The Carlos "Einstein" Hostel offers much more than just a room to stay and sleep.The special features that can be found in this backpacker's paradise include:
The
Titanic Bar: serving beers, shots, cocktails and mixed drinks,
sodas, and mezcal.- Cafe Carlos: serving great food and drinks at great prices all day long. Seafood, pasta, vegetarian, and Mexican specialties served to order.
- Concert Stage: free international music travels through the hostel many nights a week, in addition to nightly drum and fire dancing shows. There is also a chance for anyone who wants to perform to join in the hostel's open mic, with free percussion instruments for use, and a fully equipped sound system.
- Hammocks: when you need an escape from the heat, you can hang out in the shade and read a book or take a nap in the hammocks, with the soothing rolling of the oceanwaves as your background music.
- Boat Tours: The amiable marine biologist, Luis, organizes inexpensive tours at the hostel to snorkel with manta rays, dolphins, whales, turtles, and exotic fish all around the coast of the nearby beaches, with expert explanations of the sea life and their habitats.
Outdoor
Kitchen: Cook up your own food with free 24-hour use of the additional
outdoor kitchen and the hostel's cooking utensils.- Binoculars for whale watching: while eating breakfast at the hostel or relaxing at the tables during the day, you can often see whales surfacing close the hostel, and can use Carlos's collection of binoculars to get an up-close look at these wise guardians of the ocean.
- Natural healing: if you are feeling low, or traveling has left you with a body full of aches and pains, ask Carlos for a free relaxing and revitalizing massage.
