Thought the place was nice and clean, great prices and it has a pool which was awesome. But I agree w some of the other reviews that the dorm rooms were really hot and unfortunately didn't cool down much even with leaving the door open during the evening. I loved the dogs there, they were cute, but a few of... More

This is a pretty good hostel with a nice pool, but the dormatories were so hot it was almost impossible to sleep in. In fact, I ended up going outside in the hammock to sleep. Aside from that it was all fine.

I stay here two day. Each day for 45 dollars I had a great big Rottweiler bark at me then sometimes run at me growling. Not good for what you pay. When your on RnR not good. The man at the desk says he only does that a little. Just pet him when he growled at you sir. I told... More

I liked this place. Staff was really helpful and nice. Rooms were fine, nothing less than you'd expect at a hostel. Prices good and they let you put three people in a private room which is cheaper than doing the dorm. The pool is nice and social as is the common room area. The hostel is really cute with a... More

Unlike most other places near Manuel Antonio, the Wide Mouth Frog is not completely overpriced. It is a hostel indeed: the dorms do not have private bathrooms, some private rooms do, while they have, however, a considerably higher price. The place has got a great pool and a large community kitchen, which allows you to cook for yourself. The Wide... More

I felt the need to write a review for this place because it really is diamond in the rough. While there's not really too much to quepos, this hostel has it all. Rooms are a little small but other than sleeping I hung out in pool area or wifi area. Great $3 value breakfast! And the best thing about this... More

after a seemingly unterminable hustle to find a suitable sleeping option around Manuel Antonio and Quepos, we settled for WMF in Quepos. At first glance a good choice. Friendly staff, open layout, clean pool, big kitchen area. on the not so positive side: the rooms are clean, but they get very hot and the fan-option is not really helping out.... More

It has got a lot of facilities like pool and kitchen and laundry service. The rooms are ok but you need to pay extra 10 us for a/c. The place appears clean but we had a total of 4 cockroaches in the room. At least those were the ones we saw and killed. They did not have another room so... More

I spent one year in Costa Rica (Jul 2009 - Jul 2010) and went to Quepos/Manuel Antonio 5 or 6 times over the weekend and everytime I chose the Wide Mouth Frog. I didn't have the urge to look for another hostal, because I felt so comfortable there. The staff remembered me after my first visit. Pretty amazing considering I... More
