Hello fellow TRAVELERS from all over the world!!!

On my travels through dozens of countries in six continents, I’ve stayed at many different hostels: some great, some not so good.  But from all my experiences I’ve compiled many great ideas to incorporate in our wonderful hostel-- ideas that turn into amenities and necessities travelers like you and I need for our comfort and pleasure to feel at home away from home. 

Simple things: like clean comfortable beds with clean fresh towels and sheets, fully stocked kitchen with spices, oil, and coffee,  nice size refrigerators, laundry service, computer with internet, Wi- Fi, book exchange, pool table, ping pong or just simple games and cards, wonderful rocking chairs and hammocks in a lovely green garden setting, surfboards, bicycles, umbrellas for the rain, recycling, restaurant menus and discounts, discounted tour bookings, surf lessons, fun people from all over the world to hang out with, and much, much more...

…not to mention an always loving and welcoming host with a smile on her face, who can make your trekking trip so much more pleasurable…

With that said, I am truly striving to make your trip and your stay as welcoming and as pleasurable as possible… it’s just a shame that our cute little hostel is NOT in one of the MOST important books: “Lonely Planet”.  If it were, more people would know about it and come to stay with us… I would appreciate your help in getting this cute place into this book this year……   

So I ask for your help in getting the word to the editors of “Lonely Planet” to assure they come and review our place this year.
