Mara V.
We had a peaceful, authentic stay at Katamah Beachfront Guesthouse in the Yana Cottage and would definitely return. The cottage was beautiful and cozy, with a great outdoor seating area enclosed by mosquito screens so we could relax outside without worrying about insects. The property sits right by the beach and has a lovely pool. We also loved the three dogs who live there; they made the place feel even more welcoming. Staff were extremely friendly, shared great local tips, and we had many lovely conversations. There's a great little bar on the beach, and excursions such as mangrove forest tours start there. Restaurants, cafés, and supermarkets are all within walking distance. We especially recommend the famous Smurfs Café nearby, where we had an excellent breakfast. One neighboring cottage is being rebuilt after storm damage caused by Tropical Storm Melissa. We truly hope the whole property continues to recover well, because it deserves a visit.

The villa is rustic and relaxed, with vibrant flowers all around that make it feel like a little Eden. It's peaceful and private, whether you're swinging in a hammock, playing games with friends, or taking a dip in the sea. There are plenty of cozy spots to unwind, and the whole space is beautifully maintained and thoughtfully laid out for comfort. A lovely experience and one of my new favorite escapes. Can't wait to return!

I loved the peaceful, cool surroundings, the beautiful garden, and the soothing sound of the ocean. The location is convenient too, close to restaurants, minimarts, and bars, with transport easy to access. The staff were warm, helpful, and kind, especially the manager, who made sure we were comfortable and said we could call anytime if we needed anything. He or another staff member would sort it out for us. This is a perfect hidden gem and one of nature's finest. I'm definitely going back with my family, and I'll recommend clients book here. Thank you, From The Great Jojo's Travel Escape.

Katamah feels like home away from home. I've stayed here about 4-5 times and have also booked rooms for other family members. The rooms are always impeccable, and the service is top-notch. The owners are welcoming and friendly, and the staff are friendly too. I'll always stay here when I'm in this area.

We booked at short notice after our plans changed late, and as an adult family group we were accommodated in a few different rooms during our stay. We really appreciated how understanding and helpful management was. Every room was beautifully designed, clean, and tidy, and the AC worked just right. There were plenty of bathroom hooks and towels. Wi-Fi dropped out in some rooms, though maybe it depends on your device, since not everyone had connection problems. In a couple of rooms, we were surprised by how much bathroom noise carried; whether you're family or not, you might not feel entirely comfortable with that. The snacks and cold drinks selection was great. Each morning, we could hear the crashing waves and had direct access to the beach. We spent quite a bit of time exploring, but the property felt spacious and private when we were there. We barely saw other guests, so it was very peaceful. The gardens were beautifully laid out and maintained, with gorgeous hibiscus everywhere. More lighting would help along the paths and around some outdoor seating. Staff were warm, welcoming, and attentive, and the location and parking felt secure. We'd definitely return and recommend it.
