Main Road 50 Meters before Restaurant Bamboo Jam Quepos, Costa Rica, 60601 Manuel Antonio, Costa Rica – Great location - show map
After booking, all of the property’s details, including telephone and address, are provided in your booking confirmation and your account.
I resided in the studio apartment adjacent to the main hostel and found it to be outstanding. The staff was very kind and helpful. A good basic traditional Costa Rican breakfast was included in the rate. This was beneficial since the other breakfast locations are not too close. There is also a Mexican restaurant on the premises that has a wonderful ambiance and well prepared food.

Costa RicaWe stayed in the ocean view room for a night and it was so comfortable. The room is a new add-on to the rest of the hostel, so everything was in good repair. The hostel is lovely - kind of like a treehouse. The AC cooled the whole studio, everything was clean, and the staff was friendly and helpful. They had a locked closet for luggage storage, which is always helpful.

United States of AmericaLike a favorite pair of blue jeans, or your favorite pair of old comfortable boots, it's a little worn, but very adequate for most tourists. The staff are exceptional in every way and treat you like family. The janitorial staff kept it exceptionally clean. Again, it is a hostel, however you have the opportunity to meet wonderful people from all over the world. And Patricia at front desk works miracles in booking excursions. I had the Best sleep I've had in a very long time. The pool was clean, and the Bar convenient.
