The Best Hostels in Manuel Antonio and Quepos for Backpackers
Jump to:
Manuel Antonio National Park and the nearby town of Quepos are among the most frequently visited attractions in Costa Rica. The stunning beaches and surrounding jungle full of monkeys has caught the eye of many travelers as being one of the most beautiful destinations in the country.

Despite this popularity, many accommodation options are higher in price than expected. And the places that are on the cheaper side tend to offer less in the form of amenities or standards of luxury. Thus, finding a great place to stay in the area can be challenging, as some of the nice amenities of hostels in other parts of Costa Rica somehow seem to be missing from the options around Quepos.

The places listed below receive higher ratings on a more consistent basis, but make sure you understand the type of accommodation you're looking for before you commit.
