our location
where to find your travel family
With the public bus stop only one street away and the historical center of San José del Cabo at walking distance, Whale Tales hostel becomes your central hub to experience the best of los Cabos, without breaking the bank.
We are located in the peaceful and safe area of Rosarito, the neighbourhood right next to the historical centre of San José, known to be the home to several Choyero* families who might, or might not, be directly related to our owner Bryant. Following the smell of freshly baked bread in the afternoon, you’ll find a bakery, a gym, a pharmacy, a pastry shop and several great local restaurants only a street away. Not to forget the OXXO on the corner, in case you need a late night snack.
*Choyero:Choyero is the name for locals who were born in Baja California Sur. Only about 15% of the people in this area were born here. The word refers to the cholla cactus, a particularly prickly desert dweller with an infinite number of fine thorns that like to hitch rides on the pants of those who walk past.
