Playa Salsa Brava, 63735 Puerto Viejo, Costa Rica – Great location - show map
This place is beautiful, great location near town and a stones throw from the beach. Pretty cheap of such an expensive town too. Helpful staff, huge lockers, decent kitchen.
New ZealandPretty cheap, let me check in at 11 pm, with their 24 front desk.
Costa RicaIt was so quirky and unique I loved wandering around and discovering new bits of artwork.
United States of AmericaI met amazing people at Rocking Js. The staff was incredibly helpful and made you feel like part of the family. I really enjoyed having my morning coffee on the “private” beach every morning and loved the art around the hostal! Thank you for making my stay amazing!
United States of AmericaRocking J’s is a very cool place with positive vibes. You feel like back in hippies:) Whole area is precisely decorated with beautiful paintings and collages. It has access to the sea, comfy siting on the beach, own bar. Personnel is extremely nice. Hostel is surrounded by a nature. We even sow a sloth nearby sea. There is kitchen and small market just in front of hostel. It’s possible to borrow a snorkel or bike by a small charge. You get a private locker for your stuffs for free :)
Czech RepublicI love the way it looks...im an artist and so I enjoyed so much...for mw is like a space ship to the art mosaic planet...incredible...
PolandI stayed 4 nights in a hammock was a great experience. If you dont mind slumming it paradise then you cant go wrong with this place.
United KingdomAn epic hostel on the beach covered from top to bottom in art. The place is huge but never too busy/crowded because people go out during the day to enjoy the area. Best of both worlds kind of place. I love sleeping in a hammock. The tents also seem very comfortable with a mattress in each one making it better than a standard bed in a dorm since you have a private space. The cabins are perfect for couples and families. I can see the ocean from this place that I'm using my laptop. There's a slackline, yoga swing, and volleyball net on the beach. There's a kid-safe swimming lagoon. Incredible fire-spinning shows. The bathrooms are cleaned all throughout the day which is nice. I love this place so much. Just walking around I feel like a rich person because the art gives a feel of being in an old-world luxury resort.
Costa RicaIt’s a world in its own, rocking j’s is an institution in PV. If you want good WiFi and shiny everything go to salinas if you want a experience you’ll never forget and so many rad people (ma and pa to name just two) it hurts go to rocking j’s
