Beside being robbed and having personal items stolen from friends and my safety questioned, Manuel Antonio was clean, the food was great and fresh and the area was beautiful.

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveler

It was a great area to visit! We had some wonderful meals in the area. The people we met/spoke with were friendly and helpful. The beaches overall were clean, easily accessible. We were disappointed that it was not easy to walk between establishments

5/5 - Excellent

I know it’s a “must do” to see the national park but we weren’t impressed. Our hotel had everything the park had to offer. Maybe it was the time of year that we went? (March) but We loved the area!!! Cafe milagro and cuba libre didn’t disappoint for

4/5 - Good

Ask the locals they are all nice! Ready to help! No Uber here but taxi or bus works well...it warm and humid...and bring sun screen from home it’s very expensive over there. Maybe a water bottle with filter the. You won’t have to buy it there..
