Very laid back and good value for your money. It’s part hostel and had great energy for a boring Monday night. The receptionist Nicole was amazing and very helpful.

It has an excelent location and the staff was very welcoming. We stayed at the little apartment they have, it has its own kitchen and we were able to make our own breakfast. The woom was pretty clean, besides some little roaches (inevitable in the area) the stay was pretty awesome. They let us leave our luggage while waiting for the next check-in in another hostel.

The owner was always available for assistance and there was always someone at the front desk/bar with a smile. The lounge/kitchen area with tables and hammocks overlooking the ocean and islands was such a nice place to relax.

The hostel is also a school for teaching spanish. The staff and owner were really helpful, and they organized daily tours! The dorm I stayed in was female and only 4 beds. I pretty much had the dorm all to myself the whole time. It's not a party hard hostel and it was exactly what I needed. The wifi was fast and I had lots of work done. The location is great, not far from everything we needed. The facility was good, everything was very clean!

Reliably hot showers, roof top seating, and complimentary coffee will always win me over. Private room even had a mini fridge and aircon which is quite luxurious by hostel standards.

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 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.
