Vuelvo 100%
Pros:

Tienen actividades todas las noches, y para el día tienen actividades de hiking que te buscan en el hotel y te regresan cuando se termina la actividad. En la entrada te viene incluida una cerveza al regresar para fomentar seguir hablando con los compañeros de viaje; los baños y las duchas superlimpios y tienen gel de baño, shampoo y acondicionador disponibles. Las instalaciones increíbles, ¡el río en medio es supertop! y el desayuno delicioso.

Cons:

Yo me quedé en las habitaciones tipo barriles y la ventilación sí es un poco reducida; quizás como sugerencia, llevar un abanico si sufres de calor.

Pros:

Perfect stay for Boquete. The food here is affordable and delicious. Every day or night there is an activity and a hike with the hostel. The family breakfast is a good way to meet people. Highly recommend Onda for your stay in Boquete.

Pros:

We've been living in Boquete for over a few months now and decided to stay at Onda a few days between our previous flat and our new one. My partner and I loved the cylindrical orbs in which we slept, the babbling brook next to the restrooms and relax areas, and of course we enjoyed the lush greenery and games to play

The staff is amazing, specially Melissa and Randall; the property is gorgeous (with a creek running in the middle of it!) free yoga 2x per day, and plenty of places to relax, right in the center of town.

Cons:

The ONE thing that didn't resonate well with us given your great reputation, the price, etc-----was the breakfast! Scrambled eggs, some sort of super-fried bread, and hot dog pieces in a tomato sauce. Hot dog? We've lived and traveled in many countries and continents, and for this luxury hostel---at least it would have been nice to have a fruit, dairy, granola option. Anything green? Not just eggs and hot dog pieces. And also, we’ve stayed in hostels that had a longer breakfast time, I.e. 8-10. You get there after 9, and no more brekkie!
