    Very nice hostel with beautiful garden and animals to watch in close distance. It is family owned and therefore really nice to talk to the owner. He makes you feel very welcome. He is preparing to serve some breakfast and open a small and cozy bar...

    The location of the hostel is amazing, it is right in the jungle. The staff was very welcoming and liked showing us the animals which live at the property such as a baby anteater, Toucans, Parrots, Halloween crabs and leaf-cuter ants.

    Great garden, feels like living in the jungle while being centrally located. Great value for money. Owner and staff are super nice, accommodating and friendly.

    Simple rooms, but a lovely place in total. You can see and hear a lot of animals there. Lovely staff. For the price everything you need in good shape. Would stay again :)

    Garsh, I LOVED it all! When I travel, I like to travel slow and find a place that feels like home. And boy, did La Palapa Nature Hut Hostel do exactly that. Jackie, the owner, is so kind. I really felt like she had my back. Everyone working there...

    I loved my stay here. The garden is awesome, animals come by a visit. I saw sloths, monkeys and macaws here. The lovely gentleman will point them out to you if you are interested.

    Such a unique place to stay. When we arrived we were shown to our room and then also shown the parrots and the sloth in the tree 3 feet from the door. This place had so much great wildlife and the staff would help point things out day and night...
