 ft tides which means if you are not there at the right time (when rocks are covered) someone will be there before you. Catalina is a very powerful wave and its always good to understand how it breaks and what is the best tide to go in. Furthermore, the house is right on the entrance of the channel where people paddle into the surf break giving you quick access. Other options might be more economical but will take at least a 15 min walk to just find out if its the right tide and then another 10 - 15 min walk on the large rocks. Catalina is a long paddle out as well. I  have attached pictures of the accommodation and personal water shots I have taken for evalutaion.
