Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Manuel Antonio?
The best areas to stay in Manuel Antonio are along the main road connecting Quepos to Manuel Antonio National Park, particularly in the hillside areas offering ocean views.

This main road, often referred to as "The Road to the Park," is the central artery of Manuel Antonio. Most of the area's hotels, restaurants, and shops are stretched along this winding, hilly route.
