BelgiumLocation in town was great to hop on the boat for snorkeling, awesome sunset views straight from the hammocks in the garden. Property itself feels authentic in a town where gentrification is clearly up and coming, and is very well maintained by the family, who are all lovely people. Filtered water and free coffee are the cherries on the cake.

Looking for a hostel?
Budget travelers know there's 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 little more.

Everything was great, the location was downtown, but basically on the beach! The whole area was nice with plenty of hammocks to chill on and the staff was friendly and super helpful. Definitely one of our best hostels on our trip and would definitely stay again!

Good vibe, very social. Location is good - right across a fruteria and supermarket, 5 minutes to the close beach and about 20 minutes to the surfing beach. Fully equipped kitchen and lots of refrigeration space. The hostel offers shuttles and fairly cheap tours to Coiba

Top location right on the beach. If your budget allows, we recommend staying in the separate house overlooking the bay. It has the best view not only in the hostel but arguably, the whole of Santa Catalina. It also boasts air-co, two large beds and is super quiet. The guys running the place are very helpful and charming.

Overall, probably the best hostel we stayed in Panama. The position is conveniently placed right next to the beach, the facilities were super clean, and the price was unbeatable! Extra points for the stuff. We left some medicine in the fridge and Orlando somehow was able to organize a friend to go to Panama Town so we could get it before our flight - we will always be grateful for what you did thanks a lot!!!
