Spanish by the Sea - Bocas

Good location, very relaxing hostel and good price. The pancakes in the morning were delicious. We were allowed to check in really early following an overnight bus which was greatly appreciated!

It was very cute and welcoming. I immediately felt at home away from home upon arrival. The property had everything we needed, and we stayed in a room with AC which was very much appreciated. The staff were all very kind, friendly, and helpful. The location was perfect, within walking distance of everything. Also the pancakes breakfast + coffee in the morning was a nice touch! Would highly recommend and would absolutely stay here again.

Location and shared area

I think with air conditioner would be more comfortable

- Location is in a safe area, with a few supermarkets within walking range. - Kitchen was reasonably equiped. - 3 bedroom dorm is spacious with lots of shelving, small lockers for valuables and two fans. - Chill out area with table tennis, lounges and hammocks, great for socialising.

- Lack of information when the water ran out. No one could tell us when the issue is going to be resolved, even after two days. - No back up options to flush toilets when water was out, which left the toilets almost un-usable. Plus no shower. - Only staff on site were volunteers who were fairly new and didn't seem to know what to do when things went wrong. - Included breakfast was very small, just one pancake with a little bit of fruit.
