I've lived in Panama City for quite some time and had some friends come in from Florida. They all enjoy surfing but have never had the chance to surf a wave like Santa Catalina offers. We decided to stay at Punta Brava and it was terrible. The food was overcooked, all of the rooms were incredibly dirty, and it was... More

If you're planning in advance, there's no reason to stay here. When we arrived, all the other beach hotels were booked, so we ended up here, but it was bad. The toilet didn't flush, the door didn't close (doorjam was destroyed) so it was totally insecure, there were roaches all over the place, it was dirty....I could go on but... More

Punta Brava Lodge is Horrible! We checked in late in the afternoon, and my girlfriend forced me to leave in the middle of the night because the bed sheets were dirty and smelled like mold and body odor, and the bathroom was filled with insects like roaches and lizards, plus the air conditioner did not work. We asked for a... More

To be fair, I think there are different rooms in different buildings. We booked our reservation online and got an automated response saying they would get in contact with us.

Overpriced. Location for surfers is great - right in front of the point. But, and it's a big but - the accomodation standard, for the price is poor. Our room wasn't clean. Under the bed had not been swept for a long time, there was chewing gum stuck on the bedside table and the bathroom was grubby. The ceiling leaked... More
