Owner was super friendly and helped us with our questions. Location on the ocean was beautiful. Hammocks very chill. Kitchen was basic but had all the necessities. We were upgraded for better room for free. Enjoyed our stay.

Martha was my mama in Bocas. She’s incredibly helpful and lovely. I extended my stay with her twice. Hostal on the sea is a great place- on the water, super close to town, clean and really close to shops/bakery/bars. One of my fave hostels. Gracias por todo Martha. Hasta luego xx

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is 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 bit more.

    Great location and if you like to party it is the perfect spot to meet new people. Also, everyday new activities and you should make sure to be at the Filthy Friday party (everyone around is coming and the whole hostel is packed!).

    The location is perfect, just one min away from Bocas town. The hostel got a lot of potential, keep in mind is a party hostel so it's very loud, but if you are looking to meet new people this is the right place.
