Selina Hostel Pedasí

Península de Azuero


This branch of a hostel chain with three other properties elsewhere in Panama has 10 doubles with varying degrees of comfort as well as a 10-bed dorm. There's a wonderful swimming pool and outdoor kitchen, a bar with pool table, US$1 beers at happy hour (6pm to 9pm) and laundry service (US$10). The rough-hewn wood furnishings are fun.
