Best staff ever.

Best experience in Panama. The staff was awesome, breakfast perfection, only 1 min from the beach and few seconds from general store. For sure I will go back to stay in this place and this is grace of Rosa, Elias and Julian. They made my stay absolutely perfect.

Great place if you're looking for a beach stay

We stayed here for a night en route from Panama City to Boquete, but could have stayed longer! The staff (especially Josh) were so welcoming and helpful - including letting us park our car inside the compounds. The rooms were great and well priced, and there was a pool and function room if you weren't interested in going to the beach (or it's raining). There's a convenience store across the street which is very convenient (see what I did there?) and the kitchen is well equipped. The included breakfast is perfect too! Can't really fault the place :)

Fantastic

Peaceful and relaxing laid back vibes galore with excellent pool and breakfast.
Best breakfast in Panama with eggs, meat, toast, fruit and even French roast coffee.
Its a large private property steps from the beach, as well as 3 decent beach restaurants, with a few more just down the road along with a fish market.
A mini market is across the street but doesn't have much fresh food.
The staff is multi lingual and one of the breakfast cooks is French so she cooks very well.
The pool is always warm and nice. Large covered area for yoga and ping-pong.
The bed was comfortable with excellent ac and a powerful ceiling fan.
I didn't want to leave.

Unique place to relax

Stayed for 3 nights. Sebastián and Pamela who run the place are very passionate about what they are doing. Also the volunteers were unbelievably helpful.
The bar is right downstairs, you'll get a lot for your money. The food and the drinks are very tasty.
If you want to prepare your own food, the kitchen has everything you need for cooking. The supermarket is just 20 meters.
The included breakfast was just awesome! Freshly cut fruits, pancakes and an Omelette. Still missing it now!
Don't be afraid of the well cared dogs and cats who are so cute, but wanna be friends with you immediately.
If you come by long-distance bus, be sure to get out at Farallón on the Pan-American highway. (NOT Playa Blanca).
Hope to be there again. :)

Hostel perfection

You know when you travel, and you find a gem of a place to sleep and hang out, maybe once in ten places, then boom, perfection hits...
The corner hostel in Farralon is that place.
Fact.
Hard to know where to start really, it’s all positive!
Maybe the included breakfast of coffee, juice, toast, omelette, fruit bowl and pancake?
How about home made burgers and cocktails in the coolest up cycled bar in Panama?
Or the hosts Pamela and Seb, delightful couple who ooze enthusiasm, South American travelling nomads who know exactly what the backpack community desires, and deliver in abundance?
The warmth of the hosts and volunteers?
The pool maybe, basking in sunshine all day?
The ridiculously short distance to the beach?
The immaculate rooms, kitchen and bathrooms?
Many reasons to stay, no reasons not to
I came for a day, booked a week, and it could be longer
This place was built with passion, thought, creativity, love, sweat, tears and beers, a rare find.
Go!
You will love it
