In over 40 years of holidays abroad this was the first time I had a room safe that was free of charge! Most rooms have only partial sea view but worth booking because south facing. Very clean single room nice shower. First class air-conditioning (again no charge). Hotel overall very clean and smart, staff excellent nothing too much trouble. However... More

Stayed there for 2 nights recently in a double room. Comfortable, just; clean, a bit smelly, dark interior, but everything worked. Breakfast was okay. Personnel was extremely friendly and helpful, turned a meeting room into a place for us to leave our bikes in an instant. Good location, near the beach, marina and restaurants and night life. This being out... More

The first thing you need to know is if you have a car or rented a car the hotel does not provide park, or rather the park that has only fit 8 cars that require a lot of maneuvering and increases the risk of dents and scratches. And you do not have any parking spots near the hotel. Nevertheless the... More

I have stayed in the Hotel Santa Caterina twice in two years. Each time I used it primarily to sleep in, which is a good thing because you would'nt want to stay there any longer than was absolutely necessary. The tiny rooms I booked which were, to be fair, cheap as chips, both had leaks in the vicinity of the... More

Stayed at this hotel for a week. On our arrival the reception staff was very helpful despite it being after midnight. We got a sea view room as booked through lowcostholidays.com from where the initial holiday experience started with quick efficient emails with no hassle experienced throughout the booking and flying experience. Our card did not work on the door... More

Hotel is located in a very good area, just across from the beach and at the quite end of the strip and is excellent value for money. The staff were very friendly and helpful and the rooms were basic and very clean. I did not eat in the hotel because Praia da Rocha is full of excellent resturants,my favourite being... More

Great location, accross the road from the beach and few minutes walk from the shops, bars and restaurants. Hotel was extremely clean, breakfast was good and the facilities were adequate. Overall very good value for money but the hotel lacked any warmth or personal touches at all. The downside...I found the beds were very uncomfortable.

This was such a great hotel and had such great staff that I hate to criticise them. But there is no denying the 2 flaws that kept it from rave review status. My daughter and I had been to Praia da Rocha previously so we knew what we wanted and the Santa Catalina seemed to tick all the boxes: location... More
