needed a little getaway out of Panama City and ended up in this very cute hostel for 2 nights before heading to el Valle. The owner was super kind & helpful, even picked me up at the main road so I didn’t have to walk for 20 min to the hostel. :) The hostel itself is located right at a beautiful, peaceful beach. Nice outdoor shower, clean rooms, very well equipped kitchen and was allowed to use some of the food stuff they had stored for free use in the fridge. :) Would definitely recommend!

+ El mejor alojamiento en la zona. El personal (Gaby) es super amable. Siempre escojo este lugar para quedarme, ya me siento en familia. El ambiente es espectacular, muchas actividades para hacer, clases de surf, ice bath, etc. Volvería por siempre.

An absolutely fantastic and welcoming hostel. Very clean and well-organized. The beds and rooms are spotless, as is the perfectly equipped kitchen. The staff are incredibly friendly. Several great common and chill-out areas. Great surf instructors and boards to rent. Just a 1-minute walk to the beach. You can tell the hostel is run with a lot of heart and love. It's simply perfect. Drinking water and good Wi-Fi are provided.

+ Panama Beach Lodge in El Palmar is a very nice and relaxing place to stay in a great location, just a short walk from the beach. The atmosphere is quiet and peaceful, perfect for resting and enjoying the ocean. The bed was wide and comfortable, and there is a well-equipped kitchen and a pleasant patio where you can relax. It’s also possible to rent surfboards, which is a great option if you want to enjoy the waves at El Palmar. Overall, a lovely and simple place to stay near the beach for a calm and relaxing visit.

+ Das Hostal ist sehr sauber. Die Küche gross und sehr gut ausgestattet. Das Personal sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Die Anlage hat einem gemütlichen Lodge Bereich mit Hängematten . Es ist sehr ruhig und erholsam hier. Zum Meer braucht man 2 Minuten. Jederzeit wieder.

+ Le jardin de l'hôtel .Des hamacs ,des banquettes ,des chaises , tables , des petits arbustes . Endroit très agréable....Il serait nécessaire qu'une mini épicerie avec les produits basiques à acheter sur place soit créée.20 minutes de marche pour aller au village de San Carlos.

- 2 douches dans le jardin en plein air. Un rideau ne fermant pas totalement la douche . Il faut se mettre à toucher contre le mur pour que les personnes assises dans le jardin ne nous voient pas tout nu quand on se lave .

+ Im Großen uns Ganzen hat mir alles gefallen. Es ist privat, aber nur ein paar Schritte vom Strand entfernt. Das Personal ist super nett, die Gäste kommen von weltweit. Die Unterkunft wurde innen und außen immer sauber gehalten. Die Küche war sauber und ordentlich. Es gab kleine Regeln für jeden, die dabei helfen, dass alles so schön bleibt, wie es ist. Es gibt 2 Schlafräume mit je 6 Betten und 2 private Doppelzimmer. Man kann sich Surfbretter leihen und bekommt eine gute Einweisung.

- Die beiden Doppelzimmer haben den selben Preis, beim Buchen werden Fotos des größeren (und meiner Meinung nach) schöneren und komfortableren Zimmers angezeigt. Wir waren in diesem Urlaub 2x dort und haben beide Zimmer kennengelernt.

+ Very cozy family run hostel that are putting hard work in making your stay confortable. The kitchen and garden area big bonus. It is always nice when you can cook your own meal in a clean kitchen with all tools available. The garden is a great place for hanging out, even in the middle of the day with some nice hamocks and a work -out area. The surfschool on site is also a great recommendation.

- The small restaurant on their premise is open only in the weekends and opening times were a bit erratic.

+ On my travel to Panama i saw some hostels, but this one is special: directly at the beach, super warm-hearted hosts (lieke and abdiel are amazing), good kitchen and garden, surf school belongs to the hostel with one of the best surfing coaches i have met so far. Beach is nice to swim and hang-out; games, hammock...yes! I exdended my stay some more nights!

- The (not so good, but only) supermarktes are a little bit far away (20-25min walk). But you can rent a bike for free at the hostel!
