Blue Morpho House — Hotel in Quepos

I enjoyed staying here. I definitely felt far away from my normal life there. Cooking breakfast at 6:30 in the morning while listening to Howler Monkeys announce the dawn was a beautiful experience. The people who run it were incredibly nice and did a great job of keeping the room clean. ||||That being said, it would not be everyone´s cup of tea. First there is not air conditioner, just a fan. The temperature at night was cool so this was not a problem for us and we never even used the fan. Worse was the fact that there is no warm water for the shower. While after a hot day at the beach this is not a problem, this made taking a shower in the morning rather jolting. Finally the room we had was basically an extension of the living room. There is a door, but the window is just a screen and a curtain, no glass the keep out noise. There is absolutely no privacy. The night comes early in Costa Rica, 5:30, so by 9:30 we were in bed. If anyone decides to cook after that or watch T.V. sleep is impossible. Everyone is supposed to be quiet after 9:30 but that depends on the quests, While we we there that was not always the case. The other guests tried to be quiet but when you can hear the people cutting meat on their plate, that is impossible.||||Manuel Antonio is very expensive.The prices at Blue Morpho can´t be beat. The street it is on is nice and there is a good supermarket at the corner. The kitchen has everything so cooking was great and recommended. Walking down to the the beaches of Biesanz and Espadilla is easy (getting back is a tough uphill walk). The buses to Quepos and the park pass close by every 15 minutes for less than a dollar.||||For the price, I would stay...

Great hostel. Comfy beds, clean rooms, well-equipped kitchen. Owner is really nice and helpful. Laundry for ₡2,000/kilo and it was the first time I used a drop-off service and had 0 problems (besides the nerves that come with worrying they'll mess something up - I miss coin laundromats 😭), and it was fast because she does it right there.

Be aware that the ladder up the top bunk is sharp on your feet, but she moved me to a bottom bunk for my 2nd night when other people checked out!

Be prepared to walk up a steep hill both directions because it's up and down a few times from the main road. I saw a pair of red guacamayos flying back and forth among the trees near the hostel!

When they say book your Manuel Antonio Park ticket in advance, they mean at least a week in advance! Don't show up like many of us thinking you can book it 1-2 days in advance! There's not much to do around here...

We stayed at Blue Morfo house for one night in a shared room and really enjoyed the place: clean, kitchen well equipped compared to other places in Costa Rica, nice people. Not too far from the beach, even though taking the bus is recommended. There is a supermarket round the corner where you can buy anything you need. Towels and soap are provided. The only thing I did not like is that,when booking,they ask you for a credit card number "for safety",but then they only accept cash when acrually paying for the accomodation and they say you can't pay with carsa. This is a bit unsettling,they should not be asking for a credit card number in the...
