"Amazing view!! Really enjoying our stay here! Staff were so nice, and our room (#9) had the best view of the beach down below!"
"Not a single thing!"
"Great location if you come for surfing as you can see the break from the terrasse. 15 min walk from dive centers. Outdoor cuisine is convenient and well protected when it rains. Room are clean and the bed is confortable."
"Be aware that nearby resort organise a party with loud music on Saturday night - until 2-3AM You may need earplugs, but the break will be more quiet the morning after..."
"The place is so beautiful and the location is perfect- close to the beach and to the surfing point. Zigor and elli and their kids (the hostess) were so nice and take care of everything. The kitchen is well maintained, and the facilities are good!"

"Everything was great, the location was perfect, our cabin had a beautiful view onto the Pacific. The mosquito net made sure we could get a good night's sleep without being bitten. We loved our stay, if we ever come back to Santa Catalina we will be staying at Rancho Estero again (but longer :-) )."

"La isla es preciosa y la comida (incluida en el precio) riquísima. Tienes que saber a dónde vas, no hay grandes comodidades, no hay electricidad durante todo el día y la comida varía poco entre pescado y pollo, aún así duermes en el paraíso, la cama es cómoda y todo está limpio. Puedes contratar con ellos el transfer desde Ciudad de Panamá. El precio incluye desayuno, comida y cena y una excursión por las islas de al rededor durante un día. Tienes opción de pagar un poco más y tener cabaña con suelo de madera y baño privado."
"It is a paradise; the fish species are just a few steps from your room"
"Es sind nur 2 Häuser auf der Insel und die meisten Tages Touristen sind auf der Rückseite in einem „eigenen“ Bereich, daher ist es wundervoll entspannend. Die Einheimischen hier sind sehr zuvorkommend und das Essen ist sehr lecker und ausreichend- vor allem das Frühstück! Auf anderen Inseln ist es oft eher Massenabfertigung beim Essen."
"Highly recommended! It took us a while to find the right boat. We almost booked a smaller boat for basically the same price but look no further, Renaissance is a beautiful well kept boat and much bigger than the average and very spacious inside. We spent a few nights on board Renaissance and I have to say I did not expect that high level of service. From the moment we stepped on board we felt like home. A wonderful family dynamic. Captain Morgan is very professional and we felt safe at all times. He took us to the most beautiful islands and incredible snorkeling spots. Petra's cooking was just extraordinary. The flavors and the presentation were spectacular. The kids were very lovely and polite and they helped us as guides on the islands since we don't speak spanish, it seems like they know all the locals which we found adorable. /Pierre"
