Villa Vento Surf one of the best hostels we stayed in during our central American trip, and definitely the best in Panama City! It was very clean, the atmosphere was laid back and friendly, and the pool area was a great place to meet people and cool off (I also heard it was the only decent hostel in the city... More

The tile in the pool has been redone and re-grouted and the patio around the pool has been expanded and redecorated. Other than that the same great space as before, and some of the dorms have been rearranged to make them... More

The hostel is secure with a door bell you need to ring in order to get in. We wander around at night and never felt unsafe. We stayed in a private room and a dorm... More
