Property information

PLEASE NOTE , YOUR RESERVATION IS VALID , SO SOON THE PAYMENT IS DONE About Hostel Wunderbar – Welcome to a different pace of life. Our wonderful hotel is our livelihood and our home and we consider ourselves very lucky to be able to share our beautiful surroundings with our guests. The Rio Pina winds its way through our property on its way to the sea and the palm trees and vegetation along the banks are teaming with wildlife including monkeys, frogs, geckos, butterflies, fruit bats and tropical birds. We are also only 200 meters from the sea where you can catch a water taxi and explore one of the twelve beautiful Caribbean islands close by.

Neighbourhood information

Our beautiful family run hotel is situated within Portobelo National Park on the edge of the sleepy fishing village of Puerto Lindo and is a nature lover’s paradise. It is the perfect location to explore the abundant wildlife within the Panama jungle, get up close and personal with the aquatic life around the coral reefs and mangroves, walk along the white sandy beaches of the deserted Caribbean islands or simply chill out and relax in one of our hammocks with a great book. We are dedicated to maintaining a harmonious balance with our environment and local wildlife and are committed to developing our property in a responsible manner. Our focus is on working with the local community to incorporate a touch of luxury in an eco-friendly manner. See our Making a Difference page for more information.
