May 13, 2023 Jacquiline Delozier

Quepos, a small town in Puntarenas province, is located on Costa Rica’s central Pacific coast and is undoubtedly one of the best places in the world for big game sport fishing. However, Quepos also offers vacationers a wealth of other activities to do as well. The nearby plaza has many fine restaurants, art galleries and souvenir shops, most within a short walking distance of your beachfront vacation rental. Book an exhilarating canopy tour, go horseback riding, kayaking and rafting. Learn to surf or watch the surfers ride the waves; you’ll wonder at their athleticism.

Cute but Noisy

Reviewed By CloudPixie

Cons; Noisey, ear plus and sleeping pills required! We had a private room with a shared bathroom on the ground floor and had people knocking all evening as they hadn't taken their keys (not the fault of the hostel but I guess a bit of an issue with the way the rooms are set up. Pros; Great pool and Mexican Restaurant attached (his homemade sauces are incredible. Free breakfast is a real bonus. Lovely dining area with loads of books and hammocks to chill out on.

Wide Mouth Frog

Wide Mouth Frog is a popular choice for travellers located in Quepos / Manuel Antonio - Central Pacific coast of Costa Rica. You can relax by the pool or use one of our other communal areas strewn with hammocks. This is a quiet piece of tropical paradise in Quepos central. We have a kitchen a licensed restaurant and many room options ranging from shared dorms from $14 per person to private rooms from $32-$60 per night.

Possibly the best value accommodation in Quepos

Reviewed By Tutterandmagoo

Was tipped this by a friend who lives in CR. The staff, the pool, the communal area and the overall vibe were magnificent. I stayed in room 2 which was private and had a double with a single bed and a private bathroom - spotlessly clean !!! I’m a old dos at 52 and this felt more like a hotel than a hostel. Brilliant - will return here when near MA again.

Hostel Manuel Antonio by National Park

Overwhelmingly bad experience

Reviewed By 5575578

I don‘t know where to start. When we arrived, the room, our bathroom and the corridor in between stank of poo. Lo and behold, we were greeted by a floating poop in the toilet, which I am very sure has been there for a while. Turns out the water wasn‘t running (apparently due to the rainy season, however, we‘ve been in Costa Rica for 3 weeks now and spent our nights in several hostels, never encountering this problem). We would have accepted this if they warned us before our checkin and the rest of the hostel was fine. But the bunk bed seemed really unsafe and the bathroom looked super disgusting like it hasn‘t been cleaned in weeks. We wanted to leave immediately and get a refund but they talked us into staying and got us an „upgrade“. They first showed us two other rooms with exactly the same problem which we politely declined until they gave us two rooms in another part of the hostel. At that point we just accepted our fate and stayed. Bad decision. The AC smelled like mold, the bed sheets were stained and very old. We don‘ know if they were old or new stains but at this point it didn‘t matter anymore. The pool is not exclusively part of the hostel and people working there were very rude. The fridge in the common area doesn‘t work. When we wanted to shower in the morning, the water was muddy and brown. Now we were just utterly disgusted and wanted to leave immediately, even though we had booked one more night. Of course we didn‘t get a refund otherwise we wouldn‘t even have written this review and just left it at that. The next evening we were going out with our friend who still stayed at the hostel and they locked her out so we had to come back to get her to stay the night at our new place (even though they say on the webiste they have 24/7 reception, but noone was there). You can imagine it‘s great being locked out in the middle of the night as a blonde 21 year old girl in central america. The next morning it turns out the place was robbed and several people got their belongings stolen. They did not want to show them the camera footage though? So I‘m not sure the camera even works. Tl;dr: shabby, dirty, smelly, no water, rude, locked out, unsafe. Bad bad bad hostel and experience compared to all the very nice places we have visited in Costa Rica so far. Don‘t come here if you value your money, health and dignity.

Fatal

Reviewed By ikerhezkuntza

Muy caro para no tener nada, la habitacion pequeña, la ducha sin agua caliente, de la nevera que se supone que es para que dejes tu comida, esta desaparece. Y sobre todo imposible dormir. Encima un bar y en frente una especie de discoteca( en donde se supone que esta tu piscina, que es de los mismos dueños, pero no es mas que un charco sin limpiar) con el volumen a tope que parece que la fiesta esta en la habitación de al lado que dura hasta las 00:00 por lo menos. Horrible.

Best hostel in town

Reviewed By libihornik

We came for one or two night to Manuel Antonio and ended up staying for 4 nights because we liked it so much. The hostel is located at the middle of the jungle with trails you can walk and spot animals. We saw a sloth, monkeys, frogs, butterflies. There’s a beautiful pool right at the edge of jungle. Staff are super nice and helped with everything we needed. Rooms are nice and clean. Would definitely come back.

Passifloras Hostel

Reviewed By sadeeyor

Comes up as RB Rooms & Apartments on TripAdvisor, but listed on Booking.com as Passifloras Hostel. Quepos is a much more affordable base for a day trip to Man Ant, and Passifloras is a decent low-key place to pitch up at. Amiable family feel, central yet quiet backstreet location. Clean enough. Pleasant upstairs balcony to lounge.
