It's done very nicely and the environment feels welcoming. Very short walk from the Tracopa bus station. The kitchen is well-equipped and tidy. The hostel was like a treat after a long trip from Panama. I also had a dorm for myself for that night so I rested a lot. Thank you!

The atmosphere of the accommodation. Beautiful tropical property. This is an excellent place for those who are independent travelers, not so much for those needing to be pampered. I thought it was a great place to stay. Stayed 15 nights.
