The best place you can choose. Everything was perfect. It has a jungle feeling to it. Plants and trees everywhere. We even had a sloth on our backyard. My dreams came true❤️😪 They have such nice cats and dogs and we will miss them so much. Especially Ruka, who came to say goodbye when we went 😪❤️ Our room was perfect, the outside kitchen was perfect and the staff is super friendly and helpfull. They even got me some fresh pipas for my birthday! My brother wrote to hostel if they can arrange something and it was so nice❤️ Thank you! We rented bikes for couple of days and enjoyed them so much! The location is great, close to town, the beaches, to Cocles, to everything! Would definitely return and would even work there! We will miss the hostel, the staff, but most of all, the dogs❤️ ¡PURA VIDA!

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.
