Very bad, they should shut down to refurbish it.

This establishment should not be able to operate. The condition of the place is very bad: there was no water, the toilet is broken, the shower wires were exposed, there was a whole in the wall next to the bed and all of this happens at the best room they have available, normally at 40 USD per night. This place has not been properly maintained in years. I left the place as soon as I could.
Hole in the wall
Broken toilet and water pump wasting lots of water
Broken shower, no hot water

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!

Great hostel for a few nights

The hostel was in a great location, very close to local restaurants and supermarket. The room was spacious and the bathroom was basic but ok. The view from the balcony was great. There is a kitchen which was clean and had everything you need. It was very hot but even without air con it was ok. The area is great and very easy to get to the national park as bus stops right outside. The guys on reception were really good and gave lots of advice on how to get around and what to go see.

This place was super tight, a gal pal and I just stayed for one night. The joint serves it purpose, its a roof to sleep under with an absolutely fair bed, while your exploring one of the intriguing corners of Costa Rica. Breakfast was great and quite a thrift. there was a cool cat. Bus stop for the national park is literally right in front of the place.

good value, great homebase for the NP :)

Stayed for two nights. It is conveniently located right next to a supermarket and a great, reasonably priced burrito & burger place. A short bus ride (every 15min) brings you to the beach and NP entrance. The hostel can get noisy at night but overall it was ok. Comfy beds, fan, fully equiped kitchen, enough (hot!) showers - all you need.

Casita hermosa

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

Séjour décevant

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.
