Travel Purpose: business

Positive: The place is wonderful. It's located just a few meters from the ocean, and up some stairs, there's a small, uncrowded beach. The room exceeded our expectations; it's spacious, comfortable, and very cool. Staying in Santa Catalina has the great advantage of being free of vehicles and noise, but you can easily go to Providencia, where there are markets, ATMs, restaurants, and car rentals to explore other beaches. Kenia was a great host and is a very knowledgeable person. Manfred is quite fun and friendly. They were kind enough to prepare some food for us: I recommend the Shell Sea fish and Chase's lobster. If you want the Creole experience, this is the place to go. We learned about fishing, religion, gastronomy, and other local customs. We will definitely stay there again.

Summary: very nice and quiet place

Positive: Kenya is an incredible host and her place is a gem! The flat was spacious, incredibly clean and lovingly decorated. It had a large wardrobe, a tv, air conditioning, kitchen equipment and a big kitchen, a dining table, a small balcony with chairs and a little table outside, as well as a hammock where you can relax and see the ocean from. The flat is located in Santa Catalina, the small island crossing the bridge from providence. It’s a peaceful paradise, with no cars or motorbikes allowed. There’s a beach about 5min walking and free kayaks for you to roam and explore. But beyond all of the objectively amazing things about her place, Kenya and her son Chase were so welcoming, it felt like we were visiting old friends more than staying in an airbnb. They had us over for the most delicious dinner, Chase took us out snorkelling on his boat where he also caught the fish we then ate. We had some truly magical times, can’t wait to be back! Thanks Chase and Kenya and sorry it took us ages to write a review!!

Positive: Excellent location (no car or motorbike on Catalina), very calm. The room was super clean (and cleaned every day). The kitchenware includes everything necessary. The bed was comfy. Most of all the host Kenia and her family were absolutely marvellous. We took almost all our dinners (the restaurant is still a work in progress but in the meantime she dresses tables on the patio) there as we found out that there was no better cook on the island.. she was also a mine of informations and she made sure to meet our expectations and demands at the best of her capacities.

Negative: The only issue we had was the absence of soundproofing between the rooms (and on top of being extra sensitive to noise we were unlucky with the neighbours during our stay)

Summary: A real family stay in an enchanted place

Positive: We had an absolute pleasure on our stay at Shell Sea B&B (hosted by Kenia and Manfred) in Providencia and it was an experience I’ll never forget. From the moment we arrived, Kenia made us feel at home with her warm, welcoming spirit. Her hospitality is truly unmatched. The room was very clean, cozy with a beautifully view over the see and island hills. Kenia’s home-cooked meals were some of the best we had on the island - we higly recommend it. Their kindness and hospitality will leave a lasting impression and you’ll truly feel like you’ve gained some friends on the island. Thank you, Kenia & Manfred for making our visit unforgettable!

Summary: Best place to stay in Providencia

Travel Purpose: leisure

Positive: Kenya and Manfred have a lovely place along the pedestrian-only seafront path on Santa Catalina island. It's a short walk from the bridge that connects the island to Providencia's main town, but with advanced notice, the owners will come pick you up in their boat so you don't have to carry your suitcases or backpacks. Their place was fantastic- our unit had a kitchen and balcony facing the sea. We had a view of the water and the island Providencia over the swaying palm trees. The A/C and fan kept us cool. I'll be back.

Negative: Everything was great, so I can't think of much to say. If anything, the mattress was too firm for my taste, but that's about it.

Summary: Seafront gem on quiet pedestrian island
