Rockin J's Hammock Hotel

In Puerto Viejo de Talamanca, which is on the far southeast coast of Costa Rica (Caribbean side), there is a hostel called Rockin J's. Now how cool is that? Sweet name. Even sweeter, they have a Hammock Hotel. This means there is basically a big open area where they have hung hammocks and for the princely sum of $5 per night, you can sleep in one. They give you a locker to put your stuff in. They have a beach right on the caribbean. They show movies every night, rent bicycles, and the place is covered in Mosaics which were made by guests. The whole place is just so Gaudi-goes-to-Jamaica. We had an epic 2 night stay there. Here are the pix:






Yeah, rockin J is pretty cool.














Now this is what I call a swingin hotel.













Parrish, kickin it hammock style.











Parrish hauls her bike through a portage in a small riptide. Biking in the rainforest and on the beach was what you might expect: WET.
