Set in the perfect tropical environment, Rockin' J's hammock hostel is located in the Caribbean town of Puerto Viejo, a 4-hour bus ride from San Jose. The area has a rich Afro Caribbean Rasta influence which is a must see
to anyone traveling in Costa Rica. Rocking Js gives you the opportunity to meet people from all corners of the globe!
We offer hammocks, tents, shared cabinas, private cabinas and a tree house. There is also the option of bringing your own tent keeping the cost of your stay to a minimum. A free Icey is offered at your arrival, a personnel locker to keep your valuables safe, 24-hour security, clean bathrooms and a fully stocked community kitchen. For those hangover days, the community Rancho is a great place to chill back in a hammock, drift in and out of sleep to the sound of the ocean, or you can enjoy a movie in the pimped out TV lounge with a great view of the ocean. DVDs are available to rent from the reception as well as 24-hour ice cream and drinks.

The receptionists are always happy to help and give you any information you may need. Across from the main reception is the Aventuras Bravas Tour desk to help you with logistics and making sure you make the most out of your stay.
The Hostel is never shy at getting a party going so dont be surprised if youre forced into a Toga outfit, or drinking the famous Rocking Js jungle juice at a full moon party. Crab racing has also become a hit.
@t Es is the in house kick ass restaurant. Managed by Erik who has put together a fantastic gourmet menu at reasonable prices. This is the perfect place to have a sit down meal, check your e-mail and drink stupid amounts of alcohol before stumbling into town with the random friends you just made at the bar.
