I was there around the same time. Seems a lot more developed and touristy from this video. I'm going back in 2 months. Hoping it hasn't changed too much.
Very good video. In our younger years my husband and I would spend a month in Manuel Antonio every year. Our first year, before a hurricane blow it down, we had cabannas on the beach, which is now Hotel Manuel Antonio. The waves would lap at our feet. We paid $11.00 per night Canadian. This of course is before it became a tourist site. Many, many happy memories.
I did that ATV tour. Riding through the town and going up the mountains was amazing. They could have done better with the food. We stayed at Makanda by the sea, it’s was a real nice hotel.
I am not sure if you talked about prices at any point but this is only doable for probably several thousand dollars USD, it is still possible to travel Costa Rica under $1000 USD or even under $600 USD a month (not including airfare) but it will not look like this. Good video :)
Traveling there in 2 days, thank you so much for your video!!! I’m coming from the US do you find that they only accept the Colon? Or dollars as well? Just wondering.
so you missed talking about the 2 beaches that are inside of the Park and seems like you also missed visiting Biesanz beach(a hidden gem). Hope you can come back soon to visit those beaches and there's also another beach you can visit inside of the park which very few people get to visit, but you will need a Park guide permission to go there(just ask them, most likely they'll go there with you because only locals go there)
I visited the town of quepos and went to boutiques in Manuel Antonio by the beach. I also would spend a lot of time at the beach just exploring and seeing sloths and raccoons on the beach was normal!
My fiancé and I will be going in about 2 weeks! I’m on the fence about renting a car. We’re staying for 5 days and planning to stay in the Quepos/Manuel Antonio area. Would you recommend renting a car? We’re staying at the Falls Resort at Manuel Antonio.
Falls resort is located about a half mile from the hotel Costa verde where I stayed and we didn’t bother renting a car. The bus is a great way to get around or walking because there are several great restaurants and shops in that area. Also, all the tours I did included a ride to and from!
all the animals make me so excited. i’m going to quepos next month and im soooo excited
i would go again too. thanks for the vid !!!
I was there in December 2007. Wow, a lot has changed since I was there in Quepos & Manuel Antonio!! Thanks for sharing.....

Both are widely accepted. Enjoy your trip!!

where did you fly into, i’m only seeing flight into SJO and not quepos
Yes you will have to drive from the SJO airport to Quepos
Hey! Could you share which company you went to for the ATV tour you did? I can’t find it anywhere!! I’d really appreciate it
Can you please share link to book this hotel. Also, are you bale to use dollars and debit card without needing colones.
Thank you in advance!
Oh wow, I would like to ride the banana with my entire family!
What did u do the other days when u weren’t engaged in excursions?
I visited the town of quepos and went to boutiques in Manuel Antonio by the beach. I also would spend a lot of time at the beach just exploring and seeing sloths and raccoons on the beach was normal!
Do you recommend staying in Quepos or Manuel Antonio?/Do you know which one is cheaper?
I would say Manuel Antonio is cheaper but prices may have changed since then.
Did you take a bus from the San Jose airport? I'm trying to figure out how I will get to Quepos when I visit next month.
I was with a large group so we took a bus, the tours we took came with transport and we took the local bus around town
The bus was more like a white van* from airport
can you cover matapalo

Hotel Costa Verde- the airplane hotel but they have other rooms

River rafting and crocs? No bueno
Different rivers, different coast , enjoy wildlife diversity
Did you by chance see my wallet and passport. Anywhere?
