caféAvenida 20 NorteWi‑FiWork 100
Despite its fame among digital nomads, it is quite big, so you will always find a table to sit down and work. The main drawback is that it closes very early in the afternoon; at 6 pm you have to go to the beach.
A pesar de su fama entre los nómadas digitales, es bastante grande por lo que siempre vas a encontrar una mesa para sentarte a trabajar. El principal inconveniente es que cierra muy pronto por la tarde, a las 18h te tienes que ir a la playa.

caféCalle 68-A NorteWork 100
Bar deportivo con simuladores de golf bajo techo, cocina y bebidas
They have plenty of hot desks, a meeting room, and 2 booths where you can make private calls, or teach online. ... This is where I work at least a day or two a week

caféCalle 2 Norte, CentroWi‑FiWork 100
The shop is located at ground level of The Fives Hotel Downtown so not only is the wifi fast, but once you’ve finished working, you can also head upstairs to the pool bar for a cocktail

It's not bad, but it's not my favourite option. You can work well, but it lacks the charm, the calm and the atmosphere of the other suggestions.
No está mal, pero no es mi opción favorita. Se trabaja bien, pero le falta el encanto, la tranquilidad y el ambiente de las otras propuestas.

It does have it’s good points, fast WiFi and a nice view being two of them. Downsides are I haven’t found any outlets yet and it is really expensive compared to other beach clubs… plus when you are on your own and not drinking the staff will practically ignore you.
