Flight

SJO -> XQP

There are two main international airports in Costa Rica and you will want to make sure that you're flying to San Jose (SJO). From there, you can take a 30-45 minutes domestic flight to Quepos (XQP) which is the city where Manuel Antonio is located.

Rental Car

Shuttle or Rental Car

If you are not comfortable taking a propeller plane, we will help coordinate transportation from SJO to Manuel Antonio via shuttles (more info to come). You can also get a rental car from the airport and drive. Total travel time is between 2 1/2 - 3 hours.

Hotel

Shana By The Beach Resort

Best overall choice - Miguel and I stayed here and we saw TON of wildlife including the monkeys that came to our balcony every morning. Super friendly staff, breakfast included and an adult pool with a bar. Shana can also coordinate a shuttle from and to the airport for those that don't want to fly from San Jose.

Hotel

Mango Moon Villa

Best Value - This is where Miguel and I stayed when Miguel visited Costa Rica for the first time. We loved this little hotel where we got to see toucans, sloths and feed monkeys and it also has an incredible view. This is the most affordable option but there are only a few rooms.

Hotel

Hotel Makanda by The Sea

For those that want a more luxurious option.
