The Best Hostels in Manuel Antonio and Quepos for Backpackers
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.

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.

This HI-affiliated hostel has been around for a long time, and receives many great reviews, as well as some mixed reviews, from guests. With large dorm rooms and lots of visitors, this is a very social hostel that has perhaps seen better days. But the location and views can't be beat, nor can the price.
Right in the middle of the town just north of the park entrance, this hostel is steps from the park entrance, the beach, supermarkets, restaurants, and bars.
Wi-Fi, free breakfast, a kitchen, lockers, TVs, and free towels are on the list of amenities.

Part of the Pura Vida family of hostels around Costa Rica, this particular location has a lot to offer, and in a great location very close to Quepos town. They claim that the prices of nearby restaurants and bars is much cheaper in Quepos than down close to the park entrance (which is true), but the down side is that guests need to hop on the frequent buses to get down to the park.
The amenities here are great: everything is clean and fairly modern. The community kitchen is full stocked, there are hot showers, lockers, laundry, linens, and more.
The staff is very helpful and can hook you up with tours and activities, including some not offered by other hostels in the area.
And the local wildlife is on display, too! Visitors can see monkeys, iguanas, sloths, toucans, and more around the building.
