Tipi Hostel Panama

Península de Azuero


This new hostel complex in a mini jungle has three dorms with four to six beds, 10 'deluxe' doubles in a flat-roofed, nondescript building and 20 heat-seeking metal-roofed A-frame huts without windows for two or three. Showers are shared. There's a communal kitchen and a good-sized pool, though most will prefer the larger ocean just meters away.
