Id like to start by saying that this hostel is one of the finest hostels Ive ever had! The property, the proprietors, the yard, the people, the dogs, the atmosphere, the amenities, the surroundings. It truly feels more like home away from home, and justin and erwin go out of their way to make you feel at ease, at home, and part of the family, which is particularly nice if youre traveling for a while and are looking for a few days of rest, friends, friendly people, and a welcoming environment. Or if youre just looking for a few days of vacation in paradise. Or if you need a calm place to work as a digital nomad, combined with some relaxation, as I did. The hostel is basically everything you require, everything a hostel should be in oldschool style!, and not just because it is the only hostel located on the islands main strip. There are several spacious, airy spaces inside and out, including hammocks, sofas, seats, and bed. It is actually not a party hostel, but it is one where guests and customers alike can enjoy the island in all kinds of areas. Also, the dogs aisle and blanca are exceptionally protective toward all of the people who come here during their weekend trips. The island is not a pristine, ecohostel, but they also hold out to promote tourism,

This is a good place. Be aware that the two supermarkets, which had more than one living room and some items, do not provide everything and the employees don't always respond promptly. They are quite relaxed. towels can be reserved, as is the beach. The refrigerator is not too large. Be prepared to bring mosquitos! This excursion costs 10 dollars each person. Even though it was low season, there were still enough restaurants for dinner. Be prepared to book in advance and get the condo agent to contact you so they know you are coming. From Sabanitas to Laura, a bus can be arranged. We paid 55 euros on an uber from colon to Laura on our way back. On the way back, we went to Sabanitas Appropriate 1. Oh, then crossed the road bridge and board the express bus to Panama City Small 1. Oh.

We stayed at this apartment for three nights. The staff was very helpful. They provide a beautiful, spotless environment and are quite safe. There is always someone on site so you can always ask for directions or any other questions you may have. Breakfast is pancakes and toast with coffee. This is my first experience staying at a hostel and I totally recommend this hotel. Thank you to the staff for their assistance.

I heartily endorse staying here. We really enjoyed our stay. You are right next to the jungle but also within walking distance of restaurants and the beach. Our room and shared bathrooms were very clean. Justin was very nice and helpful as we had to cancel our second night due to an emergency so she didn't charge for the second night even though it was non-refundable. Very good pancakes for breakfast! The WiFi can be a bit iffy but that's the whole island.

Thanks! This place is close to the main walkway. I stayed for a week and loved it. This place is very nice, in a very quiet area. It is conveniently located in a lush jungle. The place is spotless and has a big kitchen with everything you need. Justin is a fantastic host who is always quick to help with any requirements.
