"Kenny's" as it is known by locals is right on the point break for surfing. The rooms are huge and can easily fit three to four people. Everything is new. There are large lockers, one for each person in the room - yes 4 lockers in each room. Shenida, the manager is super at making any arrangements you may need.... More

We spent 3 nights in Santa Catalina / Panama. The hotel is small and pretty, all rooms have a fan and airconditioning and are very clean and sweet. There is a restaurant in the hotel which serves breakfast and lunch. For dinner we went to one of the several nice restaurants within 2-10 minutes walking distance. The hotel is right... More

Everything about the place was excellent! The room was very clean with wonderful sheets on the bed. Sheni, the manager couldn't have been more helpful. We took a side trip to the Carribean side and she kept our boards and dirty clothes (which were washed, folded, and ready to wear when we returned) so we wouldn't have to deal with... More

Let me say first, I did not stay here, so this review is for the reservation process -which I was very underwhelmed with and I will not be staying with them. On the good side, their response time (with bad policies) was very rapid. Their website asks for a PayPal deposit. No problem, I think. That seems like a secure... More

This is a suspicious review. First, we never offered paypal as a form of payment as we do not have a paypal account (we are not in the USA). Second, why would you write a review if you never even stayed with us? Third, we have never had a single issue with credit card payments in the past, and we... More

Hotel is oceanfront. It is of very good quality hotel. Every comfort has been thought of in the room. The bathroom is modern and clean, the beds are comfortable, for a good night sleep. The decor is modern but rustic. It was very quiet, away from the backpacker crowd. Very good value for a oceanfront hotel. The only negative is... More

What a great trip. We went with a group of physicians (11 total) for a CME conference but wanted to be somewhere we could appreciate local culture that also could cater to varied levels of surfers in our group. This was the perfect spot! Kenny picked us up at the airport our first night and dropped us off at a... More

We stayed at this hotel while on business in Santa Catalina. Rooms are nice design and clean, bathroom and shower clean with lots of hot water. Hotel is on the beach at top surf break, common areas are well maintained, fresh coffee and breakfast in the am. Top notch place. More
