Stay Away from Manuel Antonio
Manuel Antonio is a tourist trap- Stay Away!
Plenty of nice, local, and cheap beaches in Costa Rica. There is nothing special about Manuel Antonio other than the seas of white women in bikinis. Tourist everywhere and people trying to sell you things that I do not want.
Not Vagabond Friendly!

We just got back from a Costa Rica Family Vacation. Loved it!!!! We went to Manuel Antonio, the kids loved the squirrel monkeys, they call them Mono Titi. They are so small that they fit in your hand.
We went for a day in February and enjoyed it, especially the 3 lovely beaches in the park which were not at all crowded. One problem were the racoons, which will steal any food you leave near the beach! The park was a nice walk and we saw quite a few animals. In town, we stayed at a hostel, Cabinis Piscis, bare-bones but lovely setting with a great, private beach. Yes, the town is touristy but we didn't regret visiting here for a day, especially traveling with our teenage son.
