    Description

    We are a small family-run hostel located right by the ocean in Punta Burica, Chiriquí, Panama.
    Surrounded by pure nature, you can spot different kinds of monkeys, release baby turtles, explore beautiful trails, and enjoy exotic birdwatching.
    Expect stunning sunsets and a peaceful, relaxed atmosphere.
    We are a family of three, happy to share our simple seaside life with travelers from around the world.
    When guests arrive at the hostel, sometimes a local girl from the village gives me a hand preparing the rooms, only when it’s needed.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    I’m Panamanian and my husband Joey is from Florida, USA. He have been living in Panama for over 20 years. We live in a small rural community where life is still simple and connected to nature.

    Staying with us is a great chance to experience real local life and culture. You’ll get to learn about Panama’s traditions, food, and language, and see how people live off the land. At the same time, we love learning from our volunteers , everyone brings something different to share! It’s a relaxed place where we exchange stories, ideas, and good vibes.
