The Octopus’s Garden Hostel

Book now

 

The Octopus’s Garden hostel is located in the center of La Cruz de Huanacaxtle, a typical Mexican village. It is only a few minutes walk from the Marina, the beaches, the shops and the restaurants and a short bus ride to a wider choice of amenities (banks and shopping-mall). The nice and affordable accommodation combines the easygoing features of a welcoming hostel with the basic comfort we expect from a home. The rooms and the facilities are newly renovated and the fully equipped kitchen is at the guests’ disposal.
The maximum capacity of 20 people makes it the perfect destination for those looking for a quiet retreat to enjoy this beautiful spot and the activities that the hostel has to offer.
In the garden the restaurant and bar are open through the winter season with live music. Depending on the schedule all sorts of workshops are available for guests: yoga, meditation, Tai Chi as well as concerts and dance nights. The Huichol art gallery also looks out onto the garden offering the chance to see and buy examples of the craftsmanship from these remarkable indigenous people.
The direct bus connection from Puerto Vallarta airport (PVR) takes 45 minutes to get only one block from the hostel.
The “Garden Room” situated at the ground floor is fully accessible to those who have limited mobility and provided with a ramp for wheelchairs.
