Cocos Hostel Ometepe Review: My One-Night Stay
We arrived in Ometepe with absolutely nothing booked, which was basically how we were traveling through Central America at the time.

The hostel is right in the center of Moyogalpa and within walking distance of the port, which ended up being one of the best things about staying there. → Find Cocos Hostel here Location For me, the…

So this review is definitely not based on one night.

Casa Areka Hostel Review: What €10 Gets You in Panama City
I stayed at Casa Areka during my trip through Panama, when we needed somewhere affordable to stay for our first night in Panama City before continuing toward Bocas del Toro. After staying in hostels all over the world, I’ve learned that what looks great online isn’t necessarily what matters once you get there. So, is Casa Areka actually a good place to stay in Panama City?
