Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Panama weather is predictable. Warm sunny days with afternoon cooling clouds or shower. None this time of year. Panama is more relaxed than other island get aways and safer than Mexico. Staff were great.

    Great location, beautiful surrounding atmosphere, great staff. Most friendly and helpful receptionist and staff ever, lovely and great impression of hotel. Everything about the hotel was exceptional. It was clean, stylish, and roomy with excellent service. Food was so much good than the last time we visited. I think they made a great change with the chef. The service was attentive and efficient. The room itself was well equipped and comfortable. We were very pleased with our stay. We hope to be back for a longer visit in the future.

    It was an overnight stay. I think the hostel is very basic for a night's sleep. No frills, but comfortable. Very grateful for the towel provided as I was travelling light. The hostess is very warm and caring. After a few minutes we were chatting like long lost friends. I also loved the kitty resident at the hostel. The bus stop is right outside the door. Restaurants close by. Beach very close by.

    Trixie, the host, was one of the best hostel owners I've ever come across. She made staying here extremely welcoming, and fun. It's across the street from the beach.
