JC is a legend and really helped us out with all our trips and excursions.

The view is amazing and many happy hours were spent in the hammocks. We even saw some red toucans from the terrace. 

The national park is unbelievable.

Rooms pretty comfortable!

We ❤️ JC

not the cleanest, not the friendliest staff, kitchens often a mess, bedroom doors constantly left open by other guests, constant theft of food items, good hot water in shower, average beds, great views, you can see macaws and toucan's from balcony, dangerous road walk to town, several minutes walk to anything

average hostel

Enjoyed my stay. The facilities here are mediocre. I stayed in the 4 bed premium dorm. I was satisfied with the 4 bed dorm, it had AC, extra blanket, comfy mattress, enough room for luggage, personal locker. Bathrooms are meh, not gross but not amazing.

The best thing about this place is the vibe. People here were so friendly and welcoming, felt like a true backpacker's hostel. Most people stay here 2 days because that's all you need in Manuel Antonio. 

Juan was an awesome host, super friendly, he hung out with us and played games. It was pizza night every night, free delivery to the hostel.

Beautiful sunsets here. Met some awesome people here. Probably the best bang for your buck in Manuel Antonio.

Amazing sunsets, amazing vibes, meh facilities

Amazing Hostel, very clean, good warm showers. Best view in Manuel Antonio with sunsets and loads of wildlife in front of you.
Staff couldnt be better.
have laundry service if needed.
very helpful, came a 2nd time bc, I loved it so much. Dorms are great as well.

Amazing Hostel, with stunning view and best staff ever

If you are looking for a cheaper option to stay at in the area with a view as well, then this is the spot for you! For what we payed to stay there we were blown away by the view, location, and amenities. We wished that we could have stayed longer, but they were only available for one night.

Incredible view and value in Manuel Antonio!

Delightful breakfast/lunch spot with great food and coffee, especially the Cafe Frio! Ramiro provided excellent customer service and was always welcoming. Highly recommend this place to start your day with a good portioned sized breakfast, fresh fruits, and hot (or cold) coffee. I spent several mornings enjoying breakfast with my laptop to start my work day, outlets and wifi available.  Definitely worth the visit! Ramiro also makes a tasty Sangria!!

Soda y Cafe @ Vista Serena

Awesome little restaurant just out back, super cheap & delicious! A full breakfast of beans, rice, toast, eggs, and a plantain for only $4. The view of the ocean offers spectacular sunsets that left me excited to come back from my adventures and on the balcony at the end of the night.

Excellent views, wonderful serivce!

If Visiting Manuel Antonio I highly recommend visiting this little Soda for a $4 breakfast. The BEST Traditional Costa Rican breakfast I had in the 10 days visiting the country and definitely the most affordable. The Pinto Gallo was to die for! You will not be hungry for the rest of the day : ) The owner, Ramiro, is the sweetest guy and was a great resource for local places to visit. We wanted to adopt him! He also has a 2 for 1 Happy Hour with delicious drinks. The specialty coffee drinks were AMAZING! Please support this awesome locally owned Soda. : )

The Restaurant/Soda@ Serena Vista Hostel

First off, the Vista Serena is a small cozy hostel up on the hill on the way to Manuel Antonio. I stayed there for 3 nights in a female dorm (4 bunk beds). Although the hostel might appear a bit rustic, it is clean, the view is fantastic and it is good value for money. 
To start off: if you want to visit Manuel Antonio you either stay on the hill or you stay in the village of Quepos. The first option is to be preferred as most restaurants and shops including supermarkets are located uphill on route to Manuel Antonio. As far as I have heard Quepos get very quite at night and appears to be unsafe to be out at night. A friend who stayed there preferred to drive up to Vista Serena to enjoy the view as well as to go out for dinner at night.
Also the breakfast at the little "diner" across from the hostel is great value as well as all other meals. In case you want to cook your own dinner, the hostel also has a kitchen available for guest use and supermarkets are close by.

You go there for the view!

My husband and I traveled from San Jose to Manuel Antonio not knowing what hotel to book during our taxi ride i searched and found this affordable hostel i booked in less that 5 minutes and im glad i did!! When arriving before check in time our room was ready so we were able to go in before and the view we received was amazing also the we got the room with a kitchen and living room and a fan. It felt like we were in our home or our dream home. Nothing fancy but warming, also the food was delicious from a small restaurant they have near the main office. It is not close to Manuel Antonio we had to take a bus they offered taxis but the bus was so much fun and welcoming. We only stayed one night even if we wanted to stay longer we then moved to a hotel closer to the beach and food, There is more restaurants up a 5 minutes walk up the hill. Over all, for a hostel and the price I was very satisfied with a beautiful view to the ocean and a hammock.
