I had a really lovely time at Cliff’s Hostel. The dorms are small (just 4 beds), which made it feel much more comfortable and relaxed compared to those big 10-bed dorms. The common area is super well designed – there's a hammock, a pool table, and plenty of space to just chill. It's a great place to relax and meet other travelers. The location is also good, though honestly, everything in town is quite close, so it was easy to get around. Breakfast (DIY in a local Panamanian style), starting at 8 am. But when I said that I have to leave earlier, Alexander (the host) actually got up before 7 just so I could have breakfast. He was also incredibly supportive when we talk about my diving course, always encouraging and helpful. Even after I moved out of the hostel, I had an important university exam and needed a favor, Alexander was kind enough to help me out. A warm, welcoming place with great energy. Would definitely recommend!

Everything was perfect - warm welcome, answer to every question and help at every matter. The room was equipped up to the smallest detail with everything a traveler needs, the common area was cozy, clean and very useful, excellent laundry services and the amazing morning coffee was the icing on the cake. Excellent and quiet location a short walk from the center. warmly recommended! Especially for mature travelers who are looking for a quiet and quality place, away from the noise and bustle.

El Jaguar was the first hostel where I have arrived by boat; there are hammocks and loungers near the jetty where you can sit and look out over the lagoon. There's a well organised kitchen with huge fridge freezers and the staff are friendly and helpful.

Amazing deck, can swim directly from hostel, nice tunes and food. Welcome drink on arrival. Activities organised. Off the centre of town but not a bad thing as there’s currently construction in town.

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.

Enrique is an excellent host, so friendly, helpful and knowledgeable about the area. He even took our children out on a fishing trip. We were upgraded to the larger room with it’s own kitchen. The hostel is in a great location, and has a dock right in front. There is a mini market right next door, and some lovely restaurants nearby.
