“Settling into Adventure 360º Hostel's lounge for a movie night around 8:30pm, half the seats were already taken by travellers who'd met earlier that day at breakfast, and the film ended with a loose plan among four of us to share a taxi to Parque El Arenal the next 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.
Show up to Adventure 360º Hostel's movie night early, the lounge fills up fast once the on-site restaurant closes.
Eat at the on-site restaurant before the film starts, it's the easiest way to already know a few faces in the lounge.
Don't expect a movie night at the smaller Santa Cruz hostels, this is a one-property scene tied to Adventure 360º.
Ask the front desk what's screening that night, the lounge sometimes runs a themed pick tied to a traveller's request.
Bring a light layer even in the heat, the lounge air conditioning runs stronger during a longer evening screening.
