Expedition Coiba

Staying at Expedition Coiba was amazing! We felt right at home since the moment we got there. The personal at Expedition Coiba is extremely nice, super friendly, responsive and always gave us recommendations for things to do. Diving with them was an incredible experience, and the room we stayed at was clean, comfortable and nice. I would recommend 100% to stay at Expedition Coiba in case you visit Santa Catalina. Thank you so much for making our stay so incredible!!!!

We had a great time! The room was great and we were able to sleep well in the morning - not too loud. The air conditioning worked great. We booked a snorkeling tour and were more than satisfied! You felt right at home! Thanks to the entire team! I will be happy to come back anytime. :

Value for money is good. As I said, it can get a little noisy in the morning, because of the street and the operation of the diving center. Perfect for people who want to go diving. Offer tours. Good location. Staff very friendly and helpful. We felt very comfortable.

Very pleasant stay, Paula very warm and helpful, we immediately bought a snorkeling trip from her, it was amazing😊

Very central. Clean and very nice people! 😊

Great place to be in santa catalina. There are nice hosts and the kitchen is easy bist clean. There is also a big fridge. There is just cold water and the diving tours starting around 6am, so you cant sleep very long there.

Simple and comfortable accommodation with shared kitchen available , right in the center of the village and 2 minutes walk to the beach! Very nice welcome and above all very nice snorkeling trip to Coiba offered by the host! Our guide, Richard , was very knowledgeable, attentive and friendly! We saw many fish, a manta ray, several white point sharks, and turtles. We would highly recommend this property for hosting and visiting Coiba. Thank you!

The room is right on the main road so access to everything is simple. The surf beach is at the other end of “town” about 1.5km. The beach near the accommodation is swimmable, but lots of boat traffic. All around, the hosts were incredibly helpful and accommodating to us and our four young children. Communication was excellent! We went on a snorkel tour with the company to Coiba with our 9 and 6 year old and we all loved it!

Nice (only spanish speaking) family who runs the diving center, nice volunteers who were really talkative and friendly. They also offered nice snorkeling and diving tours, eventhough the snorkel guide couldn’t really talk English. The accomodation looks a little bit different than on the pictures but was okay.

Maria and her family run the dive and snorkel shop. They’re so kind and do whatever they can to make your stay as comfortable as possible. If you’re looking for a basic place at a reasonable price to stay in the heart of Santa Catalina this is it. We stayed in a bedroom with a private bathroom. However, there is no hot water in the shower and the kitchen is a shared family style area. While staying there it was so convenient to enjoy an all day snorkel trip with their Expedition Coiba company. Richard, one of their volunteer guides, was so great to stay with my partner as she struggled to keep up. The trip was definitely a treat.

Staying in the diving center is like becoming part of a family. I felt very welcome and will come back anytime if I visit Ssnta Catalina again. The diving school is located in the center of Santa Catalina. This has the advantage to be close to everything, ocean, shop, cafes and restaurant - even the bus. Obviously this also means, that this is not a quiet privat location and you might want to follow my advice to always travel with earplugs. On the other hand, you have the chance to experience living with friendly local people, getting to know them, improving your Spanish, sharing, asking for help and tips and thereby adding so much to just a holiday. The room is clean and comfortable and you will have your own private bath. Like nearly everywhere ins Santa Catalina (and Panamá), there is no hot water - but you won't need that anyway as cold water is not what you might know from other places. Everything was great and I had a wonderful stay that I won't forget.

We booked a snorkeling tour right at the property, which was incredibly good. All the other boats were there all the time later so we had the fuzzy coves to ourselves. Seen a lot of animals

The space is perfect, right in the centre of Santa Catalina. The hosts were lovely.

best location, 2 min to the beach, really nice hosts and the best scuba diving experience you can get. it was my first dive and i've seen sharks and turtles :)

Very nice apartment right in the center. It belongs to the Coiba Expedicion diving school, so don't be confused and just enter. There was a kitchen and a common room as well as outdoor seating. In addition, cats and a dog ;) The room was very clean and tidy. It is best to pack up Oropax, as the central location allows you to participate directly in the action of the village - in the morning the bus comes directly in front of the house or the supermarket is delivered. So for a long sleep I recommend something for the ears ;) Otherwise, a very good accommodation with super nice hosts! I'd love to come back.

This team is very top! They make you feel as a family member! Strongly recommended! Don’t forget to take the tours to Coiba with them! The trip totally worth it!

Great place to stay and go to Coiba. Everything is very clean and very organized. The place to cook has everything The staff is very nice and attentive. Super recommended

Full kitchen, everything spotless and super close to the beach

It was a very relaxed and beautiful time. Very good central location, the rooms are extremely clean and due to the family, friendly atmosphere together with the employees it was an unforgettable time.

This AirBnB has everything you need for a very good price. The staff is super friendly and helpful. If you look for a place in Santa Catalina, you should stay here.

What a gem this place is! The location is central to everything in town. Right across from where the bus drops you off, the mini market and the fresh juice stand. Everything else is within walking distance as the town is very small. The room is new and very clean. The beds are comfortable and the bathroom is very nice with a large shower. Air conditioning is great and if you need to store food or cook, you can use the main kitchen next door in the house. Maria also booked our snorkel trip while we stayed there as she and Luis runs Exhibition Coiba for divers and snorkeling. The trip was epic! Luis and his crew make sure you are taken care of and have a good time. We highly recommend staying here.

Nice private room that could sleep up to four people. A double bed, one single and a bunk bed. Air-conditioning was great, bathroom was clean and functioned well. Hostess Maria was friendly and helpful. They also offer snorkeling and diving tours. I would stay again.

Very close to the beach, kindness of people responsible for Airbnb and availability of these! We had dinner at the food stall just across the street!!! We loved it👌🏻

This place (and its dive shop) are beyond amazing. Like a family away from home yet professional and respectful of the ocean. This is the place you have been looking for

The hosts were amazing. They had a great number of local tips. We took the coiba experience trip organized by Freddy which was great. We got to see turtles, sharks manta rays etc. The appartment is located in centre of village with a store next to it. The appartment is basic but very clean and convienent. Though new on Airbnb, highly recommended
