Hotel Sol y Mar was a pleasant surprise on our trip to Santa Catalina in the province of Veraguas. We had booked another hotel which were told was not recommended although it was in the Lonely Planet guidebook. The rooms were nicely done, clean, and decorated with 2 twin beds with semi-orthopedic matresses, closet, living room area with Sky satelite tv/dvd , mini-fridge, and 2 sofas.

The owner, Luis is a pleasant man with a friendly attitude, who goes out of his way to make sure we were comfortable. The meals were one of the best we had while in Santa Catalina with the Portuguese Octopus rice being soft and the filet mignon tender. At $66/night (March 2009) Sol y Mar offered above average accommodations worth the price for travellers looking for something other than the abundant surfer hostal experience. We never could get the hot water to work, but that was possibly user error as the hotel advertises hot water showers and the truth is we never asked about getting it to work either. Cash is king in Santa Catalina, as we did not find an ATM (we didn't look either as we were cash heavy) but it was a plus that the hotel accepts visa, mastercard, and clave.

Hotel Sol y Mar - Santa Catalina

Getting there: Sol y Mar Hotel is located on the 2 lane road to Santa Catalina before arriving at the school on the right hand side. A big white sign well lit at night should guide you well. If you make it to the pink house on the left with the public phones, the police station, or the Pacific ocean, you went about 3 minutes too far.
