Each of the 3 air-conditioned rooms at this quaint, intimate property features a wardrobe, tiled floors and views of the beautiful tropical gardens, Hi Speed internet complementary.

We loved our stay at Coiba house. Darcy and his sons were really nice and Darcy gave us a lot of tips for restaurants. The view is absolutely amazing and you wake up with the sound of the waves of the sea. The rooms were big and the bed was comfortable (a little bit creaky). The common area is nice with the hammocks and shared kitchen. The bathroom and toilet were very clean and the shower was the best in our trip in Panama.

    The location was great, the staff very friendly, the restaurant at the hostel and the fact that there is also a kitchen for hostel guests, the lounge area with tables and sofas, laundry lines, lockers for personal belongings, comfortable and solid built beds with curtains. Really great hostel with a very relaxed atmosphere.

    A great hostel run by a super friendly family from Santa Catalina. The bungalow in the front with a private terace a great view and direct acces to the beach is mind blowing. The people speak fluently english. I had a problem with my car and the family did the whole conversation with the rental company for me.

    We stayed longer than planned, because we enjoyed it a lot here. The price-quality is so good, the location is perfect, the breakfast was the best we had on our whole trip, the ambiance is super chill en everything is clean. Pablo is a great host and can help you with everything. You can order super fresh arepa’s at Pablo’s restaurant and you can also cook yourself in the communal kitchen. We would really recommend to stay at Casa Pablo!

    Beautiful spot (we had a little cabin to ourselves). The breakfast here is amazing. The people are lovely. Would definitely recommend a cabin :) bonus they offer laundry which is very useful. The town in general was amazing, awesome location for diving, surfing, good seafood, and super friendly locals.
