If one hotel's booked In Panama, others are available
If you are an avid surfer, your year is divided into two different times: the time not on the water and the 'real' time when you are on your board, riding the break. That is just the way an avid surfer looks at things, especially the ones who are drawn to the spectacular beaches in Panama.If you are smart, though, you will use the time before your next surfing vacation to arrange your accommodations instead of dreaming about riding the break. For many surfers, this is an afterthought as their first consideration is getting off their jetliner, checking their bags at the airport, grabbing their boards and heading out to ride the waves at Punta Break on Santa Catalina Island in Panama.
Avid surfers seldom seem to think further than the next wave, relying on second-hand information that indicates they will be able to get a bed or room at Rancho Estero whenever they want it. They are shocked on arrival at the Rancho when there's no room for them.There are times, though, when Rancho Estero is totally booked up – there's just no more room at this particular inn. Some people would be really depressed if this happened, but fortunately there is a nearby alternative, the Santa Catalina Hotel. The management of the Santa Catalina, like the Rancho's management, recently made a substantial investment in facility upgrades, including new room layouts, added bathrooms, Internet access, improved cuisine and more. If the Rancho is full, the Santa Catalina is a phone call away.
