We had a blast in Manuel Antonio. Although it's touristy, there are so many activities to choose from that you'll definitely want to make sure you have the right guidebook. We used RUM & REGGAE'S COST RICA. It covered everything we needed, including Manuel Antonio's barely existent nightlife.

The hotels in this area are great and do not intefere with the envi ... Read Full Review | Report This

You can plan a day trip of fishing, or join a party boat, and spend the day snorkling, kayaking, and enjoying the ocean. The house we stayed was up on a hill, and you had a great view of the Pacific Ocean from the infinity pool that was in the back. There was also a great view of the town at night...enjoying everything ... Read Full Review | Report This

I went to Costa Rica with my husband in Aug 04, and had the most amazing time. We flew into San Jose, but did not spend any time there. We took a puddle jumper out to Quepos, and then a taxi to Manuel Antonio, where we stayed for a week. We stayed at Villas Nicolas - http://villasnicolas.com/ -- really amazing rates, service, and views. The hotel helped us with reservations for horsebackriding, zip-line, hikes, and figuring out how to get around. Our room was amazing! we had a kitchen, and huge ... Read Full Review | Report This
