Lodges in Distrito Mariato

"This hotel is conveniently located by the best beach area of Santa Catalina, is clean and well kept, however the included breakfast needs improvement "

"You definitely do not want to do a garden view room as you're just looking at a tennis court and a basketball court that have been somewhat abandoned. There are a few amenities in the room, no refrigerator, hair dryer or coffee maker. For hotels at this price, those are some of the things I believe should be included."

"Fantastic place!! Beautiful views, excellent facilities, super-friendly staff, and loved the pool. Only regret is that we could not stay longer. But already planning to return next year. "

"The location is amazing and the restaurant and bar were good. Rooms need a little updating"

"If your goal is to immerse yourself in beachside relaxation, this might be the best spot on Panama’s Pacific coast! It is a rare find in Torio, a spot that’s becoming the next hot destination for Americans and other travelers. For one thing, this home is 30 steps from the beach. For another, the beach here is safe, calm, and sandy. Pretty much all the surrounding resorts require a long, hot hike down to the beach (and then back up). We spent every day of our 3-week stay swimming, boogie boarding, or snorkeling (best done on calm water mornings). The property also has a pool and a platform with two hammocks up in the canopy. The jungle is another thing that sets this place apart. The owners haven’t manicured the jungle. We saw monkeys, coatis, agoutis, iguanas, and loads of birds. In fact, one couple staying here never went to the beach at all. They bird watched for three days. Another couple chartered a fishing excursion and came back with enough fresh yellowfin to feed everyone several times over. In town, there are several wonderful restaurants. We also booked 90 minute massages our last day. Everything is very reasonably priced. You’d spend twice as much on food and lodging in the U.S. If you’re someone who loves nightlife and shopping, get that out of your system in Panama City; then rent an SUV (a must) and come here to completely unwind and enjoy paradise! (P.S. Best hosts ever, and they speak English, Spanish, and French.)"

"My husband and I just stayed here.Lynne and Michael are wonderful hosts, very helpful and always concerned if we needed anything.The house and property are beautiful and clean. The beach is private. Great place to stay. We highly recommend!!"

"The view from the balcony was spectacular. Very good location and easy to find. Patricia and Bob were spectacular hosts and made us feel like old friends.We were offered use of the pool, but didn't use it, but it was large, clean and again, an amazing view.The casita was exactly as described, very cozy, clean and a comfortable.I recommend making the short drive and 15 minute hike to the waterfall!"

"We stayed 3 nights. We loved the location, staff, and the whale watching nearby."
