I don't write many reviews; I generally only write one when I am incredibly happy with an experience. Honestly, I must say that you'd be doing yourself a disservice if you went to the Santa Catalina area and did not stay at the Hibiscus Garden. From March 7-11, my fiance and I stayed at the Hibiscus Garden. After spending the... More

It was a jarring experience , the barn with the corrugated sheet ceiling, no wardrobe, no table. Arroud a "cottage"gluey loam . The pleace has potential , but need the money and work. In this moment is good for a poor students .

We just returned home...and it appears that, we left pieces of our hearts in Lagartero. (I'm stealing someone's quote from a past review)..It's true, though.....Hibiscus Garden was magically unforgettable The landscape and setting was lovely. The property allows for much open space to roam with beautiful views...My husband and I took long romantic walks on the sand flats at night...There... More

Beware of hidden charges and high prices. They charge a 10% fee to charge food items to your room - no charge if you pay after every meal. Beer is expensive at over $2 when its $.75 in the store. Jam was $1.50 for a shotglass!! A very nice place but the prices disappointed us.

I stayed at the Hibiscus Garden for 2 weeks and it was one of the best holidays I have ever had! Hibiscus Graden is a trully magical place. The hotel offers it all - it´s great for taking it easy - chilling out on the long strip of the beach right in front of the hotel, relaxing in one of... More

We really enjoy our time in Hibiscus Garden. Staff are very friendly and always ready to help. They lets us do a fire on the beach, do wakeboard, horseback riding, bring us to lovely little village across the river by some fresh fish. (thanks to Stephi, Fred, Randy and Martina). One of the best room you can have for the... More

The location directly at the beach is definitively the strongest argument on the "plus"-side. But, if you don't have your own car, you will have to take the bus (three times daily) to get to Hibiscus, walk one kilometer, part of the way through an area with bulls (not for the easily-frightened among you). The biggest drawback: you depend on... More

I stayed at Hibiscus Garden together with my husband for five days (four nights) as we were planning to visit Coiba. The distance to Santa Catalina wasn't a problem for us, first because we did want to be in a quiet place and second because the hostel was offering shuttle service when we needed it. The accommodation was comfortable, with... More

It's a long way by bus, but at the end paradise is waiting. Very relaxing. Meetingplace for interesting people from all over the world. Managers; Randy and Martina give you the best advice for trips in Panama or neighbour country's. Very clean room, always warm water, internet, good food and drinks and cheap prices. I loved my stay there and... More
