“A round of cards in Adventure 360º Hostel's lounge around 9pm pulled in two Brazilians, a German couple and a solo traveller from Chile within twenty minutes, and by the second game someone had already mapped out a shared trip to Parque El Arenal for the following sunny, warm morning.”
Adventure 360º Hostel pairs a fitness centre, sun terrace and lounge with a tour desk, on-site restaurant and buffet breakfast. With 306 reviews, the largest guest base of any hostel in the city, it sits under a kilometre from Parque El Arenal.
Check the lounge after dinner at Adventure 360º Hostel, that's when board games actually pick up momentum.
Bring your own deck of cards as backup, hostel game collections here rotate and sometimes run short a piece.
Pair a board game night with the on-site restaurant, eating together first makes the game easier to join.
Don't expect board games at the smaller Santa Cruz hostels, this is genuinely a one-property scene in this city.
Ask the front desk if a group is already playing before assuming the lounge is empty, it fills up fast most nights.
