Manuel Antonio Hostel

It was so much nicer here than i first though it would be. A lot of toilets and showers , fans in the room and lockers. Just a few staircases and you were at the bus stop and the supermarket. The only thing that could have been better is somewhere to wash cloths and someplace at the hostel where you could sunbath

Me gusto la amabilidad de los propietarios, realmente fueron muy amables y dispuestos a ayudar, en general me la pase bien en la estadia en el hotel.

Points positifs : Hostal proche de l’arrêt de bus, ce qui est très pratique si vous n’êtes pas véhiculé. Personnel très gentil et accueillant. Nous avons pu voir un paresseux de la cuisine, ainsi qu’un iguane sur le bord de la piscine. Points négatifs : Hostal extrêmement bruyant (musique le soir très tard et très forte). La cuisine, la piscine et les parties communes sont sales. Il n’est pas rare que certains occupants mettent leur enceinte d’1 mètre dans la cuisine le soir et on ne s’entend même plus parler. Les gens fument dans les parties communes alors que c’est bien indiqué que c’est interdit. Dans le frigo commun, nous nous sommes fait piquer des affaires.. Il n’y a pas de wifi dans la chambre, uniquement dans les parties communes, mais c’est un détail. Voilà l’ambiance qui règne sur cet hostal.. C’est dommage car le personnel est très gentil, mais il devrait vraiment faire en sorte que les règles de vie commune soient respectées.

This apartment is located in a gated area, a 5 min walk to the beach and 5 min to the entrance of the Manuel Antonio National Park. There is a great restaurant next door called El Chante serving decently priced local food. My unit was on the 1st floor, just 4 units in total. I saw deer at night, and monkeys in the day right outside the door! The AC was very cold, and ceiling fans were strong too. The kitchen has a blender, toaster, coffee maker as well as a fridge and stove. all pots pans and kitchenware are there. no microwave needed! some essentials are provided too, like cooking oil, some coffee, salt and sugar. In the bathroom, shower soap is provided but bring your own shampoo and conditioner. 2 beach towels and 4 bath towels are provided, but bring your own wash clothes. Sliding back door opens up to a hammock on the porch, enclosed by screen so no mosquitoes get in. there is a wash sink there as well, a good place to wash and hang your wet clothes after the beach! owners are super helpful and great communication. This area is located at the bottom of the mountain, many of the other restaurants and hotels are in Central Manuel Antonio, a $5 taxi, readily available nearby. To the bus station or airport in Quepos, the blue and white bus picks up at the Manuel Antonio beach closeby, a 5 min walk or, $10 by taxi to Quepos. You will not regret booking this location!
