Quepos is where Manuel Antonio does its living. It has the marina, the supermarket, the hardware store, the good soda where a casado costs a fraction of what you pay on the hill, and a Friday farmers market worth planning around. Staying here means lower rates, a shorter drive to the boats, and a town that is still a town rather than a strip of hotels.
It also covers the country immediately inland, Portalón, Savegre, and the Portasol area, where properties sit in real rainforest with rivers and waterfalls instead of ocean views. That is a genuinely different holiday from the hillside villas, and cheaper.
Anglers, because Marina Pez Vela is right there. Families who want space and a kitchen over a concierge. And anyone who would rather spend the difference on a fishing day than on a view.
Quepos is also the base for seventeen sportfishing operations at Marina Pez Vela, and for the Savegre and Naranjo rafting rivers. If you want the villa quiet and the marina close, this is the trade.
