It offers easy walks along beaches and simple hikes through the thick, lush forest.

With 682 hectares of land, Manuel Antonio National Park is home to just about everything Costa Rica is famous for: beautiful white sand beaches, amazing views of offshore islands, lush rainforest, and exotic wildlife.

There are both economy and upscale accommodations in Manuel Antonio. Economy hotels tend to be closer to the beach, while the upscale hotels position themselves up the mountain where the breezes and lush scenery will help you relax in comfort.
