Quepos travelogue picture
Quepos is located on the Pacific coast and it definitly has its own personality. There is so much to do in this area and a good week can be spent here. Beaches are a 6 on a 10 scale, but the hiking makes up for that. The jungles are lush and the wildlife is maybe a 7. But the character of the area is what I like.

Favourite spots:

Taking the bus over to Manuel Antonio National Park. This has some beautiful beaches and the wildlife is about an 8. We saw whitefaced monkeys everywhere, a few sloths, but the birdlife was disappointing.

What's really great:

The beach inside the park of Manuel Antonio is one of the most beautiful I have ever seen. I would rate it a 9 (mainly because nothing beats Thailand!). Without a doubt, pay the money to go into the park, bring a lunch and enjoy.

Accommodations:
From cheap cheap to moderate expensive

Nightlife:
none

Hangouts:
Several little pubs here. All have their own character/personality

Restaurants:
Actually a little more expensive than elsewhere in Costa Rica, but not bad comparatively.
