The hotel is a hub for your vacation. They have a decent restaurant and can help you with all kinds of activities. It takes a bit of walking to go to the beach or the village though. The response time on WhatsApp could also be improved.

Stunning ocean view.
3-night trip

8/10

This hotel was a little bit away from the main area in Santa Catalina, but walkable to the two main beaches. Nice lazing areas on the property, and access to kayaks and the water. Though no real beach, just a rocky entrance.

We stayed at Hotel Santa Catalina for 2 nights. It was absolutely gorgeous. A beautiful place to recharge.
