Wake up with the birds and watch the monkeys play at our new and improved Backpackers.

Backpackers MA is a family owned and operated hostel. We keep a clean kitchen, with new amenities. We offer a communal entertainment room equipped with a television, DVD player, and more than 60 DVD’s to choose from which range from Disney classics such as “Cool Runnings” to action films like “Total Recall”. And if that isn’t enough for you we even have a brand new football table and free internet service with a very fast wireless connection for your enjoyment. We also sell various snacks and beverages for those late night munchies! Also, if you intend on taking one of the marvelous tours that Manuel Antonio has to offer (snorkeling, diving, canopy, sunset cruises, ATV, river rafting, kayaking and much more) we will provide you with all information and would be happy to book any tour you want.

We are located right in the middle of Manuel Antonio. Within walking distance there are shops, a super market, an amazing pizzeria and many fine dinning as well as moderately priced restaurants, oh, and some great bars! If you have your sights set on visiting the beautiful Manuel Antonio National park it’s only a five minute car or bus ride away. The busses run regularly every thirty minutes from Quepos to the beach at Manuel Antonio and vice versa, with a bus stop literally in front of our hostel.

We offer private rooms as well as shared dormitories. Our private rooms start at $30USD for 1-2 pp then increases by $10USD with each additional person. Our largest private room can fit up to 8 persons comfortably and a bed in our dorm rooms cost $9USD, the cheapest you’ll find in the area. We boast HOT water in each of our daily cleaned bathrooms. Our spacious patio is perfect for grilling out, (there’s an awesome butcher shop across the street), passing the time with new and old friends, listening to music on our new sound system, or just relaxing by taking in the sights and sounds on one of our lazy hammocks. What more is there to say, besides, when can we be expecting you?
