PRICE:
Frommer's Recommended

On the road to Manuel Antonio, just outside of Quepos, the "Blue Monkey" offers clean and comfortable rooms at a good price. The more expensive rooms feature air-conditioning and/or a small television with cable. The newer villas have red-tile floors, separate sitting rooms, and a kitchenette. One room even has a Jacuzzi tub. Though all the rooms feel rather spartan, the place has a lively, hostel-like vibe. The owner is active in a children's arts program aimed at helping preserve the local rainforest and the endangered squirrel monkey. In fact, 10% of your bill goes to this program. The restaurant/pizzeria here is quite popular. Staff members can arrange longer-term rentals of fully equipped apartments and villas.
