Hostel Plinio is one of the newest additions to the hostel scene in Manuel Antonio and is one of the oldest hotel properties in the area. In the early 80's when Plinio was built there was no road leading to the property, only a small dirt path. The materials used to build the original structure were taken from the surrounding jungle or brought in by foot. This type of construction made for magnificent wood work and a truly natural vibe. In fact, in the hotels early years it was precisely that natural, secluded feel that attracted characters such as Timothy Leary. Plinio was one of Mr. Leary's Jungle hide aways and once you've experienced this historic location for yourself, it's not hard to imagin why. Open air, beautiful dark wood, jungle life, a mountain breeze, ocean views, convenient location, a rich history, and an unshakably deep feeling of relaxation makePlinio a very, very special find.Today, Plinio is a staple in the Manuel Antonio community and a place for locals and travelers to enjoy. The property features a hostel, a restaurant and bar, a deep pool, a scuba school, and a studio space for classes and events.The accommodations at Hostel Plinio all include a Continental breakfast and range greatly with the intention of being suitable for travelers on every kind of budget.Each of the two dorms feature three stories, spacious sleeping areas, a bathroom, lockers large enough to fit your whole pack, powerful wall and ceiling fans, hard wood floors, ocean and jungle views, and outdoor patios.For a more private stay, travelers may choose from 4 styles of rooms.
