This hostel is magic for the soul. The staff are all happy and helpful. The restaurant has amazing food. They have live music some days. And it attracts a great mix of travellers both young and older. Stay a while and make new friendships. Aruna the owner is a very special woman who does her best to help with all your needs I highly recommend it.

After 6 days at Octopus Garden, I did not ever want to leave, but with a sweet wife, two sons and four grandkids under 6 years of age at home, I realized that it was time after a full month in Mexico. The room, while basic, was spotlessly clean, the bed comfortable, and unfailingly quiet. The young volunteers from Europe, South Ameria and other parts were exceptionally well-mannered and friendly and hard working. The kitchen produced terrific salads and meals; a wood fired pizza oven turned out great pies. Coffee drinks made to order, a gallery of native art and crafts. Good restaurants, a fine marina, pickleball courts and good swimming beaches nearby, and with easy access to PV by bus, La Cruz has it all. Yoga classes, Tai Chi, dancing, goodbye parties, and an eclectic mix of quiet dogs and cats rounded out a beautiful human experience. Aruna, the proprietress, is a study in calmness, confidence, and skill in hosting guests at the Octopus Garden! I will be back next year for sure!

Lovely greeting from owner upon arrival but hardly saw her again.Nice fresh air (though no glass in large bedroom window;big lovely sounding fountain, wonderful scented towels, not many bugs, large common area, fully equipped kitchen, though microwave was filthy . DO NOT EAT IN THE RESTAURANT, in the hostel. Way WAY overpriced (we would never pay this price in Canada, for the worst lasagna I’ve eaten in my life); spinach salad didn’t have much on it, tasted good, but was also way way overpriced for what it was. owner hostel highly recommended this restaurant! No mirror in bedroom; no walls in so called private bedroom, it was like office cubicles with partial walls and no ceiling. You could hear every conversation outside of the bedroom and in the kitchen. confusion of quiet times as three different times were posted and not fixed after two requests. Zero night staff. You are on your own. BLARING TV from owner’s apartment, right above the rooms, even after apology from owner and repeated the next night. TV on very late into the night. Owner has lived there for decades and didn’t even know this!Nuisance dogs in restaurant. Really stinky docile dog outside of bedrooms.

Great hostel close to bus stop and just six blocks to Marina and town square. Well organized with each room having a shelf space in kitchen. Entire place is open and spacious. Private and Shared rooms. My private room was double bed with AC and a fan. Never needed the AC. Ability to do wash and hang clothes if needed. Quiet and safe. Great pizzeria in garden area for evening meal. Beer, wine and limited spirits available. Fantastic gift shop that should be visited even if not staying here. Definitely will come again if in town.
