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.

    Great location in a resort-like appartment; the adjacent beach offered some of the best snorkeling in all of Panama. Staff very helpful

    Staying at this hostel was an absolute delight! The staff were  nice  and I had a comfortable stay. Not to mention, the affordability of this place compare to other hostals in town  making it perfect for budget travelers like myself. Plus, being able to rent surfboards at such a great price compare to others prices  really sealed the deal for me. I couldn't have asked for a better.  recommend!

    The perfect base to explore Playa Venao. A quiet place, five minutes walk from the beach and all restaurants. The staff are very friendly and helpful. This hostel is a lot cheaper than for example the popular Selina hostel, but just as comfortable and a lot cleaner!

    I had a terrible stay, the hostel was basically taken over by groups of partying Israelis who were playing loud music and singing into the night. I paid a ridiculous $60 for a dorm room, pure extortion because the whole village was sold out. I complained and only received a 10$ refund. Do yourself a favor and stay somewhere else, maybe Nao Venao hotel which is way cheaper and nicer

    great location directly at the beach. good food, though bit pricey. rooms are simple, but clean. bathrooms get cleaned regularly, though sometimes bit nasty. great and cheap (5$) facultative entertainment program (yoga, workout,…). great surfing location. fun party spot.

    amazing hostel in a great location. the guys at the check in were very nice and kind , and took care of everything for us. the only thing that was a little bit annoying was that they didnt clean our room and because of the rain our room was dirty with mud.
