We loved Costa Linda. The accomodations are very basic but it was clean and had everything that we needed. Management was incredibly kind and helpful. They had a huge, delicious breakfast for only $4 and a great, social bar for the evenings. Plus, you can't beat the location - just one block from the beach.

The cheapest way to see beautiful Manuel Antonio, I'm sure. The location is ideal - right next to the national park entrance. Breakfasts are massive and very fair price. Bathrooms and bedrooms are very basic but you get what you pay for, of course.

This place is a hotel and restaurant. As a hotel, it`s lacking a lot of things. Sanitation is one of them. The mens room was ALWAYS disgusting. You can smell the bathrooms from 10feet away. The stall doors do not lock and there is no soap in the bathroom. "Bare necessities" is an under statement about the hotel rooms. There... More

A great place to stay if visiting Manuel Antonio, it is right in the heart of town, 150m from the beach and about the same to the entrance of the National Park. The rooms are light as they all open into a small garden area, but are basic with shared bathrooms but at $10 per person per night you can't... More

We did not stay there but we went few times to have something to eat and OM!, the best food we tried in MA, also a great value for money. My favourite was fish in mango-mustard sauce, yummy! They also serve nice coctails.

We did not stay here but ate breakfast and one dinner. Breakfast - 2000 colones each - great big breakfast. We sat and very quickly a big plate of fruit and pancakes were given to us. Then comes another plate with gallo pinto, scrambled eggs and toast. Coffee include. Amazing deal. Dinner - I had curry chicken that was awesome.... More

We stayed in Manuel Antonio for 2 nights - not at this hostel, but we did eat here due to a recommendation from another guest at our hotel. SOOOOOO glad we did. This was a 5* dinner as far as we are concerned. I ordered the Mahi Mahi - perfect. My wife ordered a chicken dish - which she devoured... More

We did not stayed at Backpackers Paradise Costa Linda, but we did have dinner at its restaurant one night…that what my review is based on. It was my best meal in Manuel Antonio, maybe my best meal in Costa Rica. We had casados with fish and piña coladas at an affordable price (everything is very expensive in MA). I later... More

One of the best backpacker hostels that you can find in this town. Rooms are decent, there's a big cheap breakfast for 4 dollars, the staff is very nice and friendly. The only bad thing is that the bathrooms aren't very clean and the stalls don't have locks. If you're not planning on spending more than 10 dollars on a... More
