    The family who run it were fantastic, made me feel really welcomed and comfortable. The garden is also beautiful, you could sit out in it all day

    Very nice hostel with beautiful garden and animals to watch in close distance. It is family owned and therefore really nice to talk to the owner. He makes you feel very welcome. He is preparing to serve some breakfast and open a small and cozy bar...

    The location of the hostel is amazing, it is right in the jungle. The staff was very welcoming and liked showing us the animals which live at the property such as a baby anteater, Toucans, Parrots, Halloween crabs and leaf-cuter ants.

    Garsh, I LOVED it all! When I travel, I like to travel slow and find a place that feels like home. And boy, did La Palapa Nature Hut Hostel do exactly that. Jackie, the owner, is so kind. I really felt like she had my back. Everyone working there...

    I loved my stay here. The garden is awesome, animals come by a visit. I saw sloths, monkeys and macaws here. The lovely gentleman will point them out to you if you are interested.

    The wildlife, the atmosphere, the staff, the room, the garden, the hot water shower, the comfy beds, the A/C, the location, everything just everything. It is like paradise. Oscar (not sure of spelling and only verbal) showed us a sloth then later...

    The best hostel I stayed during my central america trip! Staff is super nice, you see sloths, tucans and racoons just in the middle of the garden! 10/10
