STOP 3 - MANUEL ANTONIO

The Stay- Selina

Selina Hostel was GREAT! Awesome common area, location, pool and price, but I HIGHLY recommend if you are a solo traveler to get a private room or stay in a same-sex dorm. I had an issue one night with random guys staying in my room. Spend more to feel safe. 


The hostel is across the street from the famous "Al Avion" restaurant/bar.

Manuel Antonio National Park

This was an incredible national park, plan on spending all day here and you could come back the next day for more exploring. 

WARNING- the howling you hear on hikes are just howling monkeys, they sound like something much larger and dangrerous.

My favorite thing was the hermit crab beach. If you sat down and waited you would start to notice the sand was moving at it is filled with thousands of hermit crabs moving around- they are harmless they don't bother you.

The Town

I wouldn't go here for the town, but more for the National Park. The only place I went outside of the hostel El Avion across the street because of the awesome sunset.
