    That was my third time here at this hostel. I could not say any bad. Its a great place, with a nice staff and a very good vibe :) I definitely recommend this place. The breakfast is also very delicious.

    There's not too much to do in this area, although there may be some things we simply didn't learn about.

    This was a cute hostal with different types of people, mainly Europeans, passing through - but with Latin Americans serving as staff. This is very close to the beach where you can buy fresh fish being brought in from boats and cook it at the hostal. Breakfasts were quite good. The beach is good for long walks, and you can rinse the sand off and jump in the pool when you get back.

    The only negative thing that I could find was my room had a window which I left opened all night, and in the early morning you could hear the dogs and the roosters

    they offer you a nice secure, parking, and a secure place to stay at night. The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable about the area. They offered a very nice breakfast and local food was within walking distances and so is the beach.

    That was the secound time I stayed at this hostel, and it was as nice as it was last year :) One of the best hostel I have ever stayed. The staff is very kind and helpful, beds are comfortable, kitchen is big, there is a nice social area, the beach is close, and there is hot water at the shower :) This hostel has a good vibes :) Very good place!

    The complaint is the stairs to the room, which are very high and spiral and difficult to climb. there is no locking option on the balcony door. At night there is no one at the reception, so it was very loud until 03 in the morning, but it is a hostel, so such things are expected..

    The hostel is in a good location, the staff is very friendly and nice (specially the guy on the reception, and girl from South Africa) The breakfast is very tasty. We stayed in a private room with a bathroom, it is very tidy and has a private terrace.

    The spiral staircase going up to the room is not built for tall people 🙈

    Quiet, clean, super close to the beach, market, and restaurants! Our room had a view of the ocean and it was a perfect place to watch the sunset. Breakfast in the morning was simple and delicious. Staff all very friendly and approachable. Oh and the bed was SO comfortable, I was very impressed.

    The used bed linens on the beside me were not changed the day the guest left. Shower water could be a little warmer. The sink temperature was a little warmer than the shower. I had brought the remainder of a delicious pizza which I had for dinner from Mia Playa - check their reviews - back to the hostel and planned to eat it 2 days later (on a Wednesday). I was unaware that the refrigerator is cleaned each Wednesday, so when I searched for it, it was gone. I must admit that I did not sign and date the box containing the pizza, (pens are not found in the kitchen), so it might be my carelessness which caused the pizza to be removed. Fortunately, my bottle of beer was still in the refrigerator, so at least I could drown my disappointment with a Modello Negra.

    The hostel is very large and comfortable. The owner and staff are very helpful, pleasant, and friendly. The assortment of very well-behaved animals - several dogs and 2 cats - add to the great experience I had as a guest. The dorm room was large with a private bath and great air conditioning. As almost everyone has commented, the free breakfasts are delicious and large - significantly better than any other free breakfasts I have received - thus far - during my travels in Panama. Great location - less than 1/ 2 block to the beach and several very good restaurants.The mini-market is just across the street which also is a bus pickup and drop off stop. Highly recommended hostel!
