I'm a sucker for beautiful people, so of course I loved gran kahuna hostel. It's all surfers! And pretty girls! Who are very nice. Good open concept kitchen which I love because I could smoke while I cooked (gross, I know!), the upstairs rooms are real beautiful with high ceilings and very airy so it doesn't get too hot. Nice...

Gran Kahuna is located in the center of bocas, next to two boat taxis, near shops and restaurants. the rooms upstairs on the balcon offer a great view, in the morning you can see the sun getting up. The rooms are okay, you get a personal lock for your closet. the showers are okay, you have even a place to... More

I stayed at the hostel few days and I didn't like the experience, would not repeate it. First of all the staff was not helpfull at all, security sucks as anyone can enter the rooms without being stopped and cleaning.... Well, I'll just say that we saw A MOUSE walking around our room!!!!!!! It was horrible to see... Also the... More

I stayed only 2 days here, and I can say it's okay for the backpacker crowd! the rooms are comfy but not really clean, there's a recepcionist from barcelona who's very friendly, she can help you out. As someone already said, there are often groups of australian surfers that drink/talk 24/7 and they can be really audacious waking you up... More

It's in a loud location and the staff was not very nice and very disinterested in helping out. Another great surprise... they gave us a room that smelled like pee. After some investigation we realized they had... More

i loved this place. met some of the sweetest amazing people from all over the world. the place is right in town so close to everything, then again it's a small island anyways. that being said. the kitchen was small and never used it. the beds were super clean. but i lost money there and my roommate did as well....

The manager needs some anger management. I would definitely not recommend this place to anyone. Noisy, not clean and most important that manager is LOCO!

You see Gran Kahuna just when arriving by boat on Isla Colon and will recognize the colourful place without any problems. The staff there is very relaxed and the recreation room has a nice and cosy atmosphere including some hamaks and free internet. Overall this could be a very nice place BUT this place attracts some sufer guys not caring... More

If you aren't planning on hanging out in your hotel room for your entire vacation, but want a comfy place to hang out and a clean and quiet place to crash, GRAN KAHUNA is perfect. It is especially perfect for Bocas, where you are going to be out and about all day and most nights anyway. I can't wait to... More
