This was our second time to Manuel Antonio and we wanted to spend our whole day in the park this time. ( Last time we only had a few hours at the park since we were off a cruise ship and had to be back on board by a certain time ) We had a guided tour in the morning...

We enjoyed the walk in to the beach in the park, however, nothing else to rave about! We saw a couple sloths way up high and learned a few things from listening to the tour guides. However, we do not recommend the beach. Not worth the money! The beach outside for free was just the same to us!!

The water was turquoise blue and warm and the surf was very calm because you are in a cove. The beach was not crowded at all, even on a weekend. I...

We had really good breezes on Playa Manuel Antonio, but Playa Espadilla Sur (only a short walk (0.8 km)...

My fiance and I enjoyed two beautiful days en la Playa Manuel Antonio. Once we were entertained by monkeys for a majority of our day. It was great and the beach is spectacular.

The further you stay from downtown manuel antonio on the public beach, the better -- fewer people, vendors, and dogs.

We first went on a guided tour around 9am and saw a few things (sloths, toucans, a few lizards) but when we went back alone around 12:30pm we saw much more including several monkeys playing the trees around the beach and several more sloths (including a baby!). The park is small and there are many other groups doing tours as...
