About

We have a great lounge and common areas where you can chill and enjoy your time in tonw, listen to music, read a book, enjoy the nature or just relax and enjoy a 1$ beer from our bar (Yeah Mom) after a Coiba trip.
We offer the perfect balance between a fun and a relaxed atmosphere.

The rooms are separated from the social areas for those who want an early night. We want you to feel like a traveler here, and not a tourist. You can come at any time and ask any question or inqure you have and we'll be happy to help you.
If the rooms are not ready yet, you can relax in the social areas.
Last but not least, we help you to arrange trips to Coiba and Cebaco Islands for snorkeling and diving.
If you want to have your first Surf Lesson just let we know and we'll get you in contact with the best surf instructors in tonw.

hostel is located on a good central spot, and there are enough backpackers to hang out with. however the accomodation is a bit dirty. water is often not working. and the staff kept on messing up the sleep arrangements, a friend of my had to move to different rooms while booked one stay, so that was nit really nice. they also just put a girl who just came from a bedbug invested hostel into our dorm, and when we expressed anxiety on this, they just basically told us that its our own problem :(

Volunteers were really helpful. Glad there was aircon, but they will only turn it on at 9pm and off at 9am, would be better if could have a couple more hours either side of aircon for packing when checking out and things.
