“Shambles of a system that messed up my reservation. Place itself is basic and if cheap can be good value.”

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!
