Excellent choice to live in the area, very neat a spacious (2-bedroom house). A bit far from the center so you need a car to get there, but it is surrounded by forest, so we saw iguanas, howling monkeys and scarlet aras from there.

Wide Mouth Frog Quepos, hotel in Manuel Antonio

Wide Mouth Frog Quepos features an outdoor swimming pool, garden, a shared lounge and terrace in Quepos.

The hostel had great facilities: a swimming pool of a decent size, a big dining room with an open space kitchen, and a great communal/co-working area right above the kitchen. They also have an on-site restaurant which served great food, I had a salad and it was super delicious. The hostel itself is very green and well integrated with nature which creates an amazing ambiance.

    One of the best hostels I've stayed at here in Costa Rica. Super friendly and helpful staff, the breakfast was delightful, spacious dorman and great facilities. The pool and common area are definitely a huge plus!

    The best hostel I have been to in Costa Rica! Surrounded by nature, cleaned every day and very helpful staff. I especially like the spacious dorm rooms and it was a nice temperature, even though there was no AC.

    This place is not cheap but it’s a step up in terms of hostels. Definitely more of a classy hotel. Perfect if you want some relaxed space to take a few days out of your travelling. Liked the atmosphere, pools, attention to detail with free yoga and welcome drinks. The quality of beds (2 pillows!), shower and toiletries provided.

    Nice hostel, very well located. When I got there I thought I would need to rent a scooter or something, but it’s so easy to go to the beach and to Manuel Antonio with the bus service that I ended up just using that. So, cheaper but still amazingly easy!

    The best place we stayed in Costa Rica! Huge, clean and comfortable room, squirrel monkeys and agoutis outside, wonderful helpful staff (Emmanuel). Great location very close to the (super cheap and frequent) bus down to MA beach. Couldn't recommend it more highly, we were really sad to leave.

    Stay there was a blast! I felt extremely comfortable and safe. Was supposed to stay as the only girl with 4 guys in the room, when the owners offered me a room in their family house!! Moreover, they were very helpful with the information about buses, national park and nearby attractions. Place per se is spacious and clean, with lots of fans. Kitchen is also well-equiped. Felt more like a homestay, rather than hippie hostel.
