Just down the road from Rocking J’s towards Playa Cocles is this inexpensive boutique hotel and hostel, part of an international chain. The property is set back from a rocky beach in the trees, with extremely Instagrammable rooms and dorms spread out between a beautiful wooden structure and a more nondescript building beside it. There’s also an outdoor pool and thatched-roof palapa that serves as the bar and restaurant, as well as a board-rental shop and tour and transportation desk. Every day features some activity to get to know your fellow travelers, such as mixology workshops, yoga, and electronic dance parties.
